It was not too busy as it was winter time in Franschhoek wine valley.
Peace and calm away from the crazy tourist rush of December, so we really were treated like VIP's
Can not fault them on anything. Decor , service, Food. Just Fabulous.
We even got a little personal tour of the running of the Kitchen.
A very enlightened chat about the running of a fine dine restaurant.
I must take my hat off to these chefs.....Commitment i tell you.

Dinner was absolutely superbe. If it was awarded some Michelin star, I would give it a 2 for the food and wine. We had the 9 course degustation menu with pairing wines. We could not go for the 5 as each dish was appealling! I quite liked the interactive chef’s moment. Each dish was, well, excellent. From the wagyu with scallops, intriguing combination that worked well, the poached oyster, the springbok... this place is really worth a trip in itself! Coming from the Middle East, such quality level, with such nice service is difficult to find, without talking about value for money. Will definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back!

Was really looking forward to dinner here. But was just not good. After going to the Wine Estate with all the restaurants. I thought La Petite Colombe will be better. Unfortunately, they did not come close.

We often visit highly rated Franschhoek and Cape Town restaurants and its safe to say La Petite Colombe has out done themselves. Le Petite Colombe is one of the most special places to visit. The staff are professional and kind. Chef John Norris-Rogers is more than willing to meet with guests while the restaurant shares an amazing ambience. Food was spectacular. Definitely a restaurant to visit this winter. Well done to all the staff at Le Petite Calombe!
