Reuben's Restaurant & Bar Franschhoek

Our first visit here and we were delighted with the amazing hospitality and professionalism of the staff, our waiter Claudius was exceptional. The food was outstanding, with local flavours and ingredients, it was so refreshing to get some South African interpretations of our favourite food. We’d never heard of Rueben but our hosts explained his history and rise to celebrity chef status and this restaurant showcases that success. We also found the price was very reasonable for such fine dining. Delighted to give this place five stars. Unfortunately some folks on other tables were complaining on slow service: this place prepares quality food and cooked to order. If you want “fast food” try McDonald’s! 🙄

Had a good evening here with my family. The staff were very friendly and professional and were accommodating of our young baby. There was actually lots of families with young children at Reuben's this evening. They provided us with a high chair and we never felt a nuisance. Food and service was great. And pricing is very reasonable.

The food is good, and the service is friendly and professional. Perhaps my expectation was too high but I wanted something that was going to be exceptional/ more memorable. The fish was a little dry and the chicken curry did not have as much kick as I expected. A few standard deserts are served.

This is a fun busy lively place. The service was very good. There was a long wait for food but our waiter kept us informed. The food was enjoyable but not outstanding. Overall though we had a lovely visit and we would recommend.

Five star experience! The service, the food and the atmosphere was incredible. We will recommend you the Belly Pork, was delicious :)

Happy returning customers. We last came in Feb 2023 with friends and have returned just the two of us because we loved it so much last year. Food is still of a brilliant high standard, thank you Reuben’s. A lovely caprese salad and steak tartar to start with the complimentary bread from the chef. My seafood risotto was 5* - so garlicky but just enough. My husband loved his curry. We didn’t have dessert as too full but overall a lovely 5* dinner with very nice service. We will always be back as long as it stays the same!

I eat out quite often, and today I tried your food. — and I must say, it did not disappoint! The food was not only beautifully presented, but also fresh, flavourful, and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail was evident in every dish, and the staff were just lovely — warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. What truly surprised me was how affordable it was. You get top-quality food at a very decent price, which is rare these days. Well done to the team at Reuben's. I’ll definitely be back! 👏🍴

We had a very nice meal with our toddler. The staff was super friendly. Food was fantastic. Recommended to anyone visiting the winelands.
