L’ami Family Brasserie invites friends and families to enjoy each other’s company while sharing delicious food and wine that not only honour La Motte’s French heritage, but also local traditions in a modern and informal way.

An A la Carte menu is served for lunch from Wednesday to Saturday as well as for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. This seasonal menu celebrates the concept of farm to table and focuses on locally sourced ingredients and honest flavours with elements of open-fire cooking. It also offers options for children.

Guests are invited into the spacious and relaxed indoor restaurant or to enjoy the estate gardens and the ambience of the age-old oaks from the wrap-around stoep.

The wine list concentrates on La Motte wines available at cellar door pricing, but also presents South Africa’s lovely diversity with a selection of local wines as well as some European favourites.

    I would also give 6 stars for service and ambience. A very lovely place has been created again. I enjoyed it as much as the old restaurants years before. I will be back again from Germany.

    What an incredibly beautiful spot! The food was delicious and the service outstanding - the only 2 let downs were the leaking roof (just the occasional splash) on the outdoor patio and the incredibly noisy table of 4 next to us which wasn't L'Ami's fault but nonetheless put a damper on the occasion. We will definitely be back!

    It was all wonderful! A place where the deterioration of quality and service does not take place!
