We tried to get into Allora on our first night but couldn’t because we didn’t have a reservation. So of course we made a reservation for another night assuming it must be good—and it was. The Italian menu has a lot of variety and is...creative. My husband initially couldn’t decide between the Kudu steak with gorgonzola and fig sauce and the calamari tubes stuffed with a halloumi cheese and pesto mixture on pasta. Ultimately he went with the calamari, which I liked more than the traditional calamari in a white wine sauce I got. My dinner was great, but I should have opted for the creative option this time. We split the generous portion of tiramisu and it was the best tiramisu we’ve had, …and we’ve had a lot of tiramisu. We definitely recommend Alora, but make reservations. On a warm evening it’s nice to sit outside.More

This restaurant delivered above our expectations. We had the best Melanzane ever and the veal was fantastic. We also tried the pizza and it was delicious.

A return to one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Franschhoek. We visited here twice during our 8 night stay including Valentines Night which luckily we’d booked in advance. We’ve always sat outside previously but both times this occasion we were seated inside which was...much more preferable as the wind can whip up and turn things chilly. Our first visit we both opted for the prawn risotto accompanied by garlic bread with cheese and it was delicious. The second visit it was seafood linguine and prawn pasta, again accompanied by garlic bread with cheese - again superb. The restaurant was really busy on both occasions with a great atmosphere and service was great. Well recommended.More

The restaurant is warm and welcoming, had some wine, water and pizza which was a generous serving. FORTUNE!!!! THAT IS ONE AMAZING PERSON. He constantly checked up on me, made certain I was okay, no complaints. There was water, drinks, food and constant communication. Highly...recommended and appreciated. Thank you for service with a smile. As a Joburger in CT it's great to see someone that made my experience worthwhile. Thank you Fortune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️ My husband agrees too.More

We arrived into Franschhoek that afternoon and didn't have a reservation for dinner that evening. Our hotel suggested and quickly made a reservation for us that evening just a couple hours later. We sat outside on the patio and looked at the beautiful mountains. The...service was quick and the food was good, we both got pastas and they were large helpings and very tasty. The place was packed and overall we had a great dinner esp it being sort of last minute. Would recommendMore

This restaurant is very large but the service is just as good as a small restaurant. Taps looked after us exceptionally. Different Pastas gluten free and an excellent meal. Jackie had a sweet which she said was one of the best she had tasted. Torre...di Pisa. Filo pastry with nuts cream and chocolate.More

We had the most amazing evening at Allora. The food was out of this world. I had a pizza and I have never had one as good as this. The service was also extremely good. All in all, couldn’t fault anything. If we lived in...Franschhoek we would go back as often as we could.More

Fresh and Delicious! The pasta with pesto was fresh and delicious. Rivals many fancier restaurants for flavor. The focaccia is quite large with home made mozzarella balls and the freshest basil. Far exceeded our expectations for a nice lunch in town.

We were just walking around and arrived at 7.30 pm as the tables outside looked lovely in the small square. We had a lovely welcome and sat outside on a warm evening. The food was really good - we chose pizza and a rustico salad...and it was really tasty. Lovely friendly service too.More

We had a good meal here. Simple but tasty. Nice courtyard to sit outside. Staff were very efficient. If you are looking for a good basic meal try Allora.

We ate here during our first night in this town. It was very convenient because it was walking distance from our hotel and took about four minutes to walk there. It was good Italian food in a casual atmosphere.

Was so looking forward to our meal at Allore. Maybe should have stuck to pizza as it’s famous for this. Food was okay. Didn’t like the recommended Kudu beer. Prices reasonable.
