Conrad Gallagher, celebrity chef and youngest chef ever to win two Michelin stars, has had his restaurant Geisha Wok and Noodle Bar in the Cape Royale Luxury Hotel in Green Point provisionally liquidated. Affected by the liquidation too is the collection of Sundance coffee shops, which also belongs to Gallagher – the Sea Point and Buitengracht Street branches in Cape Town are definitely closed.
Gallagher owes the hotel rental, as well as MacBrothers for equipment. In addition, his staff walked out during a meal, as they had not been paid for two months.
In addition to his restaurant in Cape Town, and his coffee shops, Gallagher was a consultant to the Atlantic restaurant in the Table Bay Hotel, and was a consultant to the Sun International Hotels and the Trump Group.
Gallagher has fled to his home country Ireland, reports the Cape Times, but Gallagher claims that he will return to Cape Town. It is reported that Gallagher initially left Ireland with a trail of debt.

I love the Sundance Coffee Shops. It’s my home away from home.
The Sundance coffee shops are no more.
I only heard a few days ago that Conrad Gallagher also caused the Epicurean Food Emporium, which was to open in The Rockwell in De Waterkant at the beginning of this year, to not happen, in that he made promises which he could not keep. Bouillabaisse and Crepe Suzette are the unfortunate victims of this.
Conrad the “CON”…should permanently wear a bib around his neck because everytime he opens his mouth all that smelly brown stuff comes out!!!!He belongs back in Jail…Ireland is not far away enough… we the creditors will get our pound of flesh!!
