Rated one of the leading restaurants in the Franschhoek Valley, already considered one of South Africa’s culinary hot spots, our Franschhoek Kitchen’s standards reflect an ethos based on the finest international cuisine – but our hearts are always drawn to the simplicity and pureness of the ingredients we use. This honest approach sees our guests enjoying authentic homemade dishes inspired by the country we live in and the farm we call ‘home’.

Seasonality heavily influences our cuisine in the same way it influences the vineyards, ourselves and everything else on the estate, which is emphasised even more by the fact that much of our fruit and vegetables are home-grown with the utmost care on the Holden Manz Wine Estate, arriving on your plate fresh, healthy and filled with the vibrance of the Franschhoek Valley.

Enjoy our range of award winning Holden Manz wines paired or on their own as you soak up the atmosphere inside the beautiful restaurant or outside on the veranda and in-and-amongst the vineyards it overlooks.

    I'm so happy with my experience. It was perfect in every way from the moment I got out of my car.

    A couple of small glitches with food which were corrected. Beautiful spot, small intimate restaurant with lovely views. Had a stunning 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. Will come again

    Overall, probably the best meal we've had during our 7-weeks visit to SA. Top notch!

    Excellent meal but disappointing crayfish as a main as besides being expensive it was really only a starter portion size, otherwise excellent and we will return in the future
