great food and staff "as always" never been disappointed
Very good food, ideal if you’re not in a hurry. Relaxed atmosphere. Would go again.
Many restaurants to choose in Francshoek and The French Connection is just one. Friendly staff and reasonable food and price. Would visit again.
The restaurant offers decent food, but we expected more from it. The duck was quite dry, roasted potatoes that came with it very oily and salty. Tagliatelle were fine, just a bit oily. The restaurant has a very nice internal patio.
Had Christmas lunch there after being let down by another establishment. Food was very good. Service was friendly but a little slow. Price was reasonable for a five course menu. A good time was had by all.
this is a great tourist destination.. if you're local you may want to check out the craft beers and pub next door..
A NO GO. BAD SERVICE AND VERY PRICY. Waited 50 minutes For food and 15 minutes For bill. 150 g of kingklip For R 200 ??? Never again !!!
Fish is delicious, we had to sit outside because no reservation. Price for 2 fish and one bottle of wine: +-600 Rand
i had the special "kingklip" with a herb crust and i'm still dreaming of it😻😋 attentive service and nice atmosphere for a family dinner
I ordered chicken, avo and beetroot salad for lunch and it was really not value for money. There was barely any chicken, avo let alone beetroot in it. I am very disappointed. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there.
Few dishes, but a lonnnnng wine list, with all price ranges. We picked a four paws pinotage 2011 at 325 ZAR and it was excellent.
Before you eat they serve some good bread which looks like it was made with wood fire with salt butter.
We both ate a fillet mignon and it was fantastic, the meat was well cooked and in good proportion. It was served with a three mushrooms sauce and we were amazed with the balanced taste.
As for the french fries, they were dry (Trust me this is not common in there) and awesome. the waiters are very friendly and do their job very well.
As for the dessert Well Too damn good.
If you are into exotic fruits then you should definitely go for a Fruit passion cheesecake.
If you're more into chocolate, then the Warm belgian chocolate tart is made for you, the chocolate is wonderful and the pie shell was definitely homemade, the only bémol would be the vanilla ice-cream was lacking as it was the common ice-cream that you can find in any supermarket. It shouldn't be too hard to find a real one made with actual vanilla.
Lovely food ! I had the open lasagne with wild mushrooms and it was delicious ! My husband had the Moules and loved them
A good setting in the Main Street outside or inside and good service
Cosy nice food and atmosphere.
I ate beef fillett and chips the fillet steak was the best I have ever tasted superb
Great food in beautiful Franschoek. There are rather a lot of options there for 5 star good and The French Connection did not disappoint. Many items on the menu take the best of local cuisine and quality ingredients with some French fusion.
New management, friendly folks, service was a bit messy, staff not trained that well, affordable and the food was tasty. Value for money was goof considering it is located in Franschhoek.
Many people, crowded place with professional service and yummy food 🥘
We live close to Franschhoek. whenever we have a chance to dine and wine we always go to French Connection Bistro, and my oh my, without exception, it's always the most beautiful experience. ambience, service, food, all top notch. we can definitely recommend this beautiful restaurant
Informal dining good lunch menu right in the centre of town. Good prices and good service. The staff are helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Good location for the souvenir shops and diamond shop.
