Nestled along the bustling main road of Franschhoek, Tuk Tuk Microbrewery & Bistro is the town’s only microbrewery—a visible and aromatic landmark where guests can watch craft beers being brewed right before their eyes. The restaurant’s industrial-style interior, with vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, and copper and stainless-steel piping, creates a cozy yet edgy atmosphere.
