Frommer's Exceptional

For years this has been considered by many to be the best in Franschhoek -- and in this haute cuisine environment, that takes some doing. To focus more exclusively on her innovative flavor combinations, executive chef Margo Janse has now separated the restaurant into two sections: iCi, the more laid-back bistro-style restaurant serving delicious but relatively simple meals (marinated lamb burger; wood-fired free-range chicken; conti duck with schordalia), and the Tasting Room, where she flexes her award-winning capabilities (voted Best Restaurant in the Middle East & Africa by Restaurant magazine in 2005). Here the dinner-only menu changes daily, and guests can choose from a four- (R310/$43/£22), six- (R390/$54/£28), or eight-course (R500/$69/£36) meal that showcases her passion for culinary innovation.
