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.

Its the perfect excuse to gather your favourite people, settle in for a long lunch, and toast to those lazy summer Saturdays.

    Our waitress was amazing and super friendly. The ambiance and view were fantastic. My burrata tomato was sadly drowned in pesto and tomatoes were big junks. I didn’t like it. The rest of the food was nice but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall pleasant experience.

    Service was incredibly bad. The staff member struggled massively to understand us and I’m from SA so not sure why. Food was scrumptious though

    We much more liked this place with the former owner. Quality of all has degraded compared by our last visit last year. Also the offered wines got worse. Will not visit that place any more.
