Le Quartier Francais Location Map

Set in perfumed gardens with mountain views, Le Quartier Francais (the French Quarter) is a romantic boutique hotel situated in the very centre of  Franschhoek, in the heart of the Cape Winelands. The emphasis is on ultimate luxury and charm, combined with the priceless gift of privacy.

Peaceful scented gardens with strategically placed sculptures and a 10m swimming pool provide a relaxing area for guests to enjoy after exploring the surrounding Winelands. The hotel also offers complimentary bicycle hire for those wishing to explore and get fit at the same time.

Protégé is a casual fine dining style eatery at Le Quartier Français under the guidance of Scot Kirton, founder of the La Colombe group of which this restaurant is a member. This informal yet stylish restaurant is perfect for visitors seeking an eclectic dining experience, featuring stylish casual fare created by a series of talented young chefs with Asian, French, and Italian influences evident in the cuisine. Also at LQF is Épice - an intimate fine dining restaurant, serving an array of delectably curated dishes which take you on a spice journey. The fine-dining restaurant is headed by chef Charné Sampson (previously sous chef at La Colombe).

La Petite Colombe at sister property Leeu Estates offers diners the highest level of excellence, from service to exquisite multi-course lunches and dinners for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. During the day, floor to ceiling glass gives you the feeling of being in the surrounding vineyards.

The sophisticated suites and rooms are located in the gardens and feature the ultimate in luxury fittings, fabrics and finishes complemented by artworks by local artists.

The Auberge Rooms boast extra spacious seating areas and spectacular views of either the central courtyard and the swimming pool or the surrounding mountains. All feature en-suite bathrooms with both slipper baths and walk-in showers. The generous double-volume Grande Rooms are 50 square meters in size and have contemporary styled bathrooms.

The Petite Garden Suites look out onto their own secret corner garden, and the Pool and House Suites boast 80 square metres of space plus their own private walled garden and secluded pool. Each of the 110 square metre sumptuously decorated Four Quarters Suites are set around a private courtyard.

Finally there is a 3 bedroomed and a 4 bedroomed LQF Villa, each with their own private pool and full kitchen. The villas are both close to the bustling main street and provide a home away from home from which to explore the village and its many attractions.

Start TestimonialI was so sad we only got to stay at Le Quartier Francis 2 nights. I could have moved in there - the staff was great, breakfast was out of this world, and the entire place was one of the most charming places I have ever been.End Testimonial
