We had an excellent lunch at L’Ami Family Brasserie at La Motte Wine Estate, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience from start to finish. The beautiful location and elegant facilities immediately set the tone for a relaxed and memorable meal, and the setting is certainly one of the highlights of dining here. The menu offers a good selection of options, with enough variety to suit different tastes. I opted for the venison, which was particularly enjoyable and beautifully prepared. It was definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The dessert was also lovely and provided a very satisfying finish to what was an excellent lunch overall. The only small point I would mention is that some of the portions felt a little on the smaller side, particularly considering the overall dining experience. That said, the quality of the food was very good, and we thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. The service was truly top notch. From the very beginning, the communication was excellent — even the initial email enquiries and booking process were handled smoothly and professionally. Everything was well organised before we even arrived, and the same level of attentiveness continued throughout our lunch. The staff were friendly, efficient, and made us feel very well looked after. The facilities and location are also beautiful. Being situated within La Motte Wine Estate, surrounded by the scenery of the Franschhoek Winelands, makes the restaurant an especially pleasant place to spend an afternoon. It is the kind of setting where you can take your time, enjoy a good meal, and appreciate the surroundings. Overall, L’Ami Family Brasserie delivered a wonderful lunch experience. Excellent service, a good range of food, a beautifully prepared venison dish, a lovely dessert, and a fantastic setting all came together to make it a very enjoyable visit. The smooth communication and booking process were an added bonus and showed the level of care that goes into the guest experience. A beautiful restaurant in a beautiful location, with genuinely excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would happily return when we’re next at La Motte.

Everything about this place is amazing, from the venue to the food and the attention. The food is amazing and would definitely recommend it. For sure one of the best restaurants in Franschoek

We had an experience that truly went beyond 5 stars at L'Ami Family Brasserie. We celebrated four birthdays on the 18th of April, and from the moment we were warmly greeted to our final bite of dessert (and the sweetest Happy Birthday song), every detail was handled with such care and thoughtfulness. It’s a day we’ll never forget. The food was absolutely exceptional!!!!! We ordered a variety of dishes, which we ended stealing bites from each other hehehe and every single one was incredibly scrumptious and worth every penny. A special mention must go to our wonderful server, Chrizanne. She kept us entertained throughout, was so knowledgeable, and brought such genuine joy, humour, and kindness to our table. She truly made the experience even more memorable and one we will never forget!!! La Motte and all it's offerings is one NOT to be missed!!!!! Thank you for making our celebration so incredibly special, we’ll definitely be back! P.s the restaurant in itself is stunning however the bathrooms feel like you've entered the spa and the gardens are something of pure beauty!

We visited L’Ami for a milestone family birthday. It was a great experience. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive and remembered us from a few weeks back. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. We had the farm sausage, cheese croquettes and oysters to start (shared amongst 4 people) and the main courses were linefish, ribeye steaks with mushroom sauce and trout. We also had the Sandveld potatoes as a side dish. All the dishes were exceptional. It was a very memorable experience and I can’t wait to return. If you have the chance I would definitely recommend a meal here.

Excellent new restaurant at La Motte. The menu is mouthwatering and you want to try everything. Excellent staff and attention to detail everywhere. Dishes all beautifully presented but not overly fussy, well cooked and taste great.
