COFI

LETS GET COFI By: Debbie Bloodmoon Beautiful people deserve a beautiful vibe. You could hear the music from the parking lot, a little preview to what the night ahead entails. Starting off slow, the pre-opening of Cofi Midrand was a night to remember. The concept of the Cofi restaurants is said to be a combination of ‘’cosmopolitan dinning and upmarket lounge that caters for a niche market’’. With the first one having opened in 2005, in Brooklyn, Pretoria, Cofi has maintained its style of class and elegance, coupled with freshly prepared food, with a sound to get you ready for painting the town red.
