Highly acclaimed kitchen king, Liam Tomlin's restaurant, Chefs
Warehouse, at Heritage Square on Bree Street in the heart of Cape Town’s foodie
mecca (formerly home to Caveau), has recently invited Brothers Wines to grace
their illustrious wine list.
Irish-born chef and founder of the award-winning Banc Restaurant in Sydney, Australia, Liam has always had a knack for preparing extraordinary fare, and since moving to the Mother City has also been very involved in chef training. However with the opening of his new restaurant he returns to more focused cooking, using techniques that first won him prestige and plenty of accolades back in Australia.
This
small, relaxed restaurant is situated in a beautiful historical building (built
in the 1780′s) is also home to the oldest surviving grape vine in the Southern
Hemisphere, estimated to have been planted by the French Huguenots in 1770.
The kitchen serves up a selection of mainly tapas dishes which
change daily. These include options such as Rillette of Duck or Pork,
Potted Shrimp or Crab, Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls and Duck Confit with Lentil
Du Puy, Roasted Bone Marrow, Saffron Risotto, Squid Ink Calamari, Barbeque Pork
Pancakes, Chicken Liver Parfait with Grape Chutney, BBQ Pork Ramen Soup,
Pumpkin Soup with Pumpkin Fritters & Parmesan, Crayfish Tails amongst
others. The desserts include the likes of Warm Chocolate Fondant with Chocolate
Sorbet, Baileys Coffee Parfait with Praline & Sabayon, Lemon Posset and
Raspberries, Gorgonzola with Black Mission Figs and Caramelised Ginger.
The restaurant, a favourite amongst the Cape Peninsula’s
unpretentiously knowledgeable foodie and wine world, marries its food offering
with a careful selection of artisan beers, alcoholic ginger beer, locally made
brandy and a hand-picked selection of top quality wines (now including Brothers Chardonnay Reserve).
Long-time fans of Liam’s prowess can experience from Chefs
Warehouse the level of culinary quality that he’s famous for, whilst lingering
in a modern, vibrant atmosphere, eating delectable food and socialising with
good friends over a bottle or two of Brothers,
whilst watching the man himself in action in the kitchen.
