What a pleasant surprise to discover this gem in Swellendam! Restaurant is in a converted house, so atmosphere is relaxed and with warm welcome from Christelle herself. The food was superb - tasty with perfect portion sizes. French inspired but with a South African twist. Service excellent. Highly recommend.

We were greeted by Christelle and looked after by April - the food and service were second to none. It was amazing quality - thoroughly recommended. Very reasonably priced for what we got - I wish I could move you to England!
One of our party left their phone and April even followed us in car to give it back - thank you

We stayed in Swellendam for a few days, searched for a restaurant that did not serve burgers or pizzas. Christelle's was recommended to us, wow! Beautiful flavoursome food, great presentation, happy atmosphere and Christelle was lovely. Her husband is a very talented chef. Our waitress deserves a 5 star complement too. She was knowledgeable, engaging and all round lovely. I would highly recommend you visit Christelle's if and when you are in Swellendam, you will not be disappointed.

Landed at this beautiful jem on the 20th of March and it was such a delight. April served us with such grace and her recommendations of the vast menu made our evening. I personally enjoyed the pork belly and wine combinations that April served us. Thank you for the great service

Such a little gem in the town of Swellendam, offering superb service from attentive waitrons (our waitron April was fantastic, as was the hostess Christelle ), a curated menu of excellent meals and a cozy ambiance. We would have returned the next day, but it was sadly our last day in Swellendam.

Chef also came out to check on our experience. We had the chef main meal specials (Yellowtail & Coq au vin) and the Escargot & French onion soup as entrées.

Reasonably priced, superb value for money.
