Bungalow buzzes up Camps Beachfront Strip

A fantastic upmarket restaurant in Camps Bay brings summer to Cape Town's luxury bay

Restaurant maverick Paul Kovensky has added another two jewels to his growing crown of restaurants in Cape Town. Bungalow and The Kove are Paul's latest restaurants, situated along the prime Camps Bay beachfront strip, and both opened in December 2008.

The Bungalow Restaurant in Camps Bay has since closed and re-opened in Clifton at the former La Med location. Read more about the new 'The Bungalow Restaurant'.

Bungalow is a cutting edge, contemporary café and is Camps Bay’s new hot spot for chilling with friends. With beautiful white and blue décor and plush white couches and beds, guests are invited to relax and sip on a delicious cocktail off the extensive drinks menu.

Paul creates a relaxing, inviting, laidback and true Camps Bay atmosphere - designed to cater to anyone and everyone looking to dine in sophisticated but extremely relaxed environ - hence the blue tones and beds in Bungalow.

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Bungalow's carefully planned menu is described as cutting edge molecular gastronomy created by Chef Gabriel Le Roux.

With international experience from Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi, India, Diaz Strand Hotel and Resort, The Emperors Palace Resort Hotel and the 2 Rosette 1 Michelin star Le Petit Blancin Cheltenham, UK, Gabriel received culinary qualifications from City & Guilds in London as well as the Culinary Arts Institute of Africa.
