Chefs Warehouse at The Bailey

Liam Tomlin is a renowned South African chef and restaurateur who has gained national and international recognition for his innovative and creative approach to food. He founded and owned Chefs Warehouse, a popular restaurant concept with several locations throughout Cape Town and the Winelands.

Chefs Warehouse Bree Street is one of Tomlin’s flagship restaurants, first opened in 2014 in the trendy Bree Street area of Cape Town. The restaurant quickly gained a reputation for its tapas-style dishes, designed for sharing and showcasing local, seasonal ingredients in fun and innovative ways.

Due to the overwhelming demand from patrons, Liam Tomlin has decided to reopen Chefs Warehouse at The Bailey, a prime location in the heart of Cape Town’s city centre.

Chefs Warehouse at The Bailey is expected to open its doors in early March (2023), utilising the ground floor space currently occupied by The Bailey Bistro.

Upstairs at The Bailey, The Brasserie will continue offering its favoured, classic French-inspired cuisine and The Old Bailey Lounge Bar on the top level.

Fans of the original Chefs Warehouse concept may expect some old favourites such as Salt & pepper squid with chilli, pineapple and caramelised ginger; Vietnamese rice paper rolls; and a signature Risotto dish. It will also feature some exciting new dishes conceptualised by Tomlin and Executive Chef of The Bailey, Asher Abramowitz.

Open all day from 12:00 to 21:00, the á la carte menu invites diners to order individual plates from the tapas menu of vegetarian, vegan and meat dishes, as well as fish dishes prepared at the open seafood bar.
