Franschoek Valley lunch


On the drizzly morning of Friday the 24th November, we decided to make our way out to Stellenbosch and Franschoek. On route we rang a mate of Keith's in London, Matt Mack, who had recommended a restaurant for lunch, with breathtaking views and equivalent menu. Mobile phones are awesome and within minutes Matt had given us the name and telephone number of La Petit Ferme in Franschoek. They were able to give us a table at 13h00, and Zack was compliant enough to fall asleep for nigh on the duration of our meal there : about 2 hours ! What bliss was ours. Keith wandered around the grounds and snapped a few photographs (sadly the weather wasn't playing ball, so these are as close as we can get to showing you how beautiful it is), and our food was better than anticipated. The service was world class, and so relaxed yet attentive. I would go again and again if we lived nearby. Friends of Keith's said, later on, that it used to be their favourite restaurant, but now they know the menu off by heart ! It is so hard living in the Cape. Experiences like this have made us wonder why we don't live in Cape Town.
