The evening was a lucent journey in cuisine. Each dish was delish. The service was fantastic and everyone was so freindly
The food was excellent and very good value for money. We had the 4-course Kaiseki menu as part of the Restaurant week. Every dish was excellent - there were lots of dishes! We will definitely recommend this restaurant and very soon go there again.
Delightful
Love the asian take on fine dining
The desert was disappointing, but overall the dining experience was good. The pork belly was AMAZING!!! A little expensive for the tasting menu option during restaurant week, but I would definitely recommend Oku to friends.

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.
