This winter, Eleven Restaurant is giving keen diners a good excuse to drive out to Franschhoek for elevated cuisine with a playful and sustainable twist. Their winter tasting menu is an exceptional fusion of contemporary global cuisine inspired by bold themes.

What’s on the winter tasting menu at Eleven restaurant
This unassuming contemporary gem in the heart of Franschhoek is one of our favourite restaurants for elevated dining by the next generation of top talent.
Capitalising on familiar winter flavours and seasonal produce, Head Chef Pieter du Preez crafts a tasting menu that tempts with 11 courses. Expect delights such as oxtail risotto served with mascarpone, apple crackling and a perfect dash of lime oil for just the right amount of zest.
The remaining of the menu is accentuated by beautifully presented and creative expressions of slow-roasted pumpkin (with couscous, orange, burnt onion and gorgonzola); poached Cape bream, with fennel, saffron and vanilla; and, braised Angus brisket with truffled pomme puree, pickled cabbage and buchu jus.
Dessert leads to even more delight – this time with a devilishly decadent salted chocolate Cremeux; a lemon thyme panna cotta; or whipped brie, served with pecan nuts, tonka bean and caramelised pineapple. Vegetarian options feature on the menu as well.
