The food, service and ambience was beyond my expectations. The restaurant menu really allows you to taste a lot of things on the menu - and so worth the money. Definitely returning!

What an enjoyable experience! Definitely different food compared to the run of the mill dishes. Each dish a real taste sensation and beautifully presented. Definitely worth every the price. Staff were also extremely attentive without being in ones face. We spent a delightful, relaxed afternoon and were not rushed....

What an enjoyable experience! Definitely different food compared to the run of the mill dishes. Each dish a real taste sensation and beautifully presented. Definitely worth every the price. Staff were also extremely attentive without being in ones face. We spent a delightful, relaxed afternoon and were not rushed. If you book a table, it is yours for the sitting and the staff are not in a hurry to get you out of the restaurant. Oku will definitely see us again.

About Ōku

Cuisine: Japanese / Sushi, Vegetarian

Oku Franschhoek’s first Asian eatery

The highly anticipated opening of Ōku, the concept and vision of Chef/restaurateur duo Ryan Shell and Darren Badenhorst (Le coin Français, Le chêne and Tuk Tuk Microbrewery), is here.

The two acclaimed chefs, with over 30 years of hospitality experience, are pooling their culinary prowess to create Franschhoek’s first South East Asian eatery.

Total renovations of the interior and exterior ensure a purpose designed space to create a casual, calming and refined eating experience.

Conceptualised on a culinary exploration of Indonesia in 2013, Darren and Ryan were especially inspired by the Gili Islands.

The two chefs had ample time to refine the idea whilst working together to feed the Franschhoek community during the Covid-19 lock down period, resulting in a thoroughly conceptualised, authentic and flavour packed food and beverage offering.

Bookings essential to avoid disappointment.
