Known for the glamorous atmosphere and delectable menu by the Executive Chef Simon Kemp, the time came for a complete soft refurbishment of Liberty’s Restaurant, along with a new menu and name. May we please introduce Bistro31!
Mardré Meyer, Creative Director, and Chantelle Eksteen, Project Designer of SOURCE Interior Brand Architecture, said: “In keeping with the brand, the broader scheme is built on key themes around the integration of greenery and natural elements; an increased sense of residential-feel cozy seating zones and bold organic shapes to juxtapose the strong rectilinear architecture. Muted greens, natural terracottas and vibrant ochres all resonate with the broader ‘natural’ focus. Set in a former clothing factory in the heart of what used to be Cape Town’s thriving textile industry, tactile fabric-based artworks pay homage to the meticulous handwork of local crafters”.
When asked about the approach to the menu creation and ingredient selection, Executive Chef Simon Kemp said: “I find inspiration from travels abroad which I try to do annually. I use this as an opportunity to experience as many local and original cuisines as possible. I combine these experiences with flavours and ingredients I enjoy working with and then create dishes which I would enjoy cooking and eating. Finally, I look at the clientele of the hotel and try to fit dishes in that will be popular, diverse, varied, exciting yet accessible to a wide array of palates and diners”.
