La Colombe opens at Le Quartier Français in 2017
Leeu Collection has announced that the La Colombe Restuarant team will open a new restaurant, yet to be named, at Le Quartier Français, Franschhoek in August 2017.
This new venture will replace The Tasting Room, as executive chef Margot Janse, who has been at the helm of The Tasting Room for the past 12 years, announced her resignation recently. This new venture will complement La Colombe and be driven by chef Scot Kirton and head chef James Gaag.

La Colombe’s accolades
A striving for culinary perfection combined with industry leading service has garnered La Colombe the 2016 Eat Out Nespresso Service Excellence Award with Scot Kirton, chef proprietor named as the 2015 Eat Out San Pellegrino Chef of the Year. La Colombe was also recently ranked 76 in the top 100 restaurants in the world, and features amongst the top three restaurants in South Africa.
“We immediately saw the synergy between Constantia and Franschhoek,” says Scot Kirton. “Both the Franschhoek and Constantia Valleys are tourism destinations of world-renown; offering only the best wine and gourmet experiences South Africa has to offer. We look forward to the journey and working with the team at Le Quartier Français to jointly develop a world class culinary experience.”
