THE FOOD

At COY, our food is about unearthing Africa’s often-overlooked treasures, from uncovering ancient cooking techniques to rediscovering culinary stories and exploring indigenous ingredients.
As with all that Chef Ryan does, sustainability, seasonality, and a dedication to locality are the cornerstones of this offering.

THE SPACE

COY is located between the eye-catching marina with its luxury yachts and the brute of fishing boats passing through the operational harbour of the V&A Waterfront. Situated on the water’s edge, Cape Town’s magnificent Table Mountain provides a beautiful backdrop for diners at any time of day.

THE PEOPLE

COY marks the second restaurant by the award-winning South African Chef Ryan Cole, whose much-lauded flagship restaurant, Salsify at the Roundhouse, has become a staple of the country’s fine dining scene.
For this project, the chef is joined in the kitchen by head chefs Geoffrey Abrahams and Teenola Govender, who have worked alongside him to create this one-of-a-kind experience.
