Fine dining
Along with formal training in Europe, Chef Nicolene Barrow worked at the world-famous Le Gavroche Restaurant in London before setting up Orangerie at Le Lude. Here classical French cuisine is presented with a contemporary twist; the purist, disciplined approach of the European masters combined with a hint of individual, modern creativity where what is on the plate is presented as looking as good as it tastes. A seasonal menu offers the finest, freshest ingredients picked from the herb garden found in the forests, meadows, mountains, and seas of the Cape, resulting in a selection of dishes offered in an environment conducive to making permanent Franschhoek memories.
