We are fiercely passionate about supporting local producers and artisans, thus keeping the restaurant’s carbon footprint to a minimum, and improving self-sustainability at the restaurant. Micro gardens have been established throughout our property, which will produce a rotating supply of fresh herbs and vegetables.

With flavour, enjoyment and value at the top of his list, the new dishes offer freshness, creativity, and generosity, but without compromising on technique or elegance.

The lunch and dinner menu are designed to invite diners to customise their Monneaux Restaurant experience with a wide selection of starters and mains, as well as lighter “snack style” dishes. Guests can opt to share a few snacks and starters over casual drinks, select just a starter or main course for a quick meal, or choose a more traditional flow of starters and mains for an unhasty, exceptional lunch or dinner.

Monneaux Restaurant’s variety of beautiful seating areas lend themselves seamlessly to suit all preferences. The outdoor fountain terrace, beneath the dappled shade of a spreading pepper tree, is ideal for lazy summer lunches and sundowners, and al fresco dinners beneath twinkling fairy lights on balmy evenings. The restaurant’s stylish interior is discretely divided into three individual dining rooms, creating an intimate atmosphere.

For those choosing to linger longer and immerse themselves in the Franschhoek valley, the five star Franschhoek Country House & Villas offers luxuriously appointed rooms and suites set within the property’s exquisite country-style gardens. Complimentary offerings for hotel guests include daily breakfast, afternoon drinks, exclusive use of the hotel’s two swimming pools, air-conditioned shuttle transfers around the village and use of the Franschhoek Health Club’s facilities.

    We had an absolutely lovely time dining in the most gorgeous but intimate setting in the Monneaux wine cellar. The food was out of this world, with generous portions and lovely winter flavours, without being too heavy or overly rich. Highly recommend if you would like to have a cosy evening and top notch service!

    From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed—every staff member greeted us with genuine hospitality. Our waitress was attentive and wonderfully informative, guiding us through the evening with ease. A highlight was the personal meet-and-greet from the chef, which made the experience feel even more special. The food was simply outstanding: beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and presented with care. Combined with the cosy, elegant setting and great company, it made for a perfect evening. Monneaux offers amazing food, excellent service, and a warm ambience that captures the charm of Franschhoek. Definitely a must-try if you haven’t yet, and I’ll certainly be back.
