When the Cape Town chill sets in, there are only three things that can make winter feel right: comfort food, cozy corners, and zero judgment for ordering carbs on carbs.
Enter Ruby’s Bakery & Café at Pepperclub Hotel, where their Winter Warmer Special Dishes are here to snuggle your taste buds into a seasonal food coma!
Available at both Ruby’s and COPA Restaurant, this special winter menu is packed with bold flavors, big portions, and all the comforting classics you crave when the wind is howling and your duvet isn’t portable.
🍔 The Smash Burger – R205
This burger doesn’t whisper “comfort food”—it shouts it with smoky mozzarella and a homemade BBQ sauce that means business. Add in caramelized onions, garlic aioli, all the salad fixings, and a mountain of rustic fries, and you’ve got a full-on hibernation meal.
🐔 Crispy Chicken Burger – R205
Who needs a fireplace when you’ve got panko-crusted chicken, smoked cheese, harissa aioli, and a punch of pickled jalapeños? Served with a crunchy pile of rustic fries, this one’s got just the right kick to thaw you out from the inside.
🍝 Spaghetti Bolognese – R235
Nothing says “hug in a bowl” like slow-cooked beef mince ragu tangled in spaghetti and topped with parmesan. It’s rich, it’s classic, and it’s unapologetically hearty.
🍄 Chicken & Mushroom Pasta – R255
Creamy, dreamy, and loaded with sautéed mushrooms, parsley, and tender chicken, this penne dish is winter comfort at its most elegant. Parmesan snow? Yes, please.
🐟 Fish & Fries – R220
Golden battered hake, caper & dill aioli, and pickled fennel bring that pub-style nostalgia with a gourmet twist. Served with—you guessed it—those glorious rustic fries.
Mood: Coastal cravings meet cold-weather cravings. You’re fancy, but also very hungry.
