The Kove Collection\u2019s newest restaurant offers a nostalgic, yet contemporary dining experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in time for the summer season, Sea Point\u2019s newest experience to excite local foodies, Sonny and Irene, has opened its doors. Crafted by The Kove Collection, the local gem showcases everything that the group has become known for \u2013 stylish and contemporary interiors, a menu packed with delicious dishes and drinks, and a buzzing vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affectionately named after Paul Kovensky\u2019s grandparents, this timeless venue communicates a sentimental nod to the past in a modern fresh way. Pink pastel hues pop, soft marble finishes compliment, and oak reassures; creating a setting that doesn’t compromise style for comfort. A glance off the street makes it clear that craft and attention to detail are part of the deal, with an open kitchen, bakery and all-too-tempting cocktail bar framing the dining floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering caf\u00e9-style favourites for all occasions, this is an everyday eatery that will keep locals coming back for more. From the healthy to the decadent, the savoury to the sweet, the hot drinks to the cocktails, the menu has been carefully crafted by executive chef, Amber Deetlefs; and mixologist, Marshall Behaein, to create something for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the restaurant is the bakery, led by pastry chef Chris Morrison. From here visitors can expect a considered selection of breads, croissants and all manner of flaky creations, fresh out of the oven and ready to take care of any craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All baked goods, along with coffees, juices and smoothies, will also be available at The Pastry Bar, which will run alongside the main restaurant. Featuring a delectable offering of cakes, tarts and cookies, The Pastry Bar is perfect for a streetside coffee and catch-up, or for those just looking to grab-and-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to create something special, something that was not-your-average neighbourhood caf\u00e9 bakery,\u201d explains the head of operations, Alison Thomas. \u201cWe envisage this to be a place loved by locals and visitors alike \u2013 whether it be a morning meeting, a lazy lunch, or an evening of cocktails.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in the heart of Sea Point on the ground floor of the recently completed Station House, Sonny and Irene is a venue that effortlessly echoes the spirit of what Sea Point was and is.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no question that this local gem has a certain something, and then some \u2013 just what the neighbourhood ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
