Suggestions by the agency that booked us are dinner at La Residence one night and The Tasting Room in Le Quartier Francais. Prefer fresh, local, not stuffy, not overly formal and am concerned the above may be in that catagory? Mon Mar 02 06:03:36 -0800 2009 29440 merbel 1 4465136 I can highly recommed Reuben's, on the main road of Franschhoek. Take a look here: http://www.leschambres.co.za/Restaurants/reubens.htm Mon Mar 02 06:22:41 -0800 2009 4465084 26093 ShelleyCT 2 4502766 Would also highly recomend Reuben's, outstanding food and service in a relaxing atmosphere. The Tasting Room served excellent food and wine,. It seems to strive to be a three star type of restaurant it is rather formal compared to most area restaurants. For lunch I highly recommend La Petite Ferme. Fri Mar 13 15:39:30 -0700 2009 4465136 103236 caseys 3 4549344 Great lunch at Ruebens, FANTASTIC dinner at The Tasting Room.
