Reviewed 12 August 2018 via mobile

This restaurant recently opened in Franschoek and will prove to be as successful as his predecessor. The room has an open feel allowing lots of light to come in. Friendly staff present the food and explain the dishes in a very approachable way. We had the Winter Special menu and it was excellent! The wine pairing matched the food very well. I would like to return for the full tasting menu. But then sleeping over is perhaps very wise. There are several options in the immediate area but L’Quatier Francaise is on the same spot!

A truly wonderful and exciting meal. The room was nicely decorated, well enough lit for us to read menus and see the food. Tables far enough apart for privacy. Staff knowledgable and friendly. The food however was the star of the show as it should be. We had the 5 course tasting menu, but each had a different version so tasted the whole menu between us. Everything was delicious, with innovative flavours and beautifully thoughtfully presented.
Highlights were the poached oyster, tuna tartare, springbok loin, and porchini veloute. The accompanying wine flight was also excellent.
One of the best restaurant meals in the last few years.

Excellent experience. Very modern design - menue was simply outstanding. Excellent wine service - ask for the recommendations - if you are lucky, they offer you some "old" wines. Can definitely recommend.

From the moment we arrived, we were spoilt with brilliant service and impeccable attention to detail. Every dish was phenomenal. The men chose the full menu (12 courses) whilst the women wisely chose the reduced menu (7 courses). I would recommend that you do not have lunch before this outing as you need to be hungry. I won’t spoil the surprises they have planned for you. This is not a visit to a restaurant but an event. Make sure you don’t miss it!
