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 Executive Chef Asher Abramowits assisted by Mitchell Du Plessis and Ruben Brown as Head Chefs and San-Marie Pienaar as Head Pastry Chef

    Definitely not on the same level as other chefs warehouse restaurants. Bit disappointing.

    The food was truly outstanding. We had a selection of sharing tapas dishes. Highlights were the pulled beef, the steamed veggies, and the calamari. Presentation, the mix of flavours, and the whole experience was great. Highly recommended.

    It was okay. None of the dishes we had blew me away or have really stayed with me as remarkable in terms of flavour, texture or presentation. I was expecting more from this pioneer of fancy small plates in Cape Town. Think they're riding on having a good name, but don't live up to it anymore.
