Please note The Kove will be closed for the winter, from 01 May to 30 August.

Sometimes you just want to sit back in a classy, comfy setting - and enjoy hearty, familiar delights with good friends, great views and amazing wines …times when you just want to wrap yourself up in a warm, cozy circle of friendship, food and festivity.

The next time this feeling overcomes you, there’s no reason to look further than The Kove, on Camps Bay’s golden mile.

Whether it’s a long-lost re-union, an early retirement, or a spontaneous proposal; if you’re looking for a special place to celebrate life – and satisfy all your senses ¬at once – the Kove will come up trumps in all regards.

In a stylish take on a Thirties “speakeasy”, or classic Gentleman’s club, meets contemporary Continental grillroom, The Kove pulls off an ambience that relaxes, seduces, and satisfies - all with a light, fresh, playful touch.

The same may be said of their focused, fad-free menu that draws heavily on old-school favourites and brasserie standards - tossed up with some modern, fancy flourishes.

Expect fresh, hearty, grillroom fare prepared to perfection, peppered with inspiration, and presented with aplomb. No sparsely-arranged, reconstituted portions here! (The only mousse you’ll find is on the dessert list, and their only foam is on your cappucino.)

An encyclopaedic wine and drinks list offers something for every palate and level of celebration – from lekker local reliables to the finest that money and taste can buy.

The helpful background notes provide a wealth of information to optimize your experience - from appropriate food and wine pairings, to local vintage trends, and special releases.

For decades, the world’s leading high-end car designers have known that when rich wood paneling, smoky mirrors and leather upholstery are artfully and tastefully combined, they tend to provide an unparalleled sensation of luxury, serenity and decadence.

And lushly esconced in your generous Kove chair or booth, you’d be inclined to suggest that the same may be said of top-marque restaurant design as well.

Another common feature in restaurant and car design is that sound is a major consideration in a perfectly relaxing social environment. Whether your meal’s carefully considered soundtrack comes to you via leading live jazz acts, or via the unobtrusive Bose speakers (as in your Maybach, or Maserati) you can rest assured that the tempo, taste and talent perfectly complement your meal.
