Meet Per Menko, the founder of Rick’s Café Américain.

We pulled this one from the archives. Taken at the V&A Hotel, this photo captures Per in one of his favourite cars from back in the day.

Why are we sharing it? Because every iconic Cape Town institution has a story, and behind Rick’s is a man with plenty of them.

From the early days to the Rick’s you know today, Per has always brought his unique sense of style, adventure, and hospitality to everything he does.

Stick around as we share a few fun facts, throwback moments, and stories about one of the coolest guy’s behind Cape Town’s restaurant scene. ✨
