New Look Tasting Room at Le Quartier Francais Hotel, Franschhoek

The Tasting Room, which is Le Quartier Francais Hotel’s flagship restaurant and one of the top 50 restaurants in the world, now offers diners two uniquely created tasting menus; an eight course – expertly paired with local wines – and a five course choice menu.

The décor has been revised and was designed to function as a platform for Margot Janse’s acclaimed cuisine. Conceptualised and realised by Herbert Janse, well-known Dutch set designer (and Margot’s brother), the stage aims to amplify the essence of what makes Margot’s food so exceptional. Art – from the owner’s private collection – by revered South African artist, Maud Sumner, is on display. Each piece is exquisite and was hand-selected to play a specific role in The Tasting Room, adding unforgettable depth to the atmosphere.
