Cape is a restaurant with a story that began in Cape Town, on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The name «Cape» not only refers to Cape Town but also means cape as it is.
The Head chef, Arina Zhuravleva, invites you to embark on a journey to the Cap d’Antibes in France with its luxurious villas and exclusive leisure areas, the Cape of Morocco in Spain — the southernmost point of continental Europe — or the picturesque Cape Greco in southeastern Cyprus, through signature dishes from various countries including France, Spain, and Italy, enriched with cosmopolitan accents from Asia, India, South America, and the Middle East.
A key focus of the menu is seasonal ingredients, meaning the menu is frequently updated. Arina uses ripe seasonal peaches in a sea bass crudo and a salad of rainbow tomatoes with peaches, stracciatella, and prosciutto, and complements young chanterelles with thinly sliced roasted potatoes and duck ravioli. In the green salad, marinated fennel and artichoke meet edamame beans, avocado, broccoli, and a sorrel verde sauce.
A standout appetiser is the triple cheese pie made with filo pastry, filled with blue cheese, seasonal greens, Camembert ice cream, and salted cottage cheese.
Arina is a master of sauces and recommends trying all the ingredients at a time to enjoy your gastronomic journey completely.
Her delicate handmade potato gnocchi are served with shrimps, asparagus, young peas, and Beure Monte sauce; citrus risotto is complemented by scallop tartare; crab cake is accompanied by lemon beurre blanc and parsley powder.
Arina’s dishes are inventive and refined comfort food, supporting the concept of casual dining with a good glass of wine or cocktail, which has been the basis of Cape’s concept from the beginning.
