Great lunchtime picnics on beanbags ...On Boschendal today little has changed, with our restaurants offering an array of authentic culinary experiences. First and foremost our focus is on providing flavourful and nourishing farm-to-table food; celebrating the bountiful produce of Boschendal and the Franschhoek valley with menus that shift with the seasons. Much of the fresh produce you’ll find on your plate is sustainably grown right here on Boschendal Farm, and where possible we source other ingredients from farms and small producers in the surrounding winelands.

Situated on Chamonix Wine Farm in Franschhoek, this restaurant is a culmination of chef Richard Carstens’ more-than-30-years experience in some of the top kitchens in the land (most famously an eight-year stint at Tokara). The menu at Arkeste combines Richard’s past passions and triumphs (molecular gastronomy and Asian-fusion), his self-taught techniques (classical French) and his most recent musings: clean eating and pescetarianism.

Italian themed chain restaurant, offering take aways should the evening get all too difficult! ...With artisanal wood-fired pizzas, sumptuous pastas and gourmet salads, it was not long before the Col’Cacchio magic spread far and wide. And now, 25 years later, with restaurants all over the country, the mere mention of Col’Cacchio sends taste buds into a wild. It's more than a menu. It's a celebration.
