Despite some of the less than positive reviews here, my wife and I decided to give Reuben's a try last week when we visited Franschhoek. By and large we were not disappointed. Service was attentive and I have no complaints. The sommellier was particularly friendly, especially when we discussed some of the wines we liked from SA and had tried... more

Let's start of by saying that Reuben's is very, very good. Elegantly decorated and a definite hotspot on the Franschhoek restaurant scene. Food wasn't quite as spectacular as expected though. Really very good - for sure - but not quite up to the standards of the very best in Franschhoek. I got the feeling there was an effort being made... more

We were in Franshoek for 2 weeks so eat at a number of restaurants. It's fair to say that Reubens is for the in crowd as it is quite largel, very noisy and bustling. It has to be said though we had a table to the side of the main restaurant and the food wa very good and the service... more

Great food, good wine, excellent service and one of the best meals of the holiday. We had lunch and had they been able to fit us in, would've gone back for dinner too!! Book in advance for evenings, otherwise you will be disappointed to have missed out on this restaurant more

We were unable to get a table for the evening so had to stay for lunch. If only we'd known what it was going to be like we'd have had a smaller breakfast! This was by far the best meal of the holiday in South Africa (which involved travelling the "Garden Route" - Cape Town to Port Elizabeth) for the... more

My wife and I had dinner at Reuben's last week and it was simply outstanding. The food was exceptional with perfect service. We toured South Africa for 16 days and this was our best meal of the entire trip. Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful meal. more

There is NO REASON this is the #6 restaurant in Frans. In my humble opinion it is the number 2 restaurant behind the Tasting Room. And that's good company to be in. The staff was great. Attentive, knowledgeable and the food was Spot On! All that with a very resonable price. Very Very Well Done! more

We went to Reuben’s in early July as part of our regular visits to Franschhoek. We’ve been to Reuben’s many times and this visit confirmed what a great place it is to eat in Franschhoek. Clean flavours – imaginative without being overly fussy. The dishes deliver far more than is promised on the understated menu. In keeping with South African... more

We had dinner at Reuben's our last night in South Africa. It was amazing. Three of us ordered the filet mignon with a bone marrow sauce. I was a little hesitant about the sound of bone marrow, but it was fantastic. Two of us ordered ravioli; some were made from goat cheese and some of them were made with sweet... more

We went to Reubens on Saturday 06 June and were absolutely disappointed. From a rude greeting at the door to a poor table where the seating was too low for the table. The tables are diner style so the chairs don't fit under the table! The indifferent staff, our water glasses frequently empty. Almost 90 minutes from seating to our... more
