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.

    A fabulous evening. A lovely warm to a totally relaxing experience. The quality of the food was outstanding served efficiently but with plenty of time for you to really enjoy the flavours.

    Booked a table for a quick supper & had the most delicious meal in a pleasantly busy restaurant on a Monday evening. Will definitely be back & would definitely recommend
