Eating out in FranschhoekAt the risk of angering the entire national restaurant fraternity, let us say: prepare to dine in the gourmet capital of South Africa. Franschhoek’s restaurants frequently appear among the top 10 in the country, with gastronomic heights regularly reached by Le Quartier Français (voted among top 50 in the world), Bijoux, Monneaux, Haute Cabrière Cellar Restaurant among many more. Indulge – you won’t be disappointed at all. Or simply stroll along Huguenot Road, the town’s main street, and take your pick from restaurants that spill out onto the pavement. (Look out for the fromagerie and a Belgian chocolatier.)
