A great time at Zigi's, good food, good ambiance, I recommend.
I have a really good times with my friends at Zigi's, great atmosphere and cool staff! Large selection of good cheeses, I will come back for sure.
The people, the ambient, the service, the food, the cheeses and the drinks are just sensational. They also have wine tasting nights, music nights or just chill out in the back room. The staffs are friendly and makes you feel really welcome as the bar is not too big but there is enough room to stretch out or meet people.
A nice atmosphere with pleasant people. The menu is very diversify and the cheese was good. I will come back at Zigi's. Thank you for this moment
Innovative delicious food at a very affordable price in Zigis Bar.
I felt the atmosphere very nice, good music and nice people ! The service was very pleasant too.
A very relaxed place, love it !
This is the best place in Chippendale and possibly in Sydney! Art, Cheese and wine.. What can you ask more?! The wine menu always has a distinctive range that you cannot find anywhere for a very good price. The staff is knowledgeable offering an excellent service. The atmosphere is awesome. Every time that I go there I always meet new people and make new friends. There is always something on: events, specials, parties.. There is also a cooking school which I haven't been but I have been told it is very good as Zigi always organises different classes such as Paleo cooking for instance. This is now my favourite bar!
Quirky arty fun with a generous dash of Zigivino! I have organised a few catch ups at Zigis, a table of 10 for European visitors, a girly cheese and wine night out, and catch-ups during the Beams Festival. There is always some event happening at Zigi's, from gallery viewings, to music nights... check Zigi's FB page to keep updated. I am working my way down the Ausraeli inspired menu and I'm always pleasantly surprised, classic falafel prawns are still my favourite.
Friendly staff and great atmosphere! The cocktails are great. The food was very disappointing, it's the reason we have not rushed back. It's worth a look in though.

The name says it all. This is a very diverse place! Even though it's called an Art Wine Cheese Bar it has great food as well with an Ausraeli theme - but adding "Restaurant" may make the name just to long.
It’s early on a Friday evening and I am finishing my working week at a quaint and cosy wine bar in Chippendale. The entrance is in a small lane off Abercrombie Street. Not exactly a venue you would stumble across without knowing it is there but the Owner Zigi Ozeri has boosted his chances by covering the surrounding lanes with chalk messages to draw you in.

“Welcome to the house of looove.” Fedora cocked jauntily, and all dapper white shirt, black suspenders and bon mots, Zigi is quick to make you welcome at his eponymous bar. Testament to his background, the menu is dubbed ‘Ausraeli’, and the signature dish is Felafel Prawns ($21).

Cheese adventures!. As a cheese lover I'm always on the hunt for a good venue to have a 'cheese'athon'! After trying a few places I realised that it's not just about good cheese, or good wine. It's about the vibe too. Zigi's catered for all that I was looking for in a good night with friends.
Walking into the sneaky little entrance in a graffitied lane way I was greeted by the very charming Zigi himself. Amongst the funky decor and the dimly lit candle light (they make the candles them selfs) my friends and I enjoyed an amazing range of modern Israeli foods and incredible cheeses accompanied by perfectly matched wines (matched by Zigi) and some seriously interesting but very yummy beetroot cider. I have to say they make the best fattoush salad I have ever had which was made all the more enjoyable by the cool relaxed vibe and reggae beats playing in the background.
For an a break from out 'cheese-fest' we then checked out the gallery space upstairs open for viewing and exhibiting a rotation of awesome local artworks by artists looking to share their talents in a wank free environment!
I would definitely recommend it to any cheese lovers looking for a new cheeky little boutique bar to hang out in.
Zigis rocks. This is the third time we've been here. First two times were for a cheese and wine flight (which was great, btw). This time was for a "molecular cocktail" class. Zigi greeted us on our way in (what a great host he is!). We couldn't help but order some cheese and wine to snack in before the class. The truffle pecorino is still my favourite. Zigette behind the bar helpfully advised us of a good wine to have with it.
Then off to the class - a lot of fun. Brian certainly knows his stuff and the cocktails were delicious, although I think a little too complicated for me to make at home. All good though.
Another great night here and I can't wait to get back soon.
Unique,eclectic,sensational food,wine,art and service.A treasure
Pricey but tasty - great cheese and wine selection and nice atmosphere just overshade the exxy nature of things
Liked it!!!. Just popped in for a quiet drink and a meal with my partner and I must say, this place is kind of a well-kept secret in Chippendale! The atmosphere is just great, lots of art, a relaxed vibe and people can chat while enjoying the menu. We had the "Wine of the moment" which lets you get away if you don't know your wine facts. Highly recommended!

Wine + Cheese... Need I say more?. There are some things in this in this world that are GOOD by themselves, but paired with the right partner can transform into something AMAZING, like fish & chips, Bonnie & Clyde or Batman & Robin (or my husband and I, he is Definitely better now that he has me haha)... Wine and Cheese is Batman and Robin, they just seem to work better as a team. There is something about those two things that are magical, I mean who DOESN'T like wine and cheese? So imagine our delight upon moving to Chippendale seeing those two words scrawled all over the pavements in chalk on our street! As soon as we had the chance, we followed the chalk arrows In a bid to find this magical 'Wine & Cheese' place. It is tucked away on a neat little side street and at first you might think you're walking into someone's house, unless you're alcoholics like us and know a small bar when you see one. We when walked in we were greeted by a super friendly guy who told us to pick a bottle of wine to open and it would become the 'Wine of the moment' so after telling him the kind of wine we liked, he selected a bottle and poured us a glass, we took a seat while he went and got us a selection of cheese (you can pick your own but it's always more exciting asking him to pick for and you know he will pair it well with your wine). When he came back, he told us the origins of each one and also what to expect when we tasted each cheese. Now, I thought it was going to be good, but I never expected it to be as amazing as it was! The cheeses were insanely delicious and the wine was absolutely divine, having them together was literally orgasmic. We initially intended on going just to quickly check it out, but ended up staying for a very substantial amount of wine and cheese and while we were there, got talking to the owner/ chef, Zigi, he is the most passionate and knowledgeable foodie I have met in a long time and I love someone who is passionate about what they do, we could have spoken to him for hours longer but It was approaching 1am by now, time had flown between all the amazing wine, cheese and conversation we had been there for 4 hours! (and we expected the bill to be a lot bigger than it was too!). Needless to say we have been back on a regular basis after that visit and although we recently moved out of Chippendale we still plan on going back regularly. I just hope all the foodies and the hipster community don't discover this little gem because unlike almost every small bar in the city, you can actually turn up on a Friday or Saturday night and have a seat, which is oh so rare! But I know it is inevitable because of how fantastic it is!
Amazing!!. This place is amazing. Small and intimate with a huge range of local and exotic wines, cheeses and handmade chocolates. Zigi is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about all the products available and the service was second to none. Can't wait to try one of the cooking classes!
I followed the chalk on the road, very interesting... love the bar style, warm and relaxing and very Melbourne for me and the cheeses...OMG to die for... highly reccomend the Trevo from Portugal and Brie from la rustic- Normandy...yumm
host is very knowledgeable and with heaps of passion... he love his work, wines and his cheeses!
if you around Chippendale on the weekend, get in first as its very packed and there's only 16 seats...

Had an amazing night at Zigi’s to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The bar itself is so cute and the wine garden in the back has the best vibes!
The staff are phenomenal and the food and drinks are not just delicious but also so well priced for Sydney! Everyone had the best time!
We have also been here on date nights and I can honestly say - it never disappoints!
An absolute hidden gem with great vibes and great staff. I booked the outdoor area on a Thursday night for a group of 15 - and Zigi's completely exceeded our expectations.
The outdoor area was very cosy and charming - decked out with fairy lights and was completely covered to protect us from the rain. It was intimate yet spacious enough for us to be comfortable.
The service was also top notch. As soon as we arrived, Antony (the bartender) made us feel very welcome and was the reason why people lingered around the bar for a while when they went to get more drinks (as they were having such a terrific time talking to him!). Antony was very helpful in recommending drinks and food (which were all reasonably priced) - get the crispy cauliflower bites and the mixed dips!
Zigi also came by to say a warm hello to us and to make sure we were having a great time (which we were). In fact, all of us had such great time that I've already made our next booking to go back!
Popped into Zigis for a pre-show dinner. My goodness the food was excellent. Reasonably priced and a lovely variety of dishes and cocktails. The service was top notch, I didn't catch the bartenders name, but whomever was on last saturday night, thank you for making our visit so special. Will definitely be back!
We felt right at home at Zigi's - walking in from the rain to a warm welcome started the night off perfectly. No surprise that the wine selection is fantastic but we were amazed by the variety of food on the menu as well. We thoroughly enjoyed the brisket, duck pancakes, raclette and arancini. It's been awhile since I've visited a place where I felt so comfortable and relaxed - the Zigi's team have created something special in such a great space and I look forward to visiting them again, whatever the weather!
I called in to Zigi's prior to a show late on Saturday afternoon..We were greeted by friendly staff and served some perfectly mixed cocktails... sooo good! We then picked our way through some of the menu food, sharing quite a few different dishes.. all cooked beautifully. Washed down with some delicious wine of course.. I only wish I could have lingered longer. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Loved Zigi's.
Recently, my birthday was held at Zigi's, my friends and I had an absolute blast and enjoyed the authenticity of this place. Service was top tier and Zigi is a gem. Highly recommend Zigi's Wine Bar for dinner, drinks and birthday occasions. Thank you for having us Zigi!!!!
Small but cosy bar area with a great welcoming atmosphere and intimate back garden area, super friendly and helpful bar staff. Huge amount of variety and quality in the updated food and wine menu too (a nice surprise since my last visit), we wanted to try everything!
ery quiet on the evening I was there, but Zigi and team still created a warm inviting atmosphere. Great cocktails and delicious, very reasonably
priced food.
