With views to die for and a laidback free-spirited vibe, Country Grand is the talk of the town.
Tucked away at the top of a quiet Franschhoek road you’ll find the latest buzzing hotspot from the Grand Collection. This effortlessly cool and elegant venue has pride of place at the Dieu Donné wine estate, with sweeping views over the gorgeous Franschhoek landscape. It brings an atmosphere of casual decadence and bare-footed opulence, where boho-chic meets retro-romance- fit for the worldly traveller and diner.
Perfect location
Franschhoek lies in of the most beautiful wine valleys in the world, just 45 minutes from Cape Town and within half an hour of the Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington, and Somerset West wine routes. Originally known as the Valley of the Huguenots, many of the wine farms still bear their original French names.
Dieu Donné, the new home of Country Grand, is a prime example. Translated as “A gift from God”, the name could not be more fitting. With panoramic views of the Franschhoek valley, neighbouring Stellenbosch and Drakenstein mountain ranges, the quiet creeks and vast vineyards of Dieu Donné bode the perfect sanctuary for this unique Countryside Café.
On the menu
Offering a premium food and lifestyle experience, the Country Grand team is passionate about culture and community, and as such the menu features an abundance of produce from local farmers and food artisans. Diners will find delicious pizzas, pastas and salads on the menu, as well as a variety of opulent grills and seafood dishes.
Start your meal with either oysters, mussels, sashimi, or beef tartare – served with whipped tahini feta – and move on to Fillet Béarnaise, Sugar Salmon or decadent Grand Wagyu Burger. For those with a sweet tooth, the Chocolate Pot is the perfect ending to a memorable meal.
