For a small, friendly, but exquisite venue, then this is the place to visit. Amazing views over the valley and vineyards. The staff are so nice, pleasant and helpful. The food was outstanding and we tried Springbok for the first time which was heaven. The chef certainly knows how to please his clients with outstanding presentation and flavours. Well done.... More

The views as with many in the area are amazing although to appreciate them you need to go for lunch on a nice day and sit outside. From inside, at night, you can't really appreciate it. The food is quite good but over priced. We have had better food in the area at lower prices. The pianist is a novelty... More

Although the service was fabulous and the pianist superb, the food was overpriced and disappointing. My wife is a light eater and we requested her to be charged for only two courses being starter and dessert. We both started with the asparagus. We were presented with 3 tiny spears split length ways in to 6 pieces with a nondescript sauce... More

This is in a stunning spot, high above Franschhoek valley, with great views for pre-dinner drinks on the terrace, whilst you peruse the menu of delightful food on offer. Restaurant is elegant, rather than pretentious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Pianist adds atmosphere to the dining experience. The main courses are very good - nicely presented and full...

Alfio at the piano saved the evening. The pickup service is cinvenient. The view over Franschhoek is stunning. The food was delicious. The wine was surprisingly priced at 3 times the price in their wine tasting outlet (The Country Kitchen). The service was awkwardly chilly though professional. Alfio was the one person bringing life into the restaurant and thus saving... More

The night we dioned there we opted for the chef's tasting menu which comprised a number of dishes all of which seemed to be served with a side of dessert. Each course was overwhelmed by very sweet additions such as rhubarb jelly and brioche that tasted like french toast drowned in syrup. These innovations were technically accomplished and tasted fine... More

This featuring is set in lovely Frenchoek, in the South African wine country. Our first few dinner choices were booked, and our hotel staff recommended this little gem. I would strongly encourage anyone who enjoys eating to find their way to Mange Tout and order the tasting menu. The food choices were varied, but all were extremely well done. Our... More

Truly first class place; I've eaten in some great restaurants and this was amongst the best. Faultless food and great service - my friend's dessert was sweet cannelloni with liquorice and a lemon jelly filling; I had a selection of cheese biscuits and bread that outfaced me. Friendly attentive service and a beautiful dining room - and all for £75... More

Wonderful views, superb food and attentive staff this dinner date was a gift from a friend through Gift Out The Box (giftoutthebox.com) in South Africa. We chose this restaurant as it afforded us anopportunity to get out of town for the weekend. It was well worth the trip.
