There is nothing like a familiar welcome to create an atmosphere of warmth, a sense of coming home, and of good things prepared with love.
The Lust Bistro & Bakery enfolds you with that feeling of belonging that fills up your senses with satisfaction. Cradled in the folds of the peaceful Vrede en Lust wine estate in Franschhoek, the Lust Bistro & Bakery entices one’s surroundings with the tantalising aromas of freshly baked artisan bread – imaginative creations of Jean Pierre Smith, patron chef and baker extraordinaire whose lunchtime chalkboard presents a constantly intriguing invitation of discovery.
There is something for everyone from breakfast to late lunch: salads crisp with dew-fresh seasonal garden produce, cakes just out of the oven, cheese and charcuterie platters boasting South African specialties, and mouthwatering chicken and beef dishes all exquisitely presented. The Lust Bistro & Bakery is an experience you do not want to miss.
Booking is essential for Lust Bistro’s Sunday Buffet lunch where Jean Pierre takes the hearth oven through its paces with a selection of slow-cooked roasts.
Free Wi-Fi makes Lust Bistro a great spot to conduct a business meeting or to spend the afternoon working off-site. If it feels like a home away from home, it’s probably because the original Vrede en Lust manor family kitchen inspired the décor.
Pop in for an early bird breakfast or a late morning coffee, grab a light snack, or linger over a bistro lunch and discover why Lust Bistro has become one of Franschhoek’s favorite places to meet and eat.
