    A wonderful experience of beautiful decor, delicious food and I interesting flavours. My husband and I ate here for our anniversary celebration. We found the menu to be very unusual and interesting, with many things we were keen to try. The food was exciting and delicious, well cooked and presented. We really enjoyed everything we ordered and felt that the wine pairings worked very well. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. Thank you all for a great experience.

    Nicht zu empfehlen. Die Gänge hatten alle herausragende Fehlnoten. Teils geschmacklose Komponenten. Aus dee Karte kaum ersichtlich was zu essen war. Es wirkte so als ob jemand französische Worte eingestreut hatte die er nicht verstandt. Zusätzlich kaum essbar mit demgelieferten Besteck und den gewählten Tellern. Das Highlight war ein Millefetolle das wie vier geschichtete harte Knäckbrotscheiben mit Nutella kamen. Mit Dem gestellten Löffel nicht zu bearbeiten. Dazu vollkommen trocken und einfach ungenießbar. Das ganze zum lokalen high-end Preis. Nur drei offene Weine auf unangemessen niedrigen Niveau. Der Service war freundlich aber mit Kritik vollkommen überfordert. Die Köchinen schien es auch nicht zu stören, dass ihr Essen zurückging. Keine Entschuldigung, kein Nachlass, kein Kaffee. Da fehlt noch ganz viel!!!!

    Pleasant evening out - food was good - duck and steak particularly but not sure that the price tag warrants the outing

    Sehr enttäuscht! Mein Fleisch ( Venison Loin )war ungenießbar und nicht zu kauen.Das wurde mir auch bestätigt. Beide Hauptgerichte eher lauwarm.Die Zutaten des einen Gerichtes teilweise roh ( Carrot). Ich habe mein ‚Hunters Bounty’zurückgehen lassen und war schon sehr erstaunt, dass alles in vollem Umfang berechnet wurde.Schade!

    No vegetarian alternative. Desert was disappointing

    Sauvage at Le Franschhoek Hotel responded on Mon 17 Feb 25:
    Hello sir Thank you for taking the time to review your experience at Sauvage. We are so happy to see that you scored us 5 stars for service! We are really sorry to hear that the dessert did not meet your expectations. As for the vegetarian option, we do typically offer vegetarian options on our menu. However, the Valentine's Day dinner that you attended was a set menu dinner, which was confirmed with guests prior to booking. We will take your feedback on board for our next Valentine's day event. We would love to see you again to taste our vegetarian dishes, and to hopefully give you an even better dining experience.

    A lot of thought had gone into the Valentine menu. The execution was let down a little in that the Beetroot Spaghetti was tough and the beetroot crisp had gone soft. The main course of lamb loin should have been superb, but was served to everyone very rare. We sent it back for more cooking but it was still rare upon return. If the waitress had just said at outset "we serve our lamb very rare, is that OK"? It would have given guests the opportunity to specify. I don't want to put a real downer on what was a lovely valentines evening, and if I could give 5 marks for the effort put into the menu I would. This place is one of Franschhoek's hidden gems.

    We had a fantastic experience here We chose the Anchovy Toast and Veal to start both were delicious and the wine pairing really good. For main course we chose The Venison which was KODU - my husband loved this! I chose the Duck confit and it was very tasty particularly the sauce with it was beautiful - again the wine pairing was spot on! My favourite dish of the night was the Whiskey chocolate Millle Feuille - soo so good
