In a city known for its stunning views and buzzing energy, lunch at COPA Restaurant in the Pepperclub Hotel is quietly (or not so quietly) stealing the show.
Forget sad desk salads and rushed bites—this menu is built for lingering lunches, flavour-packed moments, and mid-day indulgence done right.
Whether you’re a fan of light and zesty or rich and soul-hugging, COPA’s lunch lineup delivers personality on every plate. And let’s be honest: when lunch looks this good, it deserves a long, leisurely date with your fork.
Light Bites That Don’t Hold Back
For those easing into the afternoon, the Pepper Chicken Salad is a go-to with its fresh crunch and feta kick. Prefer something plant-based? The Charred Tofu and Avocado (VG) comes with tempura aubergine and a ponzu dressing that’s just chef’s kiss.
And yes, you can absolutely start with Charred Octopus or Grilled Lemon Pepper Sardines—because COPA’s definition of “lunch” leans more toward “luxurious treat.”
Big Flavours for Big Lunch Energy
Hungry? The Copa Beef Burger and Cajun Chicken Burger are not messing around—loaded, saucy, and served with rustic fries because obviously. There’s also a Charred Steak Strip Loin for those craving a power lunch with flair, or the ZA’Atar Spiced Roast Lamb Cutlets for something a little more… dramatic (in the best way).
The Chef’s Favourite? Say No More.
Still can’t decide? Just follow the chef’s lead and order the Cape Malay Curry. It’s their favourite for a reason. Sweet and sour, rich and spiced, and served with your choice of homemade roti or pilaf rice—it’s comfort food that’s travelled first class.
You can have it with veggies, chicken, prawns, or West Coast mussels—basically, it’s choose-your-own-flavour-adventure, and every ending is happy.
Oh, You Thought We Were Done?
No good lunch ends without dessert. COPA knows this, which is why the dessert section reads like a sweet dream: Coconut & Lime Brûlée, Strawberry Pot de Crème, and a Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Delice that could probably fix your entire week. And yes, there’s ice cream. And sorbet. And no judgment if you order both.
Lunch at Pepperclub is a little fancy, totally satisfying, and never boring. It’s the kind of menu that turns one-hour breaks into two-course celebrations—and honestly, we’re here for it.
