Views, food, and service blend together in the divine blend. This spot gives you amazing views of the Franschhoek valley - even better to if you are here for sunset. The service is excellent. The waiters are friendly and knowledgeable- which is so important. And then the food…aah, so delicious. It’s Franschhoek fare…fine dining. Definitely a memorable spot.

What an amazing cultural experience! I Absolutely top notch service from start to finish. Michelle the manager you were amazing! Thank you so much for making my special day even better! The staff, food and atmosphere was out of this world including the breathtaking views. Cant wait to go back! It was so beautiful that my partner proposed here 💕 Thank you Le Petit!!!

AMAZING is the key word to describe this very special boutique hotel. Amazing views. Amazing rooms - we stayed in the bridal suite. Amazing staff, nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very special. Amazing atmosphere, get a table by the wood burner with stunning views if you can. Amazing food, the young pastry chef needs a special mention - my wife is allergic to most grains and yet we had the most delicious breads and pastries. The personal breakfast table buffet tray was inventive and delicious. We truly LOVED our stay. Thanks so much to everyone.

OUTSTANDING! Had lunch and the service, the venue and the food was excellent. Dishes were simple, elegant and very tasty. My chocolate mouse desert has to get a special mention. One of the best deserts of my life and a great end to a fantastic day. Will definitely be back.

One of the best lunch spots in Franschhoek. Service is excellent, the restaurant looks great, the view is spectacular and food tastes amazing👌🏾

Amazing food. Reasonable. Love the atmosphere and so chilled. Awesome view and service is really great. Will definitely recommend to go here. Chef and staff are 1 of the best I have encountered. Big up to u all. Love❤❤

Lovely place, service, food, ambience. Would definitely go back. Just... watch out for the baboons ;-)

Beautiful setting, great food and good service. And they make a VERY nice wine

Hidden gem! This place is absolutely stunning - offering the most beautiful view in Franschhoek. Staff is professional, friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was the best, he gave great recommendations and made sure to check up on us. For starters we had the Venison Tartare and Chicken Ravioli. For mains we had the Seared Line Fish and Pulled Lamb. For dessert we had the Orange Chocolate Hazelnut Torte and Malva Pudding. All dishes beautifully presented and full of flavour. My favourite was the Chicken Ravioli - wish it was offered as a Main dish as I couldnt get enough of it! We also enjoyed a bottle of the Baboon Rock Rosé with our meals. The Restaurant offers inside and outside seating, but be sure to sit outside if the weather permits, as the picturesque view is one that will have you feeling so relaxed that time will literally fly by. Will definitely recommend this restaurant!

My husband and I spent two days at la petite femme. We throughly enjoyed our time there. The staff were absolutely first class. Service first class! The breakfasts first class! the view the very best. The French nouvelle cuisine not quite our choice... but we enjoyed it nevertheless. I highly recommend this to be your number one choice in Franschoek!

Awesome experience, amazing views and the food was superb. The heritage food on the menu was absolutely fantastic.

Its many years since I was there, but the standard of food and the service remain very good. It is expensive and Im glad I wasnt paying the bill!

Nowhere near how it used to be! Magic is long gone, apart from the views. New owners trying to milk this cash-cow. Unfortunately the most disappointing meal out about 50 we had on our trip and also the most pricey... makes no sense.So many nicer places to eat

Absolutely beautiful 3 course meal taste and presentation..

Absolutely wonderful service.

Honestly, I can’t imagine a more breathtaking way to explore Franschhoek.

Once again outstanding service and excellent food. You cant go wrong booking at La Petite Ferme. We will always come back to our favorite spot in Franschhoek.

Delicious food; friendly and knowledgeable staff; stunning views (goosebump moment)

Delicious food and very friendly and accommodating staff!

I went for dinner. I have been very nicely welcomed and seated. The view on the nature and mountains are gorgeous. The waitress was very nice with us.I took an aged beef which has nothing to do with dried aged beef, probably my mistake. This meal is just a beef.We did not finished our started that we have been asked politely to change the table closer to the opened door to the garden which was in the fresh find. I found that un pleasant request from the staff to move us out for some reason. I decline and find that not nice because also outside there was nothing more to see as the night was dark.The price is way too expensive for what it is!I already went to better restaurant for less expensive price. Their wine selection is ultra limited and personally I don’t like their wine.We had also to wait an additional time because they make a mistake in the order of my partner. I can understand for normal restaurants, but this type of restaurant and at this price , sorry I cannot accept that.

Excellent service and stunning views!

Lovely view, beautiful and delicious food, great service :)

Superb lunch with quality wines, lovely friendly staff, the beautiful vista comes free. 10/10

We spent our anniversary weekend at La Petite Ferme and we were blown away by their exceptional service and attention to detail, from the food to the accommodation facilities... We are certainly going back...

We got a driver for a day and tried several restaurants in and around Cape Town. Before sunset we decided to have dinner at La petit Ferme which in retrospect was a splendid decision. Everybody had a three course menu. From appetizer to dessert the food was outstanding. I bought 6 bottles of a fantastic Shiraz but then again all of their wines were worth buying! The only hassle we experienced was in the beginning. We had a reservation for 10 people but they didn’t have a table big enough. The problem was solved and while we were waiting we explored the wonderful grounds of the winery. The view is serene, magical and one of a kind. Especially the sunset was something to look forward to.

We had a great meal here on our first night in Franschhoek. The staff were great and very attentive and the food and wine were excellent. We sat on the terrace and watched the sun set. A really beautiful place to visit.

We come here since Years for our last stop of our wine tour but all the sudden manger won’t let us in anymore because they don’t want guests from outside anymore... really disappointing, since we come here for years and always enjoyed staying there... for our future visits and nights in the wine-yards we will choose another place

Interesting to read the mixed reviews. Venue is gorgeous, with stunning views. Service was good. Dishes were well presented, but not very tasty at all, so overall a little disappointed.

Weve been there for 4 years now. Having drinks at the lawn and just enjoyed the sunset. Unfortunately we were there today (feb 2020) but they changed their policy - so it’s only set menus with reservation at the tables. No comfy, relaxed stay here anymore! :( very disappointing!

What a wonderful experience. Marizaan was the most amazing Wine Host with exceptional sense of humor and shared her wealth of knowledge with ease. Thank you.

The views are incredible but unfortunately the food is a disgrace to the place. Starting from the bread that seemed to be few days old..The food was portrayed beautifully but lacked taste or was actually very poor. We love food & wine, and have eaten in amazing restaurants in South Africa, this however was the low point to our stay.Enjoy the view & few cocktails, not worth anything else as there are so many other great restaurants nearby!

Elegant and beautiful setting. We had a superb entre, authentic high quality food. My fatal error was to choose the lamb; I counted more than 20 ingredients and my Italian simple culinary education did not allow me to appreciate the whole complexity of this preparation unfortunately. Wines we tasted were very good.

Great views and food was generally good. Was let down by being served wrong starter, and desert was pre-prepared - hard layer of ice formed over the ‘soft’ ice cream (was obviously lying in the freezer for some time). So not the fine dining experience I expected.

Best lunch spot in Franschehoek.

Amazing views of the vineyards - reservations to the restaurant is a must as they are always fully booked. They’ve got a lovely selection of wines (naturally) but food gets served only after a 45min wait, but you can take strolls along the yard while waiting.Great service from staff. Food tasted amazing.

Disappointing.2 waiters to serve 30 people.Food desperately average and barely hot.Complained to the manger and he wasn’t the slightest bit interested.Easily the worst experience of our wonderful week.

Views are gorgeous but the food definitely not up to standards. Although the food is presented nicely it lacks finesse and taste. I had haloumi cheese as a starter which was nog grilled at all and lacked any form of flavor. My girlfriend had goat cheese which was just a hump of cheese without any additional flavoring, the mains did not get any better. So unfortunate as the place is beautiful but they better get a decent up to scale chef soon.

Stunning venue. Really disappointing menu. A hodgepodge of dishes. A few not available. Charming waitress but poor back up service from the kitchen.

Beautiful place and friendly staff except for the Manager. He treated my family and I like worms who crawled out of cheese. Sat us outside in winter then forgot about us. He completely ruined this place for me. I would go back but only if he is not on duty.

What a wonderful location. Starters fantastic.... squid ink pasta under cooked and could have been better. Otherwise we really enjoyed our meal.

We went to La Petite Ferme for dinner. It was much bigger than we expected and we were seated on a table very close to the kitchen. We asked whether we could change to a table with a better view on Franschhoek but were told that those tables had been reserved. In the end almost all of those tables stayed free throughout our dinner. Food was ok, service was not very welcoming.

Had the MOST divine lunch thanks to brilliant Chef Kyle Norris. Fantastic service in the most divine setting. Highly recommended!!!

Ive been here twice, a year apart. Both times were fantastic. The views are spectacular. Cold bubbles before amazing food, so idyllic. I must advise that the restaurant is up a steep hill, so if you cycle expect to get sweaty.

We went for a wine tasting and cheese platter. The views are outstanding and the wines were the best we tasted during our stay in the winelands! I would definitely recommend this winery for the wine tasting. They were very knowledgeable and the service was excellent.

Excellent venue. Extensive sunset views towards the mountains.Good atmosphere, relaxed but good service.Food was excellent. Well priced for the quality.

Service was excellent....

Good food and wine. Excellent service. Wonderful surroundings. Overall, great as always.

Just go and experience it yourself. Heaven on earth! Service, ambiance, view, fantastic food.

Fantastic view and food was amazing. Super service. Dont miss it

Really lovely settings

Outstanding lunch! Ask for the tree terrace, relax & enjoy! Worth every minute it takes you to get there!

We went for a few drinks, beautiful views and goo service

Sadly this place has gone downhill since a few years back. Food not as good. The trout main was very tough and chewy. The server was not warm or friendly and lacked knowledge about the dishes. View still amazing though.

Excellent menu! Excellent service, and friendly, great staff. Gorgeous views of the valley.

Wow. First time visit with USA guests and LA Petite Ferme did not let me down. Food and Service and surroundings were magnificent. Thank you so much for this experience.

We had dinner last night. Fantastic surroundings, good food and wine. Standard of the staff can improve for such a place.

The food is great, however, if youre a tour group on a schedule then I would not recommend this place.On two occasions lunch has taken more than 2hrs. An hour had passed before the main course was served.

We had the most amazing experience! Lovely atmosphere, incredible food and friendly staff who put in that extra bit of effort. Thank you for making our evening memorable.

One of the best views in Franschhoek. This restaurant is a must go for anyone visiting the area , I would highly recommend siting outside especially during the summer as a breeze comes off the mountain making the temperature nice a cool. The food is great with a nice variety which allows you to tastes many different local flavours.

The hotel is fabulous. Gorgeous views, luxurious rooms, 5-star service...we loved our stay!However, we were incredibly disappointed by the restaurant. The food was some of the worst we had on our entire trip; the dishes were quite frankly bad--either flavourless or too salty. Also the only wines they have by the glass are those from their own winery, which we wouldnt have had a problem with had the wines not been completely undrinkable. We had one sip of each and couldnt drink anymore, and the restaurant still charged us for them.

Having heard a lot about this restaurant I was disappointed by our dinner. Not bad but nothing special. None of the food was served warm enough and I had wildebeest which was covered in a very sticky and far too peppery sauce which distracted from the taste of the meat. Staff were nice and the service was good.

During our holiday to South Africa my brother decided to bring myself & husband to La Petite Ferme for lunch following a fantastic previous experience with his wife. The surrounding view of the valley, beautifully kept gardens & decor greeted us for what we had hoped would be an amazing dining experience! The menu was a little daunting as we were unsure as to the ingredients each dish consisted of but in the end settled for slow roasted lamb, in itself absolutely beautiful, but accompanying ingredients more of an artistic design than what my husband & brothers appetite required - 4 prunes, 4 of the tiniest amount of piped mash potato I have ever seen plus the tiniest amount of creamed vegetable. Having ordered 3 X lamb plus a fish dish for my sister-in-law (each main course R280+) our food arrived only to find our 3 lamb had been replaced with a game dish so instead of eating together as a family we waited while my sister-in-law had to eat alone. Because the policy was a minimum of two courses we chose to have dessert - again a beautiful work of art, but the tiniest amount of food, again tastes not to our liking, resulting in my husband refusing to even try what was placed in front of him!! Mine was equally unappealing so both were returned to the kitchen! Our waitress was so apologetic & the manageress came for feedback as to what had gone wrong? - and removed the 4 desserts from the bill which we appreciated. My brother was so stressed by the whole experience, especially as we had travelled from the Southern suburbs, approx. 2 hours drive!! I can only recommend this as a restaurant where food is an expensive art experience & not a place to come to fulfill an appetite.

This rating is based on the consistent high standards and quality my family and I have received at this restaurant from past visits over the past few years. It is based collectively of all my visits here.This review however, refers to my last visit where the standards we had previously received were not quite met.We came here for dinner a few days ago (December 2019) for part of my fathers birthday celebration. As usual the views were spectacular and the staff friendly. (I recommend sitting on the grass with a drink before you sit down for your meal.) When we sat down for our meal the waitress was lovely enough to let my father taste the wines before ordering. The waitress however did go back and forth a lot getting each of our drinks individually (not a complaint really, just something to improve on for the restaurant to note) The food was delicious, I had the Venison (cooked to perfection) however, it was promised to come with Dauphinoise , which if you know it, is a creamy layered potato side, often quite substantial. When we recieved the plate, although beautifully presented, it was nowhere to be seen. When we asked the waitress she insisted it was the small pieces of sweet potato. After asking the chef, it turns out the sweet potato was a replacement. This, as you can tell was disappointing for my family and I. I wouldve appreciated it if the waitresses and waiters had been previously informed by the chef to avoid the hassle. On this particular visit I feel the service was overall a bit lacking.They also brought my dad a little plate of desserts for his birthday, with a marshmallow, brownie and lemon Turkish delight. A lovely gesture. It wouldve been slightly more convenient if brought before we ordered dessert, because it was quite difficult to finish everything, but Im just nitpicking.Its important to note if youre a picky eater or have specific dietary requirements, that you check the menu beforehand because, although delicious, the selection of menu items is limited, and when we visited with my brother, who prefers not to eat red meat, he was left with the vegetarian option, which was still good, but he wouldve preferred a chicken dish.Overall though, a lovely place for a celebrarory meal (as is on the more expensive side) with lovely views, good wine selection and quality food.

Delicious and original food in a beautiful setting for a reasonable price

Beautifully presented lunch. It not only looked good it tasted better.The views from the restaurant are stunning.

Very fine dining in a non-pretentious atmosphere. Service was prompt and friendly. Food delicious at a reasonable price.

Stunninv view witb stunninv food!

Stunning views. Plenty of seating with great, friendly staff. Food was delish with good variety of drinks.

Very sorry to say so, but equally sorry to have spent a fair sum of money, we were not impressed by the food. It was bland and simply ok at best (of course keeping in mind the price)... the view is of course stunning and the staff seemed fine, yet not incredibly sympathetic. But if the food doesn’t meet standards then those things don’t weigh on the experience. We had two other stunning meals in the valley and this simply didn’t compare in our opinion.

What an absolute gem. Gorgeous views overlooking the vineyards and orchards. Lovely outside area. Friendly staff. An absolute must visit in Franschoek.

Superb experience, professional service, great food, ingenuously put together, all presented in an idyllic setting with breathtaking views. Five stars!

I enjoyed myself at this farm. Very secluded beautiful tranquil farm is. I visited the farm in March 2012 for a good four day stay. The staff very friendly and helpful.

Five star meals and wine. Staff super helpful and attentive. That said, undertones of colonialism are definitely present in the atmosphere.

Excellent food and wine. Visited July 2017 and the place was awesome. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous views

Very nicely composed dishes in a most stunning setting with mountain views. Unfortunately I cannot give it five stars as the wine glasses leaves a lot to be desired. In a premium restaurant/vineyard like this premium glasses (at least Riedel Vinum or equivalent). The wine both tasted and smelled weird in the thick shabby chic glasses...

Went there for a coffee and cake around 3pm. First of all they didnt have any cake so we ordered desserts instead. They were good, but oh my! Everything is very expensive for South African prices and portions were very small. It is a fancy place, which I didnt know... so if you dont enjoy this kind of atmosphere you can find other places with a nice view and great food with much better prices.

Easily the most scenic restaurant Ive ever been to. Great food and service to add to it!

The views alone at la petite ferme are well worth the trip. If you’re looking for fine dining at a reasonable price then look no further.

My wife anna and i stayed at la petite ferme for the last part of our South African trip, beautiful scenery, amazing wines, the rooms are beautiful and large, with views of the vineyards and mountains, the restaurant was very nice, the dishes we had were very tasty and nicely presented, the service was top notch, friendly and professional, I would highly recommend a stop at la petite ferme

I had the Lamb for Lunch and a Uncooked Amarula Cheese cake for Desert. They definitely deserve 5 starts for the food, wine, service and ambiance, as it was Incredible. However the female bathrooms let down the overall experience which were not up to standard with the rest of the restaurant.

As always. Great food, service and atmosphere. And stunning views

Really nice view but food was underwhelming. Having heard so much and being quite pricy we were really expecting more. However staff was really professional and friendly.

Stunning setting with the most beautiful view of the Franschhoek valley. Friendly staff and delicious food.

Friendly staff and great food with a wonderful view.

Great views from the inclosed porch, but not sufficiently heated. We received appetizer that was lightly warmed. The main course was delicius.

Amazing food, amazing food! One of my favorite places to eat out in Franschhhoek.

Glorious. Beautiful views with unbelievable service for our honeymoon - their own sparkling rose with rose petals on the bed on arrival. Well done x

Great food, great service, great views. Havent stayed there yet so I cant comment on that, but otherwise very impressive.

Great food, excellent service . I was unsure, from reviews, whether this would prove successful. But we enjoyed a super lunch. Not haute cuisine, but good, interesting , well cooked food. We will be back for my wifes birthday shortly !

Breathtaking La Petite Ferme. Service Excellence exceeded.

Great views in the evening as sun sets and good dining facilities and attentive staff. Food was good but a bit expensive compared to other vineyards

2009 - Superb views, amazing food, fantastic in house wine tour and great service. Best in Autumn, Spring and early summer. Winters can be cosy and cold.

Stunning evening.....thank you Annell for inviting us to a stunning venue....great food, hospitality 5*

Interesting food in a beautiful setting serene and tranquil. The newly revamped rooms look really nice and inviting.

Idyllic spot, delicious food. Youd pay the money for the view so the quality of service, wines and food just makes this place special.

All of the old magic has well and truly gone. Was once a real gem offering an exceptional interactive experience/wine tasting, great value tasting menu and an amazing view. Now it is an overly expensive plasticised wine tour (small pours and parrot like often inaccurate explanation - apparantly all red wine will be in screw tops in 5 years) for R100 each. Now probably the worst winery experience in South Africa.

The location, service and feeling of the place was sublime. I was excited to try the wilderbeast but was a little disappointed with the rest of the menu

I was so disappointed particularly with the service. We sat in the boiling heat..the week before Christmas on the lawn. We had asked for drinks but none came. Eventually my son walked back to the restaurant to order. Eventually drinks came. The food was very average but came with a huge price tagThen the waitron asked us no less than five times if we wanted the card machine. The last time my sons girlfriend was accosted in the Laidies by one of your staff. She is in hotel management in NZ and took great exception to this.Since then i have been told by my friends they will never visit your restaurant again because of shocking service.Diana Rose-Innes

Amazing views and great food. Wide selection of wines and alcohol.Service is fair
