  • We had the best honeymoon meal at Reuben’s! The beer battered hake and seafoood risotto were amazing but the chocolate brownie New York style cheesecake with blueberry ice cream was the stand out! The atmosphere and service were also so lovely! Highly recommend :)

  • Perfect and awesome evening. The "Josper" grilled Springbock Steak (medium-rare), I would die for , but wouldn't be a good Idea, because I could not try the seafood risotto next time‼ TRY IT!

  • Our first visit here and we were delighted with the amazing hospitality and professionalism of the staff, our waiter Claudius was exceptional. The food was outstanding, with local flavours and ingredients, it was so refreshing to get some South African interpretations of our favourite food. We’d never heard of Rueben but our hosts explained his history and rise to celebrity chef status and this restaurant showcases that success. We also found the price was very reasonable for such fine dining. Delighted to give this place five stars. Unfortunately some folks on other tables were complaining on slow service: this place prepares quality food and cooked to order. If you want “fast food” try McDonald’s!

  • No trip to Franschhoek is complete without a dinner in Reuben‘s. Fine dining food, served in a restaurant with a lovely ambience and wonderful service. Amazing! It’s the first reservation I make when I know I’m returning next year.

  • We were in Franchoekl because this is a culturally rich place famous for good food, very nice wine and fine art. The hospitality of this town is amazing. We came across a lot of people with the same intention as us. To look and see, to eat and enjoy, and also just to be there. We heard so many languages. Our food stop was Reuben's, the place of South Africa's famous chef Reuben Riffel. I don't know what took us so long to get to his restaurant. This man CAN. We had two different meals, my wife and daughter pork belly, and I fillet. I don't eat pork, but that meat looked so amazingly eatable, they pulled it apart. No meat to cut it. My fillet? The best I've ever had. The waiter who served us was Mike. He was friendly, self assured and really played host to us. When we completed our meal I asked him to bring the chef to our table in order to complement him. His name was Sandress and he's proud to be associated with his famous employer. The venue itself is a beautiful setting. The decor, what you expect of a place like that. Our experience? One word, AMAZING. Well done Reuben Riffel and team. Jy mag en jy kan.

  • The food is good, and the service is friendly and professional. Perhaps my expectation was too high but I wanted something that was going to be exceptional/ more memorable. The fish was a little dry and the chicken curry did not have as much kick as I expected. A few standard deserts are served.

  • Exceptional restaurant from the Maître d’ to the staff, the ambiance and the delicious food. This place filled up fast on a Sunday night. Bright festive interior and exterior dining. The Chef here is great!!

  • Reuben’s has been on my must-visit list for a while, and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a Women’s Day celebration. We enjoyed their incredible three-course winter set menu, which exceeded expectations. The atmosphere and ambiance were wonderful, but it was the exceptional food and attentive staff that truly made the experience memorable.
