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.

    What a wonderful location with amazing estate wines. And of course a fabulous chef , classic dishes prepared with love . Well worth a detour and how lucky you are if you’re staying in Franschhoek with it on your doorstep. I will definitely be going back

    The food is just to die for! We were lucky to be there now a second time within a short period of time but it was again so yummy! The owners are hands on and just passionate about what they are doing. Thank you again…
