    We were seated and then saw no wait staff for about 15 minutes before we got Sidney's attention to order drinks and food. The drinks arrived and then no service. Nobody came to ask if we wanted another drink whilst waiting for the food. Finally the food arrived. Again no service. Ricardo was serving the table next door and saw that there was no service at our table. He picked up the service and continued. He advised that Sidney was helping out inside. No apologies when we told her up front that we thought she had abandoned us. Not good enough.

    Best mussels in town. The staff is top notch. Thank you for this wonderful experience. We love sending our clients to this gem. They really made my son's birthday special. When in franschhoek don't miss the opportunity to visit this place.

    With every visit to Franschoek we eat there at least twice! The food is great and the service excellent! A heart warming little spot!
