Le Quartier Français
Found at the foot of South Africa's stunning Franschhoek Mountains, the beautiful setting of boutique hotel Le Quartier Francais is matched only by the sublime food that emerges from the forward-thinking kitchen of its flagship restaurant, The Tasting Room. Offering a four-, six- or eight-course option, Margot Janse's constantly evolving culinary creations include the likes of Foie Gras and Sultana Mousse with Pain D'épice Brioche, Rhubarb and Beetroot Jelly, or Vichyssoise and Norwegian Salmon Terrine with Fennel Marmalade.
Behind the stove:
Executive Chef Margot Janse
What they say:
"If there's a special something behind the success of this gem, it must be sheer, unadulterated love. Margot Janse delights with sense-dazzling dishes that taste less conceptual than they appear on paper." Eat Out Magazine, South Africa

Not a lot of people know that:
