LE COIN FRANÇAIS NOMINEE

BEST FOR A leisurely meal with friends during the day or a fancy fine-dining experience in the evening. FOOD Lunch kicks off with a delicious bread course of cheese puffs, served warm with soft butter. This is followed by an amuse bouche of tuna tartare accompanied by a palate cleanser of fresh sweet beetroot. The butter-poached langoustine starter, served with a cheese-and-snoek velouté, is sophisticated in appearance and flavour. Mains comprise an 18-hour confit Karoo lamb enrobed in a deep and rich sauce enriched with marrow. For dessert, opt for the speculaas-and-pumpkin dessert offering before the meal ends with a dramatic dry ice presentation of a truffle flavoured with grape jelly. DRINKS The wine list consists of a selection of local Franschhoek wines. SERVICE Attentive, warm and efficient. AMBIENCE The restaurant has a beautiful contemporary feel about it. (ZN)
