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.

Rickety Bridge is an enchanting Franschhoek wine estate that earns its place in the Cape's cuisine capital. Franschhoek is home to some of the best restaurants in South Africa. The Restaurant in the Vines has made way for Paulina's, named in honour of the original owner of the property in 1797, Paulina de Villiers. The restaurant spills out from a cosy thatched area onto shaded decks with views over the vineyards and mountains.

    Wonderful experience but our deposit via Dineplan was not taken off the bill and we forgot to check at the time. No response from the restaurant via email.

    I don't understand why I paid more like R814 on top of the R406 I paid as a deposit. Please just clarify that for me

    Good afternoon Sthembiso, Thank you for visiting us at Paulina’s Restaurant and for taking the time to get in touch. A deposit of R100 per person was paid in advance to secure your group booking, which was then deducted from the final bill on the day. The remaining balance was settled during your visit. A copy of the full invoice has been sent to you directly for your records. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you and the Izethembiso Travel and Tours team back to Rickety Bridge again soon. Warm regards, The Rickety Bridge Team

    We had the burger, that we were told was served medium, but when it arrived was rather dry and lifeless. Side of chips was soggy
