What light through yonder window breaks?


Due to the recent electricity shortage well-lit moments are, for most people, few and far between in Cape Winelands, South Africa. This is however not the case at Le Quartier Français. You see they have their very own generator that keeps the lights burning bright, the water piping hot and the air conditioners humming in spite of inconvenient power cuts.
Regardless of what is going on in the outside world they always do their utmost to ensure that your Le Quartier Français experience is one you'll treasure forever.

Bread Baking Classes


We've all be told that a person shouldn't play with their food. At the award winning Bread & Wine vineyard restaurant, on Môreson Farm, LQF is constantly dispelling this archaic myth through their very own popular bread baking courses.
During each day-long course you'll be taught how to have fun with food, making magic in any kitchen. The courses are all fully booked and the first opening is on the 17th of May. If you're interested go to http://vipvillas.com/ and go to Cape Winelands in South Africa to detail the restaurant.
