Caness
Gazpacho cocktails have landed on Oxford Street.
Caness
Mediterranean$$
Sydney has seen fusion restaurants before, but never a Middle Eastern tapas bar.
Caness is the first venue from Shaffa owner Erez Nahum with long-time Shaffa head chef Juan Colmenares. It’s a relaxed, 60-seat tapas bar with a focus on Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. Think beef tartare with pimenton-harissa aioli, sardines with pan con tomato and shifka pepper relish and bonito crudo with jalapeno dressing.
Choose a vino from the chalkboard menu. There are drops from Greece, Italy, France and beyond, available by the glass, carafe and bottle. A short cocktail list includes a punchy gazpacho inspired by Spain’s iconic chilled soup.
