Now that Chef Liam Tomlin’s planned Russian restaurant in Moscow is unlikely to see the light of day for some time to come, he is putting all his energy into the renovations of an historic three-storey Tintswalo-owned building across the road from his first-ever Chefs Warehouse in Heritage Square, now called Pinchos.

It is said that Chef Liam is planning to leave or close Pinchos, the branch just not as successful in attracting customers as the Chefs Warehouses at Beau Constantia, Tintswalo, and Franschhoek. Tomlin has recently walked away from his Mazza and Local establishments in the former HQ, also located in Heritage Square.

The Cape Heritage building dates back to 1862. According to Eat Out, the building will offer the following:

#  first floor:  a ‘glamorous’ Bakery, serving lunch and brunch, and the ‘ultimate’ High Tea, with a Champagne Bar.

#  second floor: a Brasserie

#  third floor : a Wine and Whisky Bar.

The Bailey will open at 91 Bree Street, Cape Town, in April.
