BISTRO AT GRANDE PROVENCE

The Bistro is a casual, yet contemporary eatery and the perfect destination for anyone in pursuit of a top-tier Cape wine farm experience but with meals taken in a more relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.

Having said that, it doesn’t compromise luxury for accessibility, and we found the service exceptional, the tables beautifully decked, and the décor striking the perfect balance between casual and sophisticated.

Our Head Chef Marvin Robyn designed an easy style simplistic menu that caters for all.

The inside the Bistro feels like an extension of the wine estate, beaming with natural light and open space. True to its nature, the ambiance of the Bistro is relaxed and tranquil. The vineyards and garden surround the Bistro, making it ideal for parents with young kids. Children can play ion the Jungle Gym in a safe area whilst the adults eat and drink merrily.

The Bistro at Grande Provence Franschhoek is just next door to the garden sculpture, gallery, and outdoor wine tasting area. Children are welcome to play along the open grass area.

With laid back, unpretentious decor, the food is exactly that. Farm fresh produce and Bistro-style dishes are just what your taste buds are dying for. If you are after wholesome, freshly made gourmet fare, then you will be pleasantly surprised.

    This was a great disappointment. The website pictures shows beautiful setting for the picnics - we were placed on a piece of bad grass, at the back, under the air conditioner outlet with a gate as our view, next to children's playground - and told to "find our own space". I specifically stated that this is for a very special birthday. We were given 2 blankets and 2 pillows and told to lay out our own picnic. I will NEVER go to grand provence again nor recommend it. In fact I am telling everybody to not believe the website pictures. The person serving us was very friendly.

    Grande Provence Bistro responded on Thu 13 Mar 25:
    Good day Anita, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to Grande Provence Estate. I am sorry to hear the experience was not up to your expectations. Our picnics are designed as a self-serve informal lunch option, and seating is available at your own preference anywhere on the estate, including the Jonkershuis lawns on the other side, which is away from the children’s area. It is disappointing that our team did not give you clear information on the day, and this will be addressed with the serving staff. I will ensure that your feedback is passed on to the team so they can communicate more clearly to our future guests. Regards, Grande Provence Estate Reservations

    Quite noisy with many wine tram customers milling around. But the food and the service was excellent. Great lunch.
