This is Franschhoek's hidden little gem. Forget those other pubs who try to impress with their overly priced dishes that lack flavor (and hospitality).
Taki's is good food served in a vibey atmosphere. Sure, it is a family friendly pub. But it is far above the rest. The owner is a delight and always comes to greet our table. He is so sweet. I've only been there twice and never experienced better service in my life. Our waiter remembered what wine I liked! 🍷 Quite impressive.
I've eaten their pizza and their seafood basket 🍕🍤 -loved both meals and finished everything on my plate. Recommend this place for a bite to eat. It is great value for money, especially when you don't feel like paying fine dining prices.
I don't usually go to restaurant's that include a pub but nevertheless, I tried Takis out as my boyfriend and I were both starving and happened to walk past at the right time.
Was a bit skeptical at first, as I feared we might wait long since there was only one waitress serving at the time. But the service was surprisingly good considering the restaurant was quite full. Decided to go with safe options on the menu. Ordered a burger and my boyfriend had a pizza, along with dessert after you share. Both mains were done perfectly.
I was also a big fan of the cosy set up. Was quite a cold day and the warm fire going in the background had us staying longer than expected.

Don't be fooled by the simple, bar-like decor. Although much of the trade done here is from the bar, the restaurant itself is warm and friendly, and the food is surprisingly good. No frills, just a good, hearty meal and although the service isn't the fastest, the staff are all so friendly and accommodating that it really didn't bother me.
Great atmosphere. Draught beer & local wines. Fantastic food. Don't go if you want fast foods. Mandy & Catherine rock as waitresses. Local is Lekker 😀
I went there today with my husband and daughter. The food didn't take long to arrive and absolutely enjoyed it. I ordered the sirloin, steak was done perfect. My husband wasn't hungry and ordered the chicken strips because it was on the menu as a light meal. He thought he was going to get a few strips but got a plate full. The interior is not appealing but the food is great. I'd rather come here than Col cachio which is not worth it.
Excellent late afternoon lunch- Bobotie and wine where excellent.friendly staff will call again
Franschhoek has a glossy side that all the tourists come to see but then their is a secret world hiding in plain site that only the locals know about. And I think Taki's is their godfather. Walking down the main road, all you see is the unassuming stoep with people having a drink. But if you step inside, their is a whole different world of generous people waiting to welcome you in. All the shops had music blaring but none at Taki's, their buzz came from people sharing stories and laughs. Who knows, next time I might actually have something to eat as well.
Casual and unpretentious dining with friendly staff and a good variety of pub food, some with a Greek influence.
A pub in Franschoek SOUTH AFRICA my brothers local had several good nights here
The staff were very friendly and the bobotie was amazing!
Food was good. Waitress friendly and good price
Had lunch here. Moussaka was really delicious as was the side Greek salad. Staff was very friendly. Enjoyed it so much, we went back later the same evening for drinks.
We had a lovely time at Taki's. The food was good and the prices were very reasonable. Thank you to our waitress Catherine for her friendly service. Our experience would have been perfect if tje manager acknowledged us on our way out. He seemed to be to busy on his phone.
The waitresses were super friendly and efficient. My partner and I had drinks and a pizza. The pizza was superb and delicious. Prices are cost effective on food and drinks. I highly recommend an hour or two here. Cheers!!!
Highly recommended!
We had the most delicious lamb shanks!!! The owner, owners son and personnel are all very friendly, professional and caring. Thank you for a lovely evening!
We'll be back!
