French Connection - Franschhoek

It had been a while since I last visited The French Connection Bistro, and I'm glad to say I returned. It was great to see so many international guests there. The food offered a nice quality and variety. However, I think the waitstaff could enhance their service and communication skills. Overall, I look forward to returning soon.

Most of the restaurants I've visited that feature paper tablecloths tend to serve outstanding food, and this one certainly upheld that reputation. We enjoyed a truly delicious dinner here. I was particularly fond of the kudu stroganoff, which was full of flavor and wonderfully tender. The seared tuna special was also delightful, showcasing high-quality tuna. The atmosphere was relaxed and lively, with a charming rustic vibe.

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!

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.
