The Bailey is located at 91 Bree Street in the heart of the Mother City, Cape Town. Set in a historic building , the Bailey is designed in the classic tradition and inspired by some of the grand all-day cafés and restaurants of Europe.

The Bailey is a collaboration between Liam and Jan Tomlin, and the owners of Tintswalo Lodges (Lisa and Warwick Goosen, and Gaye and Ernest Corbett).

Tomlin continues his culinary magic at this new address, with Head Chef Jacques Grové taking the reins as Head Chef, assisted by Dian Botes as Sous Chef and Head Pastry Chef San-Marie Pienaar.

    Our dining experience was of a very high quality- the flavours and taste experience was excellent - the only negative - and that's just a personal peeve, was that our table was next to a column and that my back was exposed, but when the food arrived I was transported. We will definitely be back again to visit and revel in the culinary delights of the Brasserie Bailey

    Beautifully presented dishes, lovely mix of classic French cooking with unique touches, all delicious. Great wine pairings. Ambience is luxurious and comfortable, perfect for most enjoyable dinner. Loved the art on the walls. Great waiter, Mike, who was attentive, prompt and friendly without being intrusive, and could answer all our questions and help us choose our delicious dinner.
