Review La Petite France - Howick

Set on a working farm in the natal midlands, the views at the cafe are gorgeous! Looking over the farm and cattle in the fields, it's so peaceful and away from the city noises. The cheese and other treats available are my favourite. I go there to stock up my stash. From jams to Brie, yoghurts to ice cream, pickles, and breads. Well worth the visit! Great coffee and lunch menu. Our best lunch is the bacon and Brie on sourdough 👌 with a hot, delicious cuppacino!

Rustic little fromagerie. Good cheese and friendly service. They organised a little cheese tasting while we were having coffees. Since it is based in the barn, bring something warm!

Small little Dairy/cheese farm. Had a lovely platter of cheese and biscuites! They do not take cards which almost left us redfaced as we dont normaly cary cash! Was dissapointed that the did not offer tours to see how the cheese is made. Very small amount of stock of cheeses for sale eventhough we visited in high season.

Great cheeses , yogurts , condiments, and much more. Lovely views

We had the most delicious cheese lunch in delightful surroundings. Situated on a working dairy farm it is relaxed with such a friendly and passionate owner! To start we all shared a baked Brie with garlic and rosemary served with cut veggies and gorgeous baguette. After that we each had baguette with more brie, bacon and cranberry. When we sat down we were given water with lemon and a tiny bowl of delicious cheese (can't remember the name?) Such a very yummy lunch!

We've been there twice and both times Caroline went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The second time we arrived five minutes before closing time and we were still served a delicious cheese platter with hot bread. You do need to take enough cash as there are no credit card facilities. The service is friendly, the food is ideal if you adore cheese.

Lovely working farm, truely unique experience. After visiting the farm we noticed their dairy/cheese products in local grocery stores and we are now hooked. We were a group of close to 30 who held a Birthday coffee & scones party at the farm and the owner was very accommodating and she and her staff provided excellent service.

Beautiful Midlands farm experience. Excellent cheese and home to the special Karkloof Farmers Market.

It's unlikely you will get a much better cheese experience in South Africa with the best quality, locally produced range of cheeses, made within metres of the cows in the pastures. Wonderful cafe with delicious preserves, condiments and #terbadore roasted coffee.

The farm butter is certainly the real Mcoy. The milk still has real cream on top. The coffee was excellent and the cheeses are good. Well worth a visit if you find yourself anywhere near Howick.

This was my first time at La Petite France Cheesery. The owner is pleasant and is clearly passionate about what she does. It's definitely worth the trip if you are in the Howick area, I did not find it much cheaper than the cheese they supply the local supermarkets.

We loved our Sunday visit! Warm hospitality, great coffee and a very yummy cheese platter. Everything is fresh and home grown. We'll be back for sure ♡

I haven't been to the farm, I live in Cape Town. Can anyone please tell me where to buy their superb Tilsiter in Cape Town? My local SAPR recently stopped stocking it.

Excellent cheese, delicious handmade condense milk, friendly service and it's very affordable. We'll definitely stop their again when we're in the area.

Unique lunch experience served by friendly folks. Lovely cheese and good coffee.We enjoyed it very much!

Such a friendly crew. Great lunch at an unusual place - oh, yes - & their cheeses are deilcious!

Quiet country cafe with own range of cheeses. Great coffee and personal service guaranteed

Good coffee in a very relaxed atmosphere with great views and needless to say fantastic cheese!
