French Connection - Franschhoek

I had a fantastic experience! The weather was ideal for a winter day, and the food was outstanding. The service was also top-notch. We couldn't find anything to complain about. Overall, it was an amazing experience for a Sunday lunch!

The (affordable) French Connection is a lovely bistro style restaurant with welcoming atmosphere we were four and each ordered something different. It all came to the table effortlessly. And the wine only added to the experience. It was one of those meals you remember for a lifetime ... thank you.

A lovely lunchtime experience in a delightful atmosphere. Small (and large) touches add to the ambience and help the restaurant live up to its name. The main room, the various nooks and crannies, and the veranda mean one can choose the setting that suits the mood.

Last evening showing a Canadian family member the beauty of our Peninsula, we chanced upon The French Connection and were fortunate to be given a table at short notice. What an amazing restaurant! I was blown away from the delightfully refreshing Pimms and ginger ale to every sumptuous dish that was placed before us. It was impossible to choose 'dish of the day '. Each plate (generous portions) was a beautifully presented feast of aroma and explosion of flavour. The professional and friendly staff add greatly to the general relaxed ambience. In short. Calamari tubes could never taste the same again Will definitely return.

We ate here on consecutive evenings as it was pretty much the only place open after bad s torm damage. I'm so glad they had a generator. Staff were lovely, atmosphere surprisingly upbeat and the food very good. The menu is fairly meat heavy (no surprise given the name) but there are fish, vegetarian and vegan options too. Tempura prawns were especially good as was the fish special.
