    Been in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and now South Africa. This is the best meal we’ve had by far. Perfection.

    I always love this restaurant. They are all so friendly and accommodating. I generally go for the mussels but can also recommend the duck. French Connection is definitely one of my favourite spots!
