Restaurants

Miko

MIKO is our flagship restaurant. Impeccable 180-degree views over the Franschhoek valley and a stunning terrace surrounded by glass doors that can be closed when the weather does not play along, giving guests the feeling of an alfresco dining experience all year round. MIKO’s cuisine is best described as a taster to South African favourites - with a twist. We introduce guests to Cape Malay spices in our dishes as well as traditional South African fynbos flavour’s like Rooibos and Buchu. Childhood sweet treats like Sterri Stumpie and Meeboss can be enjoyed by those of all ages too! Each dish tells a story, meaning guests can experience a little slice of our South African memories.
The Country Kitchen

The Country Kitchen is Mont Rochelle's informal restaurant located just a short walk or a quick drive from the main hotel building and adjacent to our wine cellar. If you’re visiting the Country Kitchen for lunch or dinner, or if you’re off to the wine cellar just let us know and we’ll take you over in one of our vehicles.

Directions

From Cape Town International Airport:

Follow the exit signs at the airport to the N2 highway traveling away from central Cape Town towards Somerset West
After 2 miles take the exit marked R300 on your left which will connect you to the N1 highway towards Paarl/Worcester
Take exit 47, which is sign posted for Klapmuts/Stellenbosch/Wellington and follow the directions below

Leaving Cape Town:

Once you leave the city look for the N1 highway and then head west from Cape Town towards Paarl/Worcester. Once you have joined the N1 follow it for roughly 40km
Take exit 47, which is sign posted for Klapmuts/Stellenbosch/Wellington
Turn right onto the R44 in the direction of Stellenbosch. Butterfly World will be on your left.
Pass through a traffic light and then you’ll cross a bridge over the railway. After 300m turn left onto the R45 which is sign posted for Franschhoek – follow this road for almost 9km passing wine estates Glen Carlou, Rupert & Rothschild and later Vrede & Lust
This road comes to a natural end at a T-junction just after you’ve crossed a disused railway. Turn right onto the R45 signposted to Franschhoek (two strands of the same road merge here)
You will now drive towards Franschhoek – roughly 18km – through an area called Simondium, passing L’Ormarins and later La Motte wine estates
As you reach the center of Franschhoek Village, turn right into Bordeaux Street (you’ll first pass Kruger and De Larey Streets on the right) and follow that road – from this point Mont Rochelle is sign posted
At the bottom of Bordeaux Street carry on straight as the road veers to the left – this is a short section of Cabriere Street, and then turn right onto Daniel Hugo Street. Keep following the signs to Mont Rochelle Hotel & Vineyard – you’ve got just over a kilometer to go!
You’ve now arrived at Mont Rochelle!
