The Venue
Lunch might be over when the distant orange-pink mountains change their
hue. But that doesn’t mean you have to leave.
Take a seat overlooking the Rickety Bridge vineyards. Sip a glassful of crisp estate wine and enjoy a delicious lunch while drinking in the splendour of the magnificent surroundings. Every creation from our team of talented chefs is given extra zest by the striking beauty of the setting and stunning views of the Franschhoek mountains.
Rickety Bridge is an enchanting Franschhoek wine estate that earns its
place in the Cape’s cuisine capital. Franschhoek is home to some
of the best restaurants in South Africa.
The Restaurant in the Vines has made way for Paullina's, named in honour
of the original owner of the property in 1797, Paullina de Villiers.
In keeping with current culinary trends, the restaurant features a variety
of half and full portions of its exciting bistro style menu, allowing
diners the opportunity to sample and share dishes.
Executive chef Melissa Bruyns (previously at Haute Cabriere and Westin
Grand) explains: “the half portions are larger than a conventional
tapas serving, so ideal for sharing, or having as a starter. I believe
in using fresh seasonal ingredients, and letting them speak for themselves,
beautifully prepared and presented, but without over-elaboration. We have
planted a herb and vegetable garden on Rickety Bridge to ensure that I
have plenty to work with”
“Favourites include the seafood risotto (served with braised fennel
and topped with Café de Paris butter and pecorino), crisp pork
belly (with fried greens, wasabi mash and sweet chilli and ginger sauce),
chicken and tiger prawn coconut curry (served with fragrant Jasmine rice)
and salmon trout fish cakes.
Some of the dishes are served as main portions only, for example the Springbok
carpaccio, line fish, gourmet burger and char grilled beef fillet.
Paullina's is open for lunch seven days a week.
The restaurant spills out from a cosy thatched area onto decks with views
over the vineyards and mountains. Umbrellas and a Bedouin tent provide
cover and shade
