The Grillroom

Pork ribs, grilled and barbeque-basted to perfection, are just one of the multitude of meaty items on offer to leave you licking your fingers with delight. It's a carnivore's paradise with a range of cuts available, all aged and well hung. The steaks are presented on wooden boards – or a plate, if you prefer – with flags to denote level of rareness and a variety of spice rubs, sauces or basting. The seafood, skewers, venison and salads are all equally tempting. Leave a small space for dessert and watch out for the oozy chocolate spring rolls.

A cut above the usual restaurant list. Thoughtfully selected with a variety of options, along with an array of top-notch ‘trophy hunter’ labels. Prices are excellent too.

Friendly, warm and welcoming. Well versed in the restaurant's many offerings.

Definitely a more manly feel. Typical steakhouse banquette seats and bare bricks inside. There are some fantastic touches like the enamel bucket water-feature that provides a feng shui tinkle to the al fresco experience, and the water spigots that accompany the condiments.

The private dining area that seats 20 is ideal for business lunches, small private events or special family occasions. (FM, October 2011)

My partner and I had an excellent dinner here last weekend. Our steak and ribs were cooked to absolute perfection and we had a delicious Butternut and Beetroot salad to start. Dessert was a decent size and delectable as well – lemon curd tart is sublime! The service was very good and they were kind enough to accommodate us at 8pm without a booking. Definitely our new favourite restaurant in Franschhoek!
