This past weekend a small group of us were blessed to visit Franschoek, and even more privileged to have dinner at Le Coin.

As Master Chef fans, this turned out to be an experience that was beyond incredible. Chef Marcus personally attended to us when delivering his amazing tuna under a glass filled dome smoked with wine barrel wood chips.

Walter throughout the evening was informative, accommodating, and his gentle knowledgeable style of explaining each dish was tops.

Shane, resident sommelier, was equally amazing in his unobtrusive style of elegantly providing refills without us even noticing. His overall and local knowledge of wines is highly commendable.

Overall this was a pilgrimage of food, taste sensations, in the mouth pops, crunch, wholesome umami and everything else before, in-between and after.

No further words can describe the evening, save to say that it is one we will never forget.

Thank you to the whole amazing team.

To any one reading this, if you have not experienced Le Coin – then we suggest you do.

What an amazing food experience! We cannot wait to go back again. The attention to detail and the flavours of the food was some of the best we have ever experienced. All the dishes were fantastic, but the langoustine dish was to die for!
