Meet the culinary minds behind the dishes
The brains behind this unique dining experience are COY head chefs Teenola Govender and Geoffrey Abrahams. The duo have crafted a menu rooted in local, seasonal ingredients, offering something fresh and exciting. With a mix of old-school favourites and bold new dishes it’s the perfect combo for those looking to try something different while still enjoying the comfort of familiar flavours.
“With SunDAZE, we wanted to create something relaxed but still considered – a meal made for chefs, families, and anyone needing a proper Sunday reset. It’s thoughtful food in good company, without overthinking it.” – Chef Teenola and Chef Geoffrey.
What’s on the menu?
The set menu is all about sharing with no substitutions – but each dish works beautifully with the next. It’s focused on seasonal flavours, with each ingredient holding an element of fire.
For R490 per person, guests can expect small bites like marinated olives, roasted tomatoes, and amagwinya brioche with smoked sirloin, capers, dill, and bramble currant. While the lighter options include diablo flatbreads with house-made hummus or a salad of chargrilled courgettes, radicchio, and Foxenburg Crottin.
Mains feature whole roasted fish with ras el hanout, charred limes, and sumac onions – smoky, zesty, and cooked just right. For dessert, a 64% Manjari crémeux with toasted vanilla ice cream and scorched meringue brings the meal to a perfect close.
