We had such a lovely evening at Miko Restaurant, from start to finish we were looked after and spoilt by the kind, attention of their skilled team. We were picked up from our rented house in Franschhoek by the Mont Rochelle car and taken up...the hill to the hotel. This is a very useful service the hotel provides which ment we didn’t have to worry about the car and driving and parking. We could relax! After two icy cold, refreshing gin and tonics on the stunning terrace overlooking Franschhoek we went into the restaurant Miko and sat at a lovely table with a spectacular view. The sun was going down behind us and the mountains opposite were glowing in the evening light, quite a sight.
We chose the chef’s menu of 5 courses, you can have wine pairing with this but we chose not to. The menu was delicious, beautifully and imaginatively presented on very special plates. All very yummy, especially the slow cooked neck of lamb which was succulent and the Sea Bass with mussels…so good!
We chose a Mont Rochelle Cabernet Sauvignon ‘20 which was rich and delicious and a La Motte Sauvignon Blanc which was refreshing and went very well with the fish elements of the menu.
Service was excellent, skilled and friendly. The restaurant was full and buzzy with a lovely atmosphere. The hotel’s cat wondered in….I love it when the place has a homely touch!
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and can not recommend this place more highly. It is number one on our list of favourite places to eat in Franschhoek, dont miss it!More
