Helpful staff, lovely location and the most tasteful delicious food. It was an absolute pleasure to eat here. A hidden gem. I highly recommend the cheesecake pudding, which melted in the mouth.

What an amazing experience we had at Monneaux Restaurant! The food was delicious, the wine just perfectly pairing with. And the cherry on the top of the cake, the staff was so kind and professional. We can definitely recommend it to those who want to...appreciate a lovely evening at Franschhoek.More

A truly lovely evening, we first went to Monneaux 24 years ago but hadn’t been to South Africa for a number of years so were hoping it would still be good. It surpassed our expectations; the food was delicious and the staff delightful. My son...is gluten and dairy intolerant and the chef made him something delicious at no extra charge. Every dish we had was beautifully presented and utterly scrumptious. It was the best meal we have had since arriving in South Africa last week. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Monneaux, we will be back.More

We ate at Monneaux Restaurant twice during our stay at Franschhoeck Country House & Villas. It was very, very quiet as we were visiting during South Africa’s winter season. However, even though we were virtually the only ones dining, the service was quite good, and...servers were very polite. The second night was a chilly, rainy night and they kept the fireplace by us going which was lovely. The food was quite good overall. We both had steaks the first night, and they were fine, not great. The sides and the breads were delicious though. The second night my husband had salmon and said it was very good. I had the French onion soup which I enjoyed. The ambiance is lovely and we were able to relax over a good bottle of South African wine.More

Incredibly accommodating to our slightly off-piste meal request, this was a lovely placed to dine. Great wine selection, superb service and just all round a pleasant night

We had two dinners at Monneaux. First night we both ordered bokkum salad as a starter. They were huge. One would have been enough for two people. There was a problem with one of the main courses but this sorted out very quickly. Our main...gripe was that it took 30 minutes from the end of the starter to main course arriving. The waiter did apologise for the wait. The next night didn’t have a starter and went to main course. Both were very good and quick.More

A lovely country house with a fine dining restaurant that sadly was totally lacking in warmth. We dined in a room where tables were so highly separated that we could have been in a morgue. The cooking itself was excellent and dishes were well presented...but the service was professional rather than genuinely welcoming and the whole experience rather soulless.More

Excellent food and service. However, remember to leave a gratuity, even though a gratuity is supposed to be voluntary , as the enthusiastic host will embarrass you in front of all the other diners. Not a pleasant experience at what was a lovely evening!

We were staying at the hotel and ate twice here. Lovely menu and helpful and friendly staff. Service can be a little slow, so, slow down and enjoy the place and drink some more wine! Thoroughly recommend.

Very good service and food all around. Extremely convenient (as in, on the property) if you’re staying at the hotel (which we’d also recommend!). Will return next time we’re in Franschhoek!
