Restaurant dining room

South Aussies can prepare their taste buds for an exciting new experience as Santi’s opens its doors on Seaview Road. Transforming the former Relax Hair Salon into a unique hospitality destination, Santi’s promises an unparalleled dining experience. Inspired by The Alchemist’s Kitchen’s pizza and Alimentary Eatery’s coffee window, Santi’s design combines functionality and aesthetics. The venue maximises space with a front quarter dedicated to takeaway orders and the remainder offering an à la carte dining experience. Derived from Santiago in The Alchemist novel, Santi’s symbolises a new chapter. The menu features signature pizzas with a twist and a refined à la carte brunch, blending the best of both parent venues. Venue Owner, Deeb Miky, expressed his excitement, saying, “We are thrilled to be opening up Santi’s, our third venue. When this opportunity for a third venue arose, we wanted to incorporate our existing two venues into the third and came to the conclusion it was like a third child to us – Santiago.” He continued, “For anyone who has read the book The Alchemist, you will know Santiago is a little boy on his personal journey and the main character of the book.” Opening hours will be announced closer to the launch date, with plans to operate 5-6 days a week. The takeaway section will offer quick service for pizza, juices, and coffee, enhancing convenience on the busy Seaview Road strip.
