Kepos Street Kitchen, one of Redfern’s popular breakfast cafes specialising in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes with a twist, is preparing to re-open after more than 100 days in lockdown and the staff couldn’t be more excited to welcome the diners now that restrictions are easing down in Sydney.
If you miss having authentic spanakopita and shakshuka or dining in-store or al fresco on a beautiful Sydney day, it won’t be long before the cafe welcomes you back. Beginning Monday, 18 Oct 2021, Kepos Street Kitchen will serve dine-in customers for breakfast and lunch seven days a week. Booking for a table isn’t required as the cafe will welcome walk-in guests.
In anticipation of the return of normal business trading, the restaurant is hiring enthusiastic waitstaff who are willing to be trained and can work weekend shifts. Trading hours at Kepos Street Kitchen will not include evenings so interested job applicants will have their nights free.
However, for customers planning to have Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes for dinner, the restaurant’s food packs will remain on the menu, which means they could pick up takeaway orders at the Redfern site themselves or order online for home deliveries every Wednesday to Saturday.
The standard dinner pack can feed two to four people who would enjoy a feast of coriander-crusted slow-roasted lamb shoulder, cauliflower salad (with mint, parsley, walnuts, pistachios, and cranberries), hummus, and pita pockets.
At-home customers may also order the Mezze Boxes or Bake at Home Boxes of their choice with a few extras (dips and desserts)
Kepos Street Kitchen is from Israeli-born chef and owner Michael Rantissi. Diners can’t get enough of his breakfast falafels (served with hummus, tomato, cucumber, labneh, pickled chile, and soft-boiled egg) or his egg dishes and pastries.

Delicious food and vibes! The Mediterranean cuisine is authentic and very nutritious! The staff are lovely and sweet and it’s great to see Michael’s great smile as he flits through. Also love that Michael set up the deli during covid, it’s perfect for hosting with delicious meals!

The cafe is gorgeous and well situated. Service was friendly and fantastic and the hot chocolate was delicious and not too sweet. But the food blows all that away!! The falafel for breakfast dish was amazing, the hummus was flavourful and i would just highly recommend going there if you are in Sydney at all.

We had a lovely breakfast at Kepos with friendly staff and a great non-standard offering of Mediterranean inspired dishes. The labneh was particularly notable and halloumi cooked to perfection. There’s Even a Fridge packed full ofgoodies to take home with you
