About Habibi

Tagines, mezze and mint tea under the lanterns.

Habibi is the Moroccan table at Eaton Place — the courtyard on Franschhoek’s main road, opposite the Wine Tram, where several kitchens sit side by side.

Morocco meets the Levant. Harira and mezze to begin, cold and hot; tagines and couscous from the slow fire; Moroccan sweets and mint tea to finish.

Lunch and dinner through the week, and one long service on Saturday and Sunday.
