One of the first signature chef restaurants in the Cape Winelands, Jordan Restaurant brought Chef George Jardine’s brand of contemporary fare from city to country in 2009.

We are excited to announce that Marthinus Ferreira, of Dw eleven – 13 in Johannesburg, has taken over the management of The Jordan Restaurant, taking over from Chef George Jardine. The signature restaurant will trade under the name The Jordan Restaurant with Marthinus Ferreira.

Marthinus Ferreira has helped shape the South African food scene, with his flair for food gastronomy inspired by his childhood favourites and influences from abroad, having worked with some of the world’s top chefs, including Chef Gordon Ramsay & Chef Heston Blumenthal.

Gourmet Guide™ Description

Here, the outside comes in with expansive views of the lake and vineyards that are purely paintable. And so are the plates… Chef Marthinus Ferreira’s contemporary, sophisticated dining is premium. Dishes are flavourful, and sauces sublime. He’s a chef who has embraced the art of classical French cooking, infused with tastes gleaned from other European destinations.

Take a leap and order the tasting menu, as you’ll find it hard to choose from the à la carte; each plate has its own appeal. The bread course alone is a veritable feast, with merlot butter, a spinach salad oozing umami, olives, and a miniature version of a Greek salad served on a cucumber slice – all in the spirit of giving.

Mains are all drawcards, with the confit pork belly accompanied by pommes purée, buttered radish, fermented apple, remoulade, cranberry ketchup, and morel pork jus being a standout. All meals complement the array of premium Jordan wines on offer and others, creating a companionable dining experience that celebrates the place and its produce.

    Es ist laut im Restaurant, es fehlt die Schalldämmung. Kann sein wenn Verglasung Richtung Wasser offen ist dass der Pegel tiefer ist.

    We had a lovely lunch at Jordan’s. To start with the view! Beautiful! The chef's menu was fantastic and surprising. We also opted for the wine pairing, and that was perfect too! The service was excellent; in short, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Beautiful setting and service was fantastic. Desserts weren't as refined as the other dishes.

    Extrêmement décevant, pas étonnant que le restaurant soit à moitié vide alors que la plus part soient plein pour plusieurs semaines à venir. Servir en entrée dix petits bols avec des raisins, d autres avec des olives une salade avec un tas de chips par dessus, c est ça la cuisine, du bœuf à mastiquer et couper en petits morceaux pour que ça passe, au dessert une crème glacée sans goût et granuleuse. Le vin on est chez Jordan, on nous a servi des fonds de verre de vins sans saveur. Tout ça pour près de 5,000.00 R.. Il y a plein d excellents restaurants ailleurs.
