Set in a converted house in central Franschhoek, the atmosphere at Le Bon Vivant is homely and relaxed, while reminiscent of contemporary French restaurants. The glass wall allows you to see Pierre Hendriks and his team at work. Tables are also available in the shaded garden next to the restaurant for lunch and dinner on warm summer evenings.

    We eat here every timer we visit Franschhoek. It always delights! the food and the presentations are exceptional. Paul and Silvia run a very tight ship. Don't miss it, but a reservation is best.

    If Michelin ever had the good fortune to review Le Bon Vivant, they would surely conclude that three stars are not high enough praise for the uniquely brilliant culinary creative flair that awaits its very fortunate guests.
