Very romantic restaurant. Wonderful menu and the food was delicious. Staff was very attentive. It was my husband’s birthday and they made it very special. We appreciated the tapas style menu.

Had a fabulous evening at this fine dining restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and served by Joseph who explained the concept of "assiettes" or small plates where one chooses from an extensive list. Each portion is small and is priced reasonably. He suggested that we start with one and then add on as we go, which is what we did. Delicious plates of tempura prawns, lamb cutlet or pork, chicken rillettes or an apple tarte tatin. So enjoyed the evening. Joseph was attentive but discrete. Will definitely return when we are once again in Franschhoek.

This was the second time my husband and I stayed at the charming Franschhoek Country House-- reviewed elsewhere. But, this was the first time we dined at their lovely restaraunt Monneaux.
We visited at a quiet time of year, on a windy, chilly and rainy night and were only one of two couples dining that evening. The compound is gated and very safe. There is ample free, off street parking within the gates with a security guard. The restaraunt was located steps from our suite. The lighting is demure. The decor in the glassed in verandah is elegant and charming set among their . beautuful gardens and fountains. Dinner consists of small plates to please any discerning palette. Service us attentive without being pretentious. Every effort was made to please us. The prices were very reasonable. We had such a lovely dinner, we returned the following evening.

We were lucky enough to stay in The Franschhoek Country House Hotel and we enjoyed an excellent dinner in this renowned restaurant. The menu was original and imaginative. I particularly liked their small plates selection as you could try all sorts of delicious dishes. The food was beautifully presented and the service was excellent. It was great value for money. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Monneaux Restaurant is a quaint and comfy restaurant at the Franschhoek Country House and Villa. The menu is unique where it features “small plates” which allow guests to choose various meals which are all prepared in top quality. The crayfish thermidor was exquisite.
