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.

    I cannot speak highly enough of our experience at Le Bon Vivant. They are, in my opinion, the epitome of fine dining. Our waitress was attentive without being "in your face" We cannot wait for our next trip to Franschoek - Le Bon Vivant will be our first stop.

    We had the surprise chefs tasting menu and wine pairing and wow - what an amazing meal! The quality of the food and wine was first class, and excellent value for money! Highly recommend! The service was perfect too - very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning next time we’re in Franschhoek.
