What people say about Eleven Restaurant
A culinary journey where all taste buds are catered for. Eleven courses in the Eleven Restaurant and each course was an incomparable delicacy in itself. Upscale price range that is worth every ZAR and receives the highest praise from us for the food/cuisine, service and ambience.
We looking forward to our next culinary jouney with the Eleven
A great location, on the main Franschhoek drag, that allows al fresco as well as interior dining. The menu was extensive, 8 courses, I might be wrong! That’s a lot for lunch but, portions weren’t too big and we were not in a hurry. The meal is all about flavours, most courses were delicious and memorable. I wouldn’t...

That’s a lot for lunch but, portions weren’t too big and we were not in a hurry. The meal is all about flavours, most courses were delicious and memorable. I wouldn’t say it was one style or another as Asian flavours sat well with European and South African. It’s just great food, flavours and value. Leave a space!!

About Eleven Restaurant
Cuisine: Contemporary
For some, eleven is the mystical character of spiritual awakening. Indeed, this is the underscoring of a dream now made reality by globe-trotting chef-proprietor Ryan Shell and the team at Oku and Yama restaurants in Franschhoek.
Taking its name from the address on the historic town’s main road of Huguenot Street, Eleven will offer global contemporary cuisine inspired by big themes. Here, in a chic, relaxed setting, industrial design employing wood, raw brick and burnt copper melds with the finesse of delicate flavours and extaoridinary wineswhite linen tablecloths and tall, slender candles. Furniture made by Cape artisans talks of heritage infusing the contemporary.
“Eleven is the culmination of a dream,” says Ryan. “It embodies something completely new for Franschhoek – a town I’ve really come to love. When the prominent location at the address became available, I knew we had to jump and make the dream a reality.”
The restaurant is a concept inspired by the sum of Ryan’s experience gathered at premier eateries in the UK and several of Southern Africa’s five-star properties including top restaurants of the Cape.
It will be the third in Franschhoek undertaken by the team behind pioneering Asian restaurants – Ōku and Yama Asian Eatery, which opened in 2020 to widespread acclaim. On TripAdvisor, both Ōku and Yama hold a rating of 5/5.
Eleven is situated a very short distance from both, at a high street junction renowned for having been home over the years to a string of Franschhoek’s defining restaurants.
