Just an hour out of Cape Town, located in the heart of the beautiful Franschhoek village Le Quartier Français, a Relais & Chateaux hotel is the perfect base from which to explore the magnificent Winelands area. Set in beautiful scented gardens, this haven of tranquillity allows guests to wonder on to the main street and immerse themselves in the local ambience. All rooms and suites offer luxurious amenities, decadent fabrics and beds big enough to play in. The Treatment Room, The Screening Room and the shop Touches & Tastes all add a touch of charm to the whole Le Quartier Français experience.
Le Quartier Français specializes in gastronomy. Its world-renowned restaurant, The Tasting Room (voted one of the top 50 restaurants in the world for the last five years), offers exciting five- or eight-course tasting menus, allowing guests to experience local flavours with a difference. There is also a more casual bistro, iCi, open throughout the day serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Bread & Wine, the Le Quartier Français sister restaurant on Môreson (the family vineyard), is ideal for lazy sun-filled lunches. For hands-on culinary adventures, join our in-house Culinary Concierge. Mornings full of bread baking, cooking with South African ingredients, dessert discoveries and wine blending are just a taste of the experiences on offer. A little French, a lot local – Le Quartier offers guests a warm ambience, generous hospitality, unforgettable cuisine and experiences that create lasting memories.
