La Petite Colombe now open in Franschhoek

1 Aug 2017

La Colombe, in partnership with the owners of Leeu Collection, has opened La Petite Colombe in Franschhoek, replacing The Tasting Room at Le Quartier Français. Styled by architect Rohan Young and the Leeu Collection's interior designer, Beverley Boswell, the interiors are classic, with a modern-country accent.

Proprietor chefs and business partners, Scot Kirton (Eat Out Chef of the Year 2015) and head chef, James Gaag, will be directing a talented and select team to honour the heritage of the Le Quartier Français venue.

The Franschhoek kitchen will be headed up by La Colombe chef, John Norris-Rogers, who will be working side-by-side with chefs Scot and James.

The innovative eight and twelve-course tasting menus will welcome guests with a stylistic and flavour familiarity to that of the award-winning La Colombe, focusing on hand-picked local and seasonal produce, with recommended rare and fine wine selections.
