    A regular when visiting Franschoek and on the whole a lovely evening - however I was horrified to see a ladies sized 180g fillet being charged at R320 - this is excessive and definitely not worth it. Veal schnitzel was delicious and well portioned.

    Thanks for your review and your ongoing support, we appreciate it. Beef Fillet prices are volatile and we are led by the market availability. If there is a shortage the price goes up, unfortunately. The prices have come down already and we are expecting a further drop very soon as demand weakens. We adjust the price accordingly. We hope to see you back again soon. Regards Matthew (Owner)
