If you are ever on the south coast you need to have dinner here. It was so delicious and very reasonably priced. The oysters were incredible...the fish, muscle pot, snails a total win. Great wine list. All in all a very good night out.

In the heart of Scottburgh lies this fine cuisine restaurant called " The Frenchman "with great views, excellent service, and excellent food, I highly recommend this restaurant. Value for money, enjoyed watching the whales having fun in the water while sipping away on a glass of white wine.

In one word - Fantastic!Excellent hospitality from Julien and friendly and professional service from Tracy. From start to finish we had an excellent dining experience.The food was really the best that I have had! The meal from our starters to our desserts were well prepared and plated perfectly. The french onion soup was simply superb and balanced beautifully with its flavour. As for our steaks!! No words can do them justice, served with crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Then crepes for dessert serenaded in an orange sauce with vanilla icecream - magnificent.Pet friendly, our little dog was given chilled water in a bowl and a very special treat from Julien.Verdict - a very well deserved 5 STARS!

I celebrated my birthday there. The atmosphere was to die for. Plain simple, but with white table cloths and serviettes. Soft French music in the background. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food; oh the food! I loved it. I had the Kingklip special which was out of this world and the desert did not disappoint either. The chef came by to say hello. All and all; a great restaurant. I will definitely be back.
