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.

    I had the burger, very tasteful but the food was cold ! Also a bit expensive at R225/burger compared to other restaurants.

We appreciate your feedback about the pricing at R225 compared to other restaurants in the area. Your comments will be shared with our management team. We'd love to welcome you back to Rickety Bridge! Warmest regards, Rickety Bridge Team

    Magnificent setting but the expectation of the lamb curry special was a little disappointing. The flavour was spot on but there was hardly any lamb to be found. Rather charge a bit more and add a few more chunks. One of the guests in our party didn’t received her roast chicken thighs until 15 mins into our meal. All the side dishes were delicious but you fell short on the lack of lamb and the wait for the chicken.

    Dear Terry, Thank you for your feedback! We're pleased you found the magnificent setting and side dishes delicious, and that the lamb curry flavour was spot on. However, we sincerely apologise for the disappointing portion of lamb in the curry — you're right that more chunks would have better justified the price. We're also sorry one guest's roast chicken thighs arrived 15 minutes late, disrupting your meal. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our kitchen and service teams so we can improve both portion sizes and timing. We'd love to welcome you back to Rickety Bridge! Warmest regards, Rickety Bridge Team
