Wanting to bring visitors to the other side of Camps Bay with quality operations Kovensky says that he has created environments that he would like to be in as a customer.
Cutting edge, contemporary café, Bungalow is Camps Bay's new hot spot for chilling with friends. With beautiful white and blue décor and plush white couches and beds, guests are invited to relax and sip on a delicious cocktail off the extensive drinks menu. For Kovensky, the focus is always on the food and even the cocktails are designed around freshly squeezed fruit juice.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner the carefully planned menu is described as cutting edge molecular gastronomy created by Chef Gabriel Le Roux. With international experience from Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi, India, Diaz Strand Hotel and Resort, The Emperors Palace Resort Hotel and the 2 Rosette 1 Michelin star Le Petit Blancin Cheltenham, UK, Gabriel received culinary qualifications from City & Guilds in London as well as the Culinary Arts Institute of Africa.
To maximise on the social aspect of the venue and give diners the opportunity to try numerous mouth watering dishes, Bungalow offers an extensive menu of Shared Dishes. Gruyere fondue with tio pepe and ground cloves, Sautéed Norwegian salmon, served with grilled baby aubergine and pea sauce, Coconut tempura prawns with dipping sauce, Crayfish tail, poached new potatoes with vanilla-citrus spray, Smoked duck breast with warm goat's cheese and walnut vinaigrette, Pan-fried foie gras, toasted walnut brioche with micro greens, and Beef burgers with guacamole and brie cheese are just some of these mouth watering dishes available to share.
Making the spectacular summer days last even longer, at 11pm Bungalow transforms into a beach bar and will fill the sea air with sounds of organic deep house.
On the other end of the spectrum but with the focus still on a high quality culinary experience is The Kove, a traditional grill house with that sought after Camps Bay flair and seafood. Combining old school classics with new age cuisine this beach grill offers upmarket dining for those looking for phenomenal food and service. Chef Neil Norman brings extensive experience to the table after having commenced his studies at Zevenwacht Chef School and worked at top class restaurants' such as D'Aria Function Venur, Poplars Restaurant, Greens Restaurant and Balthazar Restaurant. The menu at The Kove allows meat lovers to either select their own prime cuts of meat or tuck into dishes such as the spectacular Fillet Château Briand, with marchand de vin or flambéed in brandy. The luxurious décor adds to the ambiance of the restaurant with dark leather booths allowing intimacy and privacy. The extensive wine list allows choice for the wine connoisseur and an education for the interested. With a wide range of wines available by the glass this menu offers flexibility and drinkability.
With the décor of both venues created by Paul Kovensky and executed by John Case of Stefan Anthoni, Bungalow and The Kove add excitement and the exceptional to Camps Bay.
