Pepper Club on the Beach – Camps Bay’s newest fine dining restaurant and cocktail bar, has announced the appointment of renowned Michelin-starred chef Carsten (Tony) Kocke, as its group executive chef.

Kocke brings with him thirty years of experience in the restaurant and hotel industry, from some of the top establishments across England, Germany and South Africa.

“Camps Bay has always had a mixture of local and international influences. I am looking forward to bringing these elements together in the dishes we serve and to making Pepper Club on the Beach one of the many must-visit attractions Cape Town has to offer,” says Kocke.

In 1994, Kocke opened his own restaurant, Ma Cuisine, in Brandenberg, Germany, which specialised in European cuisine with a South African flair. Five years after opening, the restaurant was recommended to the Michelin Guide and was awarded 1 star.

Kocke has also had a tenure as a private chef for the British Embassy in Berlin, Germany, with a responsibility for meals and functions for both diplomats and royalty. During his time at the embassy he cooked for Prince Charles, the King and Queen of Sweden and former US president Jimmy Carter.

“We are very lucky to have a chef of Tony’s calibre working at Pepper Club on the Beach,” says David Solomon, developer of Pepper Club. “His culinary expertise will ensure we are able to provide top quality dining to guests at the restaurant as well as at the Pepper Club, our R400 million five star luxury hotel due to open in Cape Town in February next year.”

Pepper Club on the Beach features a range of sumptuous lunches and dinners, combining popular dishes with Kocke’s flair for traditional South African cuisine. Guests can choose from a selection of top quality dishes with the freshest local ingredients including:

• Crispy Boland duck with cherry sauce
• Parmesan-encrusted veal scallops
• Fresh Cape rock lobster
• Trio of Game: Springbok, Ostrich and Kudu
