Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront is about to welcome an exciting new culinary destination.
Award-winning chef Ryan Cole, the talent behind Salsify at The Roundhouse, will be opening his second restaurant, COY, in August. Nestled along the water’s edge beside the Bascule Bridge, COY promises to deliver a fresh dining experience that celebrates the bounty of the ocean while offering some of the most stunning views in the city. This makes it one of the most anticipated new restaurants at the V&A Waterfront.
Hidden Gems and Spectacular Views
Hidden in plain sight, COY occupies a previously unassuming stand-alone building, perfectly positioned to overlook the working harbour, luxury yachts in the marina, and the iconic Table Mountain backdrop. Guests can expect a relaxed yet refined atmosphere where every dish is inspired by the ocean and Cape Town’s rich culinary heritage. The restaurant’s location and design ensure that diners are treated not only to world-class cuisine but also to an unforgettable waterside experience.
Ocean-Inspired Fine Dining
Chef Ryan Cole brings the same attention to detail and innovative approach that made Salsify a culinary landmark. COY will focus on seasonal, sustainably sourced ingredients, showcasing African produce through ocean-inspired dishes and creative techniques. This approach makes COY a standout among new restaurants at the V&A Waterfront, appealing to both locals and visitors seeking fine dining with a coastal twist.
With its prime location, spectacular views, and innovative cuisine, COY is poised to become one of Cape Town’s most talked-about dining destinations. For those who love waterfront dining and exceptional seafood, the opening of COY is not to be missed.
