Guidebook for Guests of Franschhoek Farm Cottages
Food Scene
Its got the best French food with good service. Its in the main road so you get to sit on the patio and enjoy a glass of bubbly while taking in the Franschhoek vibe. How formal is it? Formal being 10 and casual being 1, I would give it a 7/10.

The name says it all. The "baby" of the famous Le Colombe. Fine dining taken seriously by the menu by not by the atmosphere. Very nice setting, food is fantastic, the atmosphere is just more relaxed than it will be at a 5* fine dining restaurant. I will highly recommend this place if you would like a fine dining experience at a good prices

This place is wonderful. They have the most beautiful and creative gardens. My personal favorite place around Franschhoek. Its 20 min out of town, but worth the drive. There is a place where you can have lunch or just a coffee.
They also do wine tastings, have a restaurant that is formal and they have a spa. The spa is amazing but very full and expensive! Maybe you are in town for a special occasion.... :)

Avoid a fine from Traffic Officers
In Europe and the UK you are allowed to park on any side of the road. In SA only on your left.
At the 3 stop, at the Monument, as you enter town there is usually a traffic cop making sure everyone stops. Stop to avoid ticket.

周邊交通資訊
Use Uber as the cheapest option
Uber offers the best rates, but can sometimes take too long as there are only a few opperators. Lots of local taxi's available, ask us for a few contacts as it can get very expensive.

Do not tip for parking in Franschhoek
The Municipality has decided not to make use of car guards in town. The locals stop every 2 minutes and it is impossible to tip everyone. We have no paid parking in town except for weekends on the church grounds, but if you need to pay you will be charged before you enter.

Don't but the first piece of art you see
In Franschhoek there are many Art Galleries. Each unique, with the most beautiful pieces!! Some local, some African, some strange and some just ridiculously expensive. Walk through the whole of the main road before making a decision. There are LOTS to choose from.
