The dining area at La Residence is called The Great Hall – resplendent with dazzling chandeliers, black and white Victorian tiles, and vast fireplaces. Outside, the loggia and the Persian Alley offer a delightful setting for alfresco meals, overlooking the lush green lawn and palm fronds.

Of course, no dining table in Franschhoek would be complete without a carefully selected wine from the extensive wine list. Our wine stewards are on hand to offer advice or guide you through a food and wine pairing where we will select a wine that complements the flavour profile of the dishes you have chosen.

Join Executive Chef Greg Henderson on his culinary journey.

Award-winning chef Greg Henderson is also a self-described forager who takes great delight in discovering seasonal wild ingredients and incorporating these into his world-class dishes. He’s excited about the opportunity to work with the La Residence team to help them bring their traditional kitchen wisdom to life, and share their stories. Chef Greg is a leading light in the Wild Food Revolution – a movement he believes can transform our relationship with food, and help us all forge a deeper relationship with the Earth.
