My husband and I had lunch at Reuben's in March. The service was personal and probably the best we have ever received. I had the salmon main and my husband had the liver. My husband was not blown away by his food, however he did say it was tasty. My salmon was to die for, aesthetically pleasing and cooked to... More

I don't know if I was just very hungry but last night's dinner was something very special! Both our starters was perfect winter food, I had the chicken livers, my spouse had the mushroom soup. Halfway through the dish we swapped, we simply had to taste both. I had the pork belly as a main course, absolutely devine. The best... More

Just love this place. Our starters was amazing, and my husbands main course spectacular- duck with pommes purée.....mmmmh, yummy! I ordered vegetarian pasta that was a bit overpowered by a sour tasting cheese. Win some, lose some. We will definitely be back. Felt comfortable enough to kick my shoes off.

The starters and mains were all beautifully cooked with lovely flavours. The service was excellent. However the desserts were average and the chocolate dessert was heavy and very disappointing.

Reuben's came highly recommended to us as a must see on our trip from Australia to Franschhoek in May 2013. The restaurant has all the atmosphere you can imagine and the food is of a great quality. Prices are reasonable and staff were extremely friendly. Love the bar, but be careful where you rest your drinks. Highly recommended if you... More

I had lovely soup at Reuben's in Franchhoek yesterday. a lovely setting- pretty wrought iron chairs and table on a patio overlooking the main street of this quaint and picturesque town, 45 minutes outside Cape Town. I had a French Onion soup, that came with grated cheese and croutons on the side. All very tasty but the croutons were bland.... More

To be recommended. The food is creative, tasty and delightfully fresh. Tantalizing choice of menu. Great selection of wines. Fireside, a warm touch to a slightly clinical atmosphere.

I have been to Reubens before and was so excited to go back. I was gutted when my steak was over cooked and my gratin potatos were cold in the middle. The staff didnt look like they would have cared. My pudding tho was amazing so not all bad. Next time tho I would try another restaurant

This was not the rave experience we had been expecting, but was nonetheless good, and a good setting for business entertaining.
