Cheyne's Restaurant

Description

Psst! The trendy city centre has a new dining phenomenon in a kitchen style restaurant tucked away right next to the newly opened Brewer’s & Union in Bree Street. Owner chef Cheyne Morrisby is more than just a fresh new kid on the block – he has cooked for mega stars like Robbie Williams, Eric Clapton and Kylie Minogue. We asked Cheyne to tell us what he’s up to.

To all my friends out there, I have decided to open my own place that will be suitably named Cheyne's. The space that has been chosen will be a showcase of what I have done and experienced over the last decade. Situated in the most up and coming part of central Cape Town, Cheyne's aims to be nothing more than what I am. I will offer breakfast, bistro lunches and at night the space becomes a private dining room.

The space will be very interactive from a dining point of view. The kitchen will be part of the dining room, where guests will have a full view of what is being prepared to even assisting when help is needed. I aim to get the guest involved with what they are ordering.

The space will take a maximum of 18 people seated at the dining room table or if you prefer to take a seat at the chefs table, there will be 5 seats at the bar / pass. From there you will be involved with what is happening in the kitchen. You might even be asked to make a quick sauce or even dice a few onions! It’s going to be your space as much as mine!

In addition to this Cheyne's will be heavily involved in launches, from new products entering the market to putting the spotlight on some of Cape Town small producers. We need to focus on these people as they are often pushed away by our big commercial giants. I will also be involved in promo's of Premium branded spirits. So there’s the promise of lots of tastings, food pairings and demonstrations. There will also be guest chef evenings - I will not mention names but there are a few hot ones!

And that’s not all. Cheyne has other nifty tricks up those chef’s sleeves…
