As the Franschhoek Valley shakes off its winter coat and bursts into bloom, La Petite Ferme is doing the same — one beautifully plated dish at a time.
This season, the kitchen is buzzing with new ideas, bold pairings, and fresh inspiration, all tied together in a spring menu that’s as lively as the view from the veranda.
It’s a menu that doesn’t just celebrate spring — it tastes like it.
🌸 The Prelude – Starters That Sing
Start strong with starters that are anything but shy.
-
Feather & Crunch brings panko-crusted confit spring chicken to the table, swimming in a smoked pea and coconut velouté, paired with a chilled glass of La Petite Ferme Rosé — bright, balanced, and unapologetically spring.
-
Feeling adventurous? The Savoury Safari Éclair delivers an unexpected twist on ostrich bobotie, refined and rich, made even bolder alongside the estate’s deep, spicy Shiraz.
🌿 The Crescendo – Mains That Hit Every Note
The main course lineup is where La Petite Ferme hits its stride — all flavour, no fluff.
-
The Karoo Lamb Two Ways leans into South African heritage with modern finesse, served with the estate’s flagship Verdict for full-bodied brilliance.
-
Prefer something from the sea? The Spice Shore seabass, crisped to perfection and plated with intention, finds its perfect match in the Barrel Fermented Chardonnay.
-
Plant-based palates won’t feel left out — the Harvest Ragout offers deep, earthy comfort paired with the floral charm of Viognier.
🍑 The Finale – Desserts That Deserve a Standing Ovation
Spring’s sweeter side comes through in a trio of showstoppers:
-
A Guava Affair brings tropical flair.
-
Golden Mango & Fennel plays with contrast and crunch.
-
Twilight Orchard is indulgent, nostalgic, and just the right amount of dreamy.
- Not a dessert person? Opt for the Curd & Crust — a curated collection of South African cheeses that pairs effortlessly with a crisp white or a bold red.
At La Petite Ferme, spring isn’t just a season — it’s a flavour profile. The estate’s wines don’t just sit alongside the dishes; they elevate them. Every plate is a love letter to local ingredients, seasonal nuance, and the joy of dining with a view.
Book your table, bring your appetite, and toast to spring — Franschhoek style. 🌿🍷
