Read full reviewI'm going to start by saying not only was this one of my favourite restaurant week experiences but one of the best dining experiences I have very had. The attention to detail is incredible, every single course was a visual masterpiece. Another thing that sets Le Coin Francais apart is that every course was as exceptional as the previous. I find often in fine dining restaurants a lot of focus is put into 2 or 3 of the dishes to give that 'wow' factor, but here we had 7 courses which delivered in each and every mouthful. I also loved the intimacy and relaxed atmosphere the restaurant offered. Honestly can't recommend it enough.
We love the food, beautiful dishes, and relaxed atmosphere.
This past weekend a small group of us were blessed to visit Franschoek, and even more privileged to have dinner at Le Coin.

As Master Chef fans, this turned out to be an experience that was beyond incredible. Chef Marcus personally attended to us when delivering his amazing tuna under a glass filled dome smoked with wine barrel wood chips.
Walter throughout the evening was informative, accommodating, and his gentle knowledgeable style of explaining each dish was tops.
Shane, resident sommelier, was equally amazing in his unobtrusive style of elegantly providing refills without us even noticing. His overall and local knowledge of wines is highly commendable.
Overall this was a pilgrimage of food, taste sensations, in the mouth pops, crunch, wholesome umami and everything else before, in-between and after.
No further words can describe the evening, save to say that it is one we will never forget.
Thank you to the whole amazing team.
To any one reading this, if you have not experienced Le Coin – then we suggest you do.
What an amazing food experience! We cannot wait to go back again. The attention to detail and the flavours of the food was some of the best we have ever experienced. All the dishes were fantastic, but the langoustine dish was to die for!
Beautiful and inventive dishes are paired with great local wines in this romantic setting. The service was amazing with well paced courses and attentive servers.
