Protégé Dinner Special: R795 for 3 Courses
An early dinner in winter is a wonderful thing.
By Inside Guide • 04 June 2026
In Franschhoek’s Le Quartier Français, Protégé’s early-dinner winter special is perfect for indulging in top-notch comfort food (and leaving enough time later in the evening for fireside snuggling). From renowned chef-proprietor Scot Kirton (of the La Colombe Group), this restaurant, as its name implies, provides talented young chefs with an opportunity to hone their skills. Currently at the helm in the open kitchen is chef Andrew Willemse, who deftly pairs bold flavours with passion. The winter menu consists of three (or two) courses with options for each; think Korean fried chicken with prawn, corn and tom yum, or lamb rump with pea vierge and salsa verde. There’s wild boar fat with the bread course, among other delights, while dessert is a toss-up between boerenkaas with pear or a pudding with guava and hibiscus.
Good to know If you’d prefer an à la carte small-plates lunch, you can add bottomless Graham Beck cap classique for R495 per person.
