New To Bree Street: Charango Peruvian Grill and Bar

WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring IMAGES Micky Hoyle

Headed up by chef Kieran Whyte, this trendy new restaurant on Cape Town’s Bree Street serves up a mix of Peruvian and Japanese inspired dishes, otherwise known as Nikkei cuisine.

The menu features treats like Dirt Rubbed Tuna Tacos, “New Style” Ceviche, BBQ Pork Belly and Toasted Quinoa Creme, alongside cocktails like Orange & Buchu Sours and Chevere Raspberry Daiquiris.

The interiors, designed by Bone Interior Design Studio, are as appealing and innovative as the food. It’s a sophisticated example of urban design. From raw concrete and exposed brick to copper detailing, mosaic flooring and trendy pendant lighting, the decor is completed with a one-of-a-kind mural by renowned SA street artist Faith47.
