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.

    Thank you for an incredible winters afternoon out! We enjoyed the winters tasting menu special with a wine pairing and truly loved the overall pairing experience whilst looking out over the ever changing landscape of rain and sunshine. Chef Marthinus personally presented some of the dishes to us and our favourite dish was the springbok loin with Syrah. would recommend to everyone, especially when the weather allows for a garden stroll.

    I would like to extend a huge thank you to the team and chef at the Jordan Restaurant for allowing to experience in the words of my 9year old and my husband, "the best food they've ever tasted ". To the chef ,you are extremely talented and creative and so appreciative of the care put into our meal. I have alot of allergies and am vegetarian and you made 6 courses of delicious food for me, I never thought possible. Thank you to the entire team for making us feel welcome and cared for. A special mention to Keith. We will never forget the experience. Thank you.
