    Excellent food and super friendly service. Much better than expected for the price. We had the 4 course surprise meal including matching wines. Really superb wine pairing! This place deserves a Michelin star !

    A Culinary Masterpiece! Our experience at Le Bon Vivant Restaurant in Franschhoek was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with friendly smiles and attentive service, setting the stage for a delightful fine dining experience. The relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant, with seating both inside and on the terrace, provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. Opting for the terrace seating, we were treated to a candlelit ambiance that was truly heavenly, adding to the charm of the evening. The menu offered a great variety of options, including two and three-course meals, with or without wine pairing. While we chose to forgo the wine pairing, we were impressed by the extensive selection available, ensuring that even those who opt out still have a fantastic wine experience. The highlight of our evening, however, was undoubtedly the fine dining food experience. Each dish was expertly prepared and presented, showcasing the chef's culinary talents and attention to detail. It was our second visit to this restaurant, and once again, they exceeded our expectations. Hats off to the chef and the staff of Le Bon Vivant Restaurant for consistently delivering an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning guest, this quaint restaurant never disappoints, and we can't wait to return again soon.
