Eleven restaurant is redefining fine dining in Franschhoek with an exciting new tasting menu and an à la carte selection featuring irresistible snacks and side dishes. The fresh additions gives guests more freedom to curate their own culinary journey.
Taking its name from the address on the historic town’s main road of Huguenot Street, Eleven offers global contemporary cuisine in a chic, relaxed setting with a hyper-seasonal approach to the menu design built around sustainably produced ingredients.
Every journey starts with a great snack
The snack menu comprises a choice of fresh oysters with apple, nuac cham foam, coriander and puffed rice; a fish croquette with curry mayonnaise, a kimchi tartlet with sweet and sour gel, and a delectable duck liver taco with stone fruit gel.
Starters can either be enjoyed as part of the snack option, or as the splendid introduction to a glorious meal. Explore tastes of the world through dishes such as mozzarella served with basil, confit tomato, balsamic and pumpkin seed; salmon ceviche with gazpacho, jalapeno, radish and summer herbs, or an aged beef tartar with chilli mayo, capers, a rice cracker and peanut.
The selection of main dishes on offer include pork agnolotti served with lemon cream, pancetta, sage and beurre noisette; and a delicious pan-seared yellowtail with tarragon, caponata and a micro salad.
Mouth -watering side dishes of authentic risotto, pomme puree butter or cauliflower and cheese complete the mains.
Round off a sublime meal with options like chocolate malt crѐme with coffee ice cream, sponge, meringue, vanilla; or a trio of cheeses.
A number of the a la carte dishes are available on the tasting menu, so this option, available with wine pairing too, allows the kitchen to present its curated meal as the pinnacle experience.
