This was our first trip to Dieu Donne, but it will not be our last! The restaurant was excellent-I really think they make the best snails I have ever tasted and all the other dishes we had were also great! The home brewed beer was a nice surprise. Everybody was very helpful and friendly- a special thank you to the... More

Attended a wedding at Dieu Donne. Amazing views for the service and good service in the restaurant Roca. Easily the best wedding I've been to and the venue was certainly a big part of that

this has got to be the most spectacular view of Franschhoek i have seen. what else could be better in life than having the kids play in the vineyards as you taste one of the widest variety of wines available. whilst not all the wines are fantastic and perhaps focusing on a smaller variation may be my suggestion. The view,... More

Superb lunch, fantastic view! Start with a vine tasting then go for the lunch, stroll back to the city afterwards, no problem since it is down the hill. If you want to have extra appetite walk there uphill!

The best spot in the area to watch the sun going down with a gin and tonic on the terrace. I didn't eat here, so I am not sure about the quality of the food. However I had a couple of drinks and observed that the service appeared to be a little haphazard.

Good food, and if you get a good table, lovely views of the valley down towards Franschhoek. We were picked up at the hotel and were taken to the restaurant, and also driven home! Impressive! Absolutely worth a visit.

Not only the situation - the food was superb, and the service second to none. Have a drink on the terrace to enjoy the sunset and then move upstairs into the restaurant for the wonderful eating experience - still with the view. A free taxi service can be provided from local guest houses, which allows you to enjoy the wines... More
