Along with formal training in Europe, Chef Nicolene Barrow worked at the world-famous Le Gavroche Restaurant in London before setting-up Orangerie at Le Lude. Here classical French cuisine is presented with a contemporary twist; the purist, disciplined approach of the European masters combined with a hint of individual, modern creativity where what is on the plate is presented looking as good as it tastes.

A seasonal menu offers the finest, freshest ingredients found in the forests, meadows, mountains and seas of the Cape, resulting in a selection of dishes offered in an environment conducive to making permanent Franschhoek memories.

    Really interesting cellar tour by the winemaker who explained everything so well. The 3 MCCs were beautiful, and the vegetarian canapés were delicious. Takes a double stop on the wine bus but so worth it. Thoroughly recommend. Nigel UK

    With no advertising, Le Lude is now so busy, but so well deserved. Chef Nicolene produces superb dishes though not for small stomachs. The front of house is also excellent so what’s not to enjoy.

    The best dining experience in Cape Town. In addition to the beautiful and delicious food, and the attentive service, there was a warm hospitality that made us feel like welcomed guests.
