A classic French dining experience. Enjoyed finding out the details of each dish and discovering what some of the French named dishes comprise of or mean before tasting each course. If you have never enjoyed French cooking this is a great start for any food enthusiast.

I am extremely disappointed by my experience.
I made a reservation months in advance to celebrate my mother’s birthday. When we arrived, we were informed (for the first time) that a special event was taking place in the main dining room. Rather than being seated in the restaurant as expected, we were told our only option was to sit alone in a small back room with no atmosphere, no music, and completely separated from the restaurant experience.
At no point prior to our arrival was I notified about this event. I was never given the opportunity to join the event or adjust my reservation accordingly. Had I been informed, I would have gladly paid to participate with the other guests.
Instead, after carefully planning this celebration months ahead of time, we were left with the choice of sitting in a small, isolated room with no ambiance or leaving altogether. We chose to leave.
For a restaurant that presents itself as a destination for special occasions, the lack of communication and consideration was unacceptable. A birthday dinner we had looked forward to for months was reduced to a complete disappointment.
All of this was communicated to the manager on-site, who did not offer us any solution, and quite frankly didn’t seem bothered at all.

We made a reservation months in advance, upon arrival, they attempted to seat us in what looked like an isolated and hidden little back-room void of any atmosphere whatsoever. Absolutely not the experience we were looking for. When we requested to be seated in the main dining area, we were told they are hosting an event there. All fine, however one would have expected that the restaurant would have informed us of this in advance, and either given us the option to join the function or reschedule the booking for another time. To then make matters worse, the attitude of the manager on site was one of utter contempt (we’re not in France here). In the end we left, glad we did. Good luck to them!

For the price (~R850pp minus alcohol), please go somewhere else. Much better gourmet places in Pretoria, Johannesburg, and especially Cape Town for the exact same price if not lower. Do not recommend.
Food was not good.
All vegetables were steamed, unseasoned, and undercooked.
Steak dish didn’t have salt, was blue although we asked for medium rare, and had 3 different sauces that didn’t work together at all. Plus some weird walnut ‘thing’ that just tasted bad.
Duck ‘confit’ was dry and overcooked. Did not taste like confit.
Risotto was undercooked with hard pieces of rice.
Mushroom consomme was good but rather one note by only using white button mushrooms. The parmesan chip added depth and some additional umami.
Macarons were not at all well made. The meringue had collapsed in the baking process making them dense and chewy. Filling lacked structure and was squeezed out of the meringue biscuits when biting. I don’t recommend they continue making macarons in house if they keep coming out like this.
Service was to be expected for a gourmet restaurant. Nothing special for what you pay.
Atmosphere was okay but nothing special.

Firstly, you are not informed that there are two entrances: one that is without steps ( wheelchairfriendly?) and another that entails two staircases. The first set of stairs did not even have a safety handrail for you to hang onto.
Secondly the ligting is so sparse I could barely see the faces of the people I was dining with. Same with the food set in front of me. I had to taste and then guess what I was eating. The potato-stack served as side dish with the fish was rock hard and once you cracked it open the oily layers inside tasted like weekold stale potato.
I decided to skip the boring dessert menu. To end the meal I asked for hot chocolate.
I do not know what type of milk was used to make it: soymilk?goatmilk?camelmilk? Whatever they used was also sour….. I asked my husband to taste and he refrained to comment, so as not to further embarrass our host. I sent it back. No-one enquired if anything was wrong with it.
The evening started disastrously and ended disastrously. Inbetween was utterly disappointing…
To top it all off, our car was nearly rammed into at the very unsafe and dark intersection of Aries and Delphinus road. The designated driver had imbibed absolutely no alcohol.
If you want to eat REALLY GOOD French food, go to Chef Danielle’s restaurant La Madeleine in Lynnwood……

One of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time, from the service, to the managers, to the kitchen, amazing atmosphere, the service from our server Lizzie was impeccable, the attention to detail, she was very informative, and friendly.
The restaurant manager and owner was very friendly and gave us a run down of the restaurants history and how it came to be.
The food was out of this world, from the amuse-bouche to the petite fours, simply amazing, amazing job from the Chefs.
And as a fellow Chef, it was truly an amazing experience.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, South African decor, french cuisine, you can’t go wrong.
I came with my family and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you for an amazing experience.

We absolutely loved the building and the layout of the restaurant so unique! One of the most romantic restaurants we’ve been to in a long time.We were allocated a table in a corner with no one around us semi private I would say. not many restaurants around that’ll still do proper linen and lay out the table with the fresh flowers!
We opted for the restaurant week menu, which was six courses and added the wine pairing. I would highly recommend wine pairing!Each of the wines were very unique and given the cost I feel it offered a lot of value. However, the food depending on the dish could be hit or miss imo.Some of the textures were a bit off for, and other dishes were a bit under seasoned for us from a flavor point of view.Having said that a lot of the items were well executed in terms of cooking. I do think ordering A la carte or the full degustation menu may be a better experience
All in all a really good experience I would say the wine and the ambience was the highlight of the evening!

Every single dish we had was amazing, the waitress was attentive, friendly and professional and the overall experience was exceptional. We were celebrating a special birthday and the restaurant certainly contributed to making it even better.

Hidden gem and unique experience. We had such a lovely time and the restaurant made it super special for our wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and paired expertly with the different wines. The service was very professional and friendly. Thank you so much for making our day special. We will be back soon. ❤️

Went for a 3 course meal. At reception we were welcomed and felt right at home. We were taken to our table and Denver came and introduced himself and he said he will be our waiter for the evening. In my opinion what a great waiter and really knowing the menu. Some waiters can go for some classes learning from him. The food was well presented and compliments to the chef
