Take a seat overlooking the Rickety Bridge vineyards. Sip a glassful of crisp estate wine and enjoy a delicious lunch while drinking in the splendour of the magnificent surroundings. Every creation from our team of talented chefs is given extra zest by the striking beauty of the setting and stunning views of the Franschhoek mountains.

Our menus lean into the seasons, wholeheartedly embracing our Franschhoek Valley surrounds. Expect to indulge in traditional home baked breads and local cheeses, the freshest eggs, vegetables and fruits from neighbours and always – the best quality meat and fish we can source. We serve a menu of bistro-style classics with subtle nods to our diverse South African culinary heritage.

The restaurant spills out from a cosy thatched area onto shaded decks with views over the vineyards and mountains.

    Disappointed to arrive and discover the menu had completely changed from the one on your website. The menu on the day was restricted to very few options.

    What a wonderful setting and experience. The service was extraordinary and the food, wine and ambience superb. We are looking forward to returning very soon. The most friendly and helpful staff by far. Everyone was so helpful and charming to talk to.

    Very noisy. Service was super slow and food was cold. Wine tasting explanation was absurd, and difficult to understand the waitress Azole. Although there are many waiters, they were inefficient and unattentive. Bill took ages to arrive after requesting it. All in all, very disappointing.

    Wonderful experience but our deposit via Dineplan was not taken off the bill and we forgot to check at the time. No response from the restaurant via email.

I’ve followed up with our team and confirmed that your deposit was unfortunately not deducted from the bill on the day. A refund has since been processed and should reflect in your account within 24 hours. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back to Rickety Bridge again soon. Warm regards, The Rickety Bridge Team
