We were there for the Apr. 29 food & wine pairing dinner, and it was great. Absolutely great food and good wine for a very decent price. Nice decor and friendly staff. Not within walking distance from Franschhoek, especially at night (dark road).

- And for a very good reason. This is a faultless restaurant with a lovely ambiance & a superb setting. What more could one ask for. The food is inspired and creative with all the flavours and textures one would hope for, but rarely experience. The new winter menu (as of April 2013) is excellent. We really enjoyed the osso...

We met up with some friends, and met many new friends, when we went to a midday meal and concert at Cafe Bon Bon. It was a gorgeous Sunday, and we were greeted with tasty bubbly. We had plenty of time to socialize and sip while outside. Once inside, a great meal was had by all. It was 3 courses,... More

We were at a family wedding on the 6th April 2013, setting was wonderful, staff and service was excellent, could not have been better, the venison and filet steak was cooked to perfection. Had a great evening thank you all. Would highly recommend that you visit this beautiful restaurant.

I am not sure which is more special - to sit outside on a glorious sunny day enjoying the vineyards, mountain views and pond, and being visited... More
