Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"This is a very enjoyable place to have dinner, staff are exceptionally friendly and professional, considering the price point, the food was well presented and full of flavour. The chef had made us fresh Malva puddings which were superb. The setting is relaxed and definitely envelopes you in a feeling of being in a countryside restaurant in France."
"Visited Monneaux in March. we didn’t have the opportunity to sit outside on the fountain terrace, but this didn’t take away from our experience. The Manor House had its charm with the multiple rooms creating an intimate, homely atmosphere. This is one of few child-friendly fine dining options in Franschhoek, known as gourmet capital of the Western Cape. The thoughtfully curated children's menu goes beyond the usual generic options. In fact their dishes are on par with the adult selections, offering sophisticated yet appealing choices for younger palates. As a father of three, and foodie, this is most important."
"We came here on our last trip and loved it. Still as good as ever this time, beautiful location, superb food and service. Thank you for an excellent meal and delightful service. Can't recommend enough."
"We are early for our dinner. Staff invite us to tour around the restaurant and premises, while they take order of our drinks first. Friendly, genuine and polite staffs. Get to met the Chef who personalized a 12pax cake on our request. Perfect!"
"Monneaux is one of the few restaurants in Franschhoek that’s à la carte whereas majority has a set menu. Lovely establishment also offers accommodation with a beautiful pool area. Service was five star, friendly and welcoming staff. We were served with complimentary hot baked rolls. Food was deliciously plated and flavorful. I would definitely recommend Monneaux 100%"
"We had a wonderful experience at Monneaux Restaurant. The food was outstanding — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with great care. What made the evening truly special, however, was our hostess Lizzie. She was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful throughout our visit. Her kindness added a personal touch that made the dinner unforgettable. Highly recommended."
"I agree with the previous comments on the chicken prawn curry was more than I could ever hoped for. We found our lunch experience to be four star quality. Large portions complimented by perfect seasoning and presentation. Be sure to save time to enjoy the 5 course dinner with wine pairing. Offers you a chance to try a few wines that you may have not had time to visit for a formal tasting."
"We had a great family celebration here. The food was good, the staff were really lovely, the venue is beautiful. We were even treated to a complimentary glass of bubbles which made my mum’s day. If you don’t want to pay wine farm prices but want a special experience Monneaux ticks all the boxes."
