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 received a very warm welcome from Lizette, whose bubbly personality made us feel immediately at home. The food was excellent — my mother, who has been a chef for almost 40 years, also commented on how outstanding it was. Benji, our waiter, provided exceptional service and explained everything very well; she is clearly very knowledgeable about the menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend this establishment. A definite 10/10.

    A lovely experience with great food, excellent service and at a reasonable price. If I have to find criticism, it would be that the dining chair was uncomfortable making it difficult to relax and linger after our meal. I note that seating at other tables was different - so perhaps we were just unlucky. Thanks for a great dinner.

    My favourite dish was a vegetarian raviolo which encapsulated the heritage flavours it was meant to represent wonderfully.
