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.

    The food is very well presented. Each plate is an art work. Some dishes are very special and one has to like them.

    Location, Location, Location Jordan winery and restaurant offers a sublime Boland wine experience. A beautiful facility with gardens and views to die for. We were a party of 18 colleagues served with the Taste menu (a fine dining experience) in a private room annexed to the main restaurant - a perfect option. The maître die organized the event perfectly and enough waiters were serving patrons. I understand from the true fine diners in our party that the meal was exquisite. For the full sized male diners the meal was not quite filling. It was quite a bother that some wines were only available one or two bottles off, hence we had to hop between wine options on the menu. The waiter also seemed to over served mineral water to the diners. The total cost could be considered pricey but it needs to be offset against the location and service levels of a top class institution affording an unforgettable experience.

    It started wrong with the bubbles which was brought to the table when the first starter was already there inclusive the wine from the arrangement? So we sent the bottle back. Food was perfect and the wine also but the quantity was below average and certainly not in relationship with the charged price.
