Restaurant Review - Jordan Restaurant with George Jardine

By Jean-Pierre Rossouw
Food Critic

One of the first signature chef restaurants in the Cape Winelands, the Jordan Restaurant with George Jardine brings top chef George Jardine’s brand of contemporary fare from city to country. The focus on the flavours of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients is evident from his kitchen vegetable and herb garden to wine barrel fish smoker and wood-fired oven. Inspired by the surrounding dramatic landscape, Jardine creates smoky, smouldering country flavours on a contemporary plate.  A trip to the walk-in cheese room to select your own board of artisanal Cape farm cheeses with preserves and breads rounds off a spectacular meal.

Cool and contemporary, the restaurant features a tranquil terrace with stunning views overlooking the vineyards and lake next to the Jordan cellar and tasting room. 

Vintages from Jordan Wine Estate form the cornerstone of the restaurant’s wine list.  The Jordan Restaurant is also a showcase for exclusive vintages of the Jordan Wine Estate Cape Winemakers Guild wines, along with choice wines from other Stellenbosch wineries.

At the 2010 Eat Out Awards, The Jordan Restaurant, which is located on the Jordan Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, was rated as the third best restaurant in South Africa, selected from more than 3,000 restaurants.
