Another great meal in Franschhoek, one can see what this is viewed as one of the great foodie places on the Cape. We arrived without a reservation but the wonderful front of house managed to find us a table, the restaurant was truly full almost...from the moment we sat down, and every time we walked by it was busy night and day, so a popular spot. We had a starter of cheese which in hindsight was the weakest part, but that was a choice down to us. We then had the fillet of beef with pepper sauce, it was amazing, perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. My partner had a pear tartin for dessert but the steak had finished me off. The food, ambiance and service was all very good and with a good bottle of wine the bill was 1700 Rand, so very good value.More

We were visiting Franschoek for the evening and looking for a place to enjoy a casual meal when we came across The French Connection. Lovely sidewalk setting on a beautiful summer evening. The staff were friendly and attentive. Our drinks order arrived promptly and our...meal not long after. Food and presentation was excellent. Will definitely be back when next in the areaMore

This restaurant apparently known to have a great reputation. The waitresses were great and friendly. However the food and the management were just poor. I will not recommend it to any of my friend or family. This is what I will call pub food.More

A wonderful meal to finish our South African journey. We shared a bottle of pinotage and a starter of mussels in a delicious cream sauce. This was followed by a fillet and steak special, done perfectly. Our dessert was a shared pear tarte tatin with...homemade vanilla ice cream. The ambience and service was perfect. The waitstaff were all wearing Springbok shirts to support their South African team in the Rugby World Cup and this added a festive air to the evening. A celebration of our adventure and a World Cup win for South Africa......a win for all!More

We had a lovely dinner here and were taken care of in a most professional way. Tuna and tempura prawns were delicious. Do book in advance

Nice restaurant in Franschhoek. Relatively casual. Good food but took a long time to receive it. Nothing super extraordinary but overall solid.

centrally located cosy restaurant on the main street in Franschhoek. Typical French cuisine . Food is excellent and so is the wine list.

We went for a light and quick breakfast on Sunday. Restaurant was probably 30% full - if that. Service was mediocre and food took literally 45 minutes to arrive (a toasted sandwich and a scone so not exactly tricky…..). Food was cold and not very...good. Completely overpriced too - especially for what you get. AvoidMore

Unbelievable food and atmosphere. The sesame tuna steak special was just melt in the mouth delicious and my dad's beef stroganoff was sublime. Felecia our waitress was so attentive and lovely. The whole staff are lovely and welcoming and it's a gem!!!

I have, at my grand age eaten many steaks around the world and have had the good, the bad and the very bad. The filet mignon I had tonight at the French Connection was, I believe the best I have ever tasted. Superbly prepared and...grilled and just melted. Outstanding value, great service and a marvelous experience. Bravo.More

Our farewell to South Africa dinner, and very happy with our choice. Just lovely food, excellent wine list with reasonable prices, super staff. Location excellent too.

I figured with being in Franschhoek, with its centuries of French heritage one has to dine in a French restaurant. We’ll I’m glad I did. The food and ambiance was great. I enjoyed the french bread basket, charcuterie board, filet mignon au poivre, and creme...brulee.More
