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.

    We went for the Wednesday steak special - and we got much more than we bargained for - delicious food with extra treats from the kitchen in a beautiful setting! Thanks team Jordan - we will definitely be back!

    The dishes were very unremarkable in flavour. Poor value for money compared to other restaurants. The service was very inexperienced.

    VERY SAD TO SEE THE SERVICE AND STANDARDS DROP. WE ARE REGULARS TO THE ESTATE AND I HOLD THE TEAM IN VERY HIGH ESTEEM, BUT THIS PAST SATURDAY SEEMS TO BE AN OFF DAY WITH NO SENIOR TEAM MEMBERS AROUND AND IT SHOWED. STILL LOVE THE LOCATION, BUT THEY NEED TO BE CAREFUL.

    Jordan Restaurant used to be one of Stellenbosch's top restaurants with George Jardine at the helm. It is a wonderful place with a wide view and good wines. But since he left also our recent lunch was disappointing again. As a starter we choose the unusual combination of a tiny crayfish with smoked duck was a bit ordinary, the lentils and corn "fricassee" being the higlight. As a main I had the Roasted Kabeljou, which was the worst kabeljou ever eaten. More or less tasteless but leaving a bitter after taste. The sirloin was okay but not extraordinary. Same with the Chocolate Cremeux and the Panna Cotta as dessert. All in all disappointing
