At COPA Restaurant, nestled in the heart of Cape Town inside the elegant Pepperclub Hotel, there’s no shortage of culinary flair.
From butter-soft steaks to artfully plated seafood, it’s the kind of menu that’ll make you question your ability to choose just one dish. [full menu]
But if you really want to eat like the chef? There’s only one answer: the Cape Malay Curry.
- Labeled “Chef’s Favourite” right on the menu, this dish is a fragrant, spiced masterpiece inspired by the bold and beloved flavours of the Cape. It’s rich, sweet-and-sour, perfectly balanced—and totally customisable. Whether you’re feeling veggies and tofu (hello, plant-based delight), tender chicken, prawns, or the ocean-fresh goodness of West Coast mussels, there’s a version for every palate. Choose between homemade roti or buttered pilaf rice—though let’s be honest, you’ll probably want both.
And just when you think it couldn’t get better, the curry is served with homemade sambals that bring the crunch, the zing, and that fresh pop of flavour every curry needs.
This isn’t just comfort food—it’s a love letter to Cape Town’s culinary heritage. The chef’s choice to spotlight this dish says it all: it’s deeply rooted in local flavour, made with heart, and totally unforgettable. Basically, it’s everything you want from a signature dish.
🍽️ So… What Are You Waiting For?
