Celebrate Love with a Mediterranean Lunch at COOKED this Valentine’s Day

COOKED in Sea Point presents a delightful culinary experience this Valentine’s Day, inviting guests to enjoy a meal that blends heritage, tradition, and seasonal creativity.

The restaurant’s Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-inspired menu celebrates the joy of food as a medium for connection and storytelling, with dishes that honor cultural roots while embracing fresh, contemporary flavors.

What’s on the new Summer Menu at Cooked?

At the heart of COOKED’s menu is a deep connection to family, exemplified by Farmer Jake’s Chicken Livers. This flavorful dish pays tribute to Lindy’s son Jake, who raises pasture-fed chickens on his farm in the Garden Route. Creamy and delicately spiced, it stands as a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to quality and care.
For those with a sweet tooth, the Challah French Toast offers a decadent treat. COOKED’s homemade challah, baked fresh every Friday, is transformed into a delightful indulgence with luxurious toppings—perfect for a special breakfast or dessert. Guests can also pre-order the challah to take home.
A fresh and vibrant option on the summer menu is the Summer Bulgar Salad. This colorful dish features dates, oranges, mint, and toasted almonds, topped with a chili-laden labneh ball. Paired with one of COOKED’s refreshing Summer Smoothies, it becomes a wholesome way to beat the Cape Town heat.
For those seeking hearty, flavorful dishes, the Beef Keftes Bowl is a standout. Juicy, perfectly seasoned meatballs are served with a fresh salad, pickled jalapeños, and a choice of tahini or harissa for a bold flavor experience. Another favorite is the Lamb Chops, paired with an aubergine salad and chips—a tender, aromatic offering steeped in Mediterranean tradition.
COOKED’s bagels remain a cornerstone of their menu, with The Jackie A Bagel holding a special place. This tribute to Lindy’s father features pastrami, Emmental cheese, pickles, and honey mustard—a timeless favorite that embodies the family’s love for classic flavors.
