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 are from Germany and visited the restaurant last time in 2013. We were looking forward to have a dinner plus wine again here as we really appreciated it the last time. Unfortunately due to Corona or rather the strange governmental regulations no alcohol is allowed after 1 p.m. which is a petty if you have a more course dinner. This and the fact that there were only 8 couples in the restaurant did. allow to make it a special moment for us. This is of course not a fault of the restaurant which from the food quality is still excellent. We will in any case visit La Bon Vivant next time again.

    Superbly prepared and presented food. The last “true” chef-patron in the Franschhoek valley and it shows in the excellence of the restaurant.

    We were well-served, well-fed and totally impressed with the beautiful presentation of each dish. In spite of the load shedding, the cozy ambiance with candlelight was memorable. We tried to meet personally and give our compliments to the creative Dutch chef but he had just left to take his parents to the airport. Highly recommend this restaurant.
