CHEFS WAREHOUSE BY LIAM TOMLIN
 

“Real food. Real people.

Everything we do at Chefs Warehouse revolves around these two core assumptions.” Liam Tomlin

Liam Tomlin is the internationally renowned chef and restauranteur behind the Chefs Warehouse group of seven restaurants and a drinks lounge in and around Cape Town.

The group’s first-born, Chefs Warehouse and Canteen, opened on Cape Town’s Bree Street in 2014. It was ground zero for the pioneering concept of Tapas for Two, which brought global tapas to Cape Town.

On the heels of its success, Tomlin expanded in concept and location, always applying the same degree of excellence and care, both in product and people.

Suspended over Constantia’s sloping vineyards, CHEFS WAREHOUSE AT BEAU CONSTANTIA is jointly owned by Liam and acclaimed chef Ivor Jones, who has a passion for the cuisines of Southeast Asia and is known for some of South Africa’s most exciting food.

Here, fresh,bold flavours are exquisitely presented tapas-style in this informally chic modern space.

THALI is a modern Indian restaurant just off Cape Town’s vibey Kloof Street, inspired by the depth and breadth of flavours in Indian regional cooking. Far from your normal curry joint, meals are composed of lots of small dishes and served in three generous courses, in a warm and mellow indoor-outdoor space pervaded by the colours and aromas of toasted spices.

CHEFS WAREHOUSE AT MAISON brings big flavour and real-deal farm-to-table eating to the Franschhoek Valley, with a relaxed wine valley style. A co-venture between Liam and chef David Schneider, who is bullish on producing everything in-house, Maison’s four-course Tapas for Two menu playfully explores themes of garden, sea, street and family.

 

THE BAILEY is a triple-storey Liam Tomlin venture in a Bree Street heritage building, with three distinct concepts and chef Asher Abramowitz at the helm.

On the ground floor, CHEFS WAREHOUSE AT THE BAILEY reprises the original Chefs Warehouse and Canteen (which was directly across the street), with a globe-trotting à la carte menu of small plates. Crunchy salt and pepper squid, blooming onion and beef tataki are just a few of a large selection of old favourites and new creations, served in a contemporary classic space.

THE BRASSERIE AT THE BAILEY, on the first floor, is where classic European continental elegance meets Cape Town, where you can order French onion soup and steak with pommes frites, experience Chateaubriand expertly carved tableside or choose from many French-inspired contemporary dishes, made from Cape Town’s local bounty.

On the top floor, THE OLD BAILEY LOUNGE BAR has the cool elegant vibe of a big city members-only club but is sleek and swanky like a speakeasy, rather than stuffy. With over 370 varieties representing nine countries, whiskey is the star here, but wine and expertly made cocktails – whether signatures or classics -- are just as quaffable A great menu of bar snacks, small plates and not-so-small plates means you don't need to go elsewhere for dinner.

THE RED ROOM is a smart, sophisticated pan-Asian underground restaurant, located at the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel. Inspired by the melting pot that is Hong Kong, the menu features true-to-their-origin dishes from China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia, in the form of small plates and dim sum, as well as more generous dishes from the Robata Grill, and even the iconic Peking Duck.

Dramatically perched just above the Atlantic coastline, CHEFS WAREHOUSE AT TINTSWALO is the ultimate dreamy indoor-outdoor location with the ultimate Tapas for Two menu to match. Dishes are inspired by the best of local small producers, pulling from choice seasonal ingredients, whether they be white clams, artichokes or smoked Stanford cheese.
