Chefs Warehouse to Remain Open<\/h4>\n

Chefs Warehouse at MAISON is an iconic restaurant in Franschhoek known for its exceptional cuisine and warm atmosphere. Since opening in late 2017, the sophisticated yet relaxed country restaurant has become a cherished Cape Winelands culinary destination.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, Liam Tomlin and David Schneider, the owners of Chefs Warehouse at MAISON made the difficult decision to close the restaurant permanently, prompting an outpouring of support from its devoted patrons who were determined to save this beloved Cape culinary institution. The news caught the attention of Seb and Jessie, long-time fans of the estate who felt the need to preserve its legacy and its people.
