Apprentice Restaurant, situated in George, Western Cape, is the natural progression from the François Ferreira Academy. Our restaurant serves its customers delicious meals in an exquisite formal setting, where customers will get a feel of a genuine fine-dining experience. Our aspiring chefs in training at our state-of-the-art Academy, need a soft landing in the industry where they will prepare to go into the world and share a kitchen with another chef. At Apprentice, the chefs in training will be working as part of a professional team, adding their talent to the mix, and at the same time learning from the masters in the kitchen.

    We were very disappointed - there was no bottle opener to start with...nobody informed us and just disappeared..we had to ask what the problem was? It was a set menu with mash as part of the choice of 2 main dishes...just to informed us that it was not available any more. The booking was made a week ago- planning?? In the end we got our mash by refusing the risotto as substitute. The food was not bad, but pkrtions small for the amount you have to pay. We will not visit Apprentice again, unless things improve rapidly. Such a pity considering Francois Ferreira, well-known chef, started it.

    My husband had the Pensioners Special and found it excellent. As I don’t eat pork, I chose a light meal of chicken strips, which was great. It would be lovely if the Pensioners Special included more options of fish, chicken or ostrich for those of us who don’t eat mutton, beef, or pork. All in all, we enjoyed a delightful meal.
