Most of the best restaurants are on the wine estates - the choice is amazing. The standard is so high, mediocre restaurants don’t survive. Some only do lunch.
Our reservations this year are:
Rocca at Dieu Donne estate (dinner) our third visit. The setting is beautiful and you are allocated two tables, the first is on the terrace for sundowners and then you are taken upstairs to your table in the restaurant with same view. Reserve online.
Delaire Graff - lunch on the terrace, probably the best view/setting of all, it’s stunning. On the road between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch- very classy. Reservation by email.
Bon Vivant - dinner. Located in Franschhoek, been twice, great both times. Reserve online.
Leopard’s Leap - lunch only, very informal looking out over the vines. Their sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir at £4.50 a bottle is delicious. Reservation not necessary.
Last year we had lunch at Mont Rochelle (Richard Branson’s place). Nice meal but not as picturesque as others.
Le Lude gets great reviews but never been - close to where you are staying.
Grande Provence always looks good but never managed to eat there yet - on the wine tram route.
