Le Quartier Français, South African restaurant
Le Quartier Français is a hotel in Franschhoek with restored heritage buildings holding 32 rooms and two independent villas decorated in French countryside style. The property features a pool in a garden with sculptures, two restaurants led by acclaimed chefs, and a spa area with fitness equipment.
The hotel was founded long ago as one of the first guest houses in Franschhoek, and the buildings are part of the town's history. In 2015, Leeu Collection acquired it and kept historic features during renovation to preserve the heritage.
The name blends French tradition with South African location, reflecting the region's connection to European winemaking heritage. Art and sculptures displayed throughout the grounds show how creativity shapes daily life in this place.
The accommodation sits centrally in town with many shops and walking routes nearby but stays quiet at night with little activity after dining. Families with children should note that the focus is on wine and cuisine with few activities available for younger guests.
A spa area was designed with treatments based on the Pinotage grape, a South African variety believed to have therapeutic properties and grown in local vineyards. This specialized approach directly links regional wine to wellness offerings.
