Top tips for this trip
Book ahead — this is one of Franschhoek’s most in-demand restaurants. Ask for outdoor seating if the weather is stable; views are outstanding. Plan a walk — the short route from the campsite is safe and pleasant. Consider a lighter lunch; the tapas menu is generous. Pair with a Wine Tram day for a seamless, car-free experience.
