This is by far the most favourite place that we come to every year!
It s setting alone is quite stunning and then as you drive up to the beautiful old buidings the gardens and restaurant with endless vines and the working farm great you!
This place is what I call a real wine farma pleasure to visit at all times.
The reataurant is a delight great food and service breakfast lunch or dinner it never lets you down inside or outside old world charm excellent service and great food make it a winning combination.
I do not usually like places where coaches arrive every half hour or so but its such a vast terrain that there is room for everyone and of course there is the wine tasting at the bottom of the drive.
No visit would be complete without a visit to this stunning building full of art and wines to taste.
In all it gets 5 stars for being one of the best experiences in the Cape!
Excellent service. Beautiful setting. Have recently started running in Groot Constantia as of Monday. Decided to refresh after our run. We were welcomed. We had our dog with us. He was welcomed too. Without asking, the friendly staff brought him a bowl of water (which I even offered to pay for due to our water crisis) and once again tonight, (We last ran there on Monday) they even remembered us, and once again water bowl was down before we even asked. Sadly we could not stay for dinner, but our eyes drooled over the menu. Definitely will be back for dinner. Often places that cater for tourists, the staff are sullen and indifferent. Not so with Jonkershuis. Attentive staff, excellent service and from chatting to a few people there, the food is great too. A great venue. Highly recommended!
A short summary of a lovely day out recently and meal here..
Food:
To start, the fresh tuna salad:
cos, Avocado, fennel, dill, pickled cucumber, sprouts, olives, fresh citrus, vinaigrette.
Tasty, fresh and healthy..
Then it was onto some Cape Malay for mains..
For me, it is impossible to come to the Cape and not sample some proudly South African Cape Malay food..
As such, I chose the recommended Estate Tasting Plate showcasing bobotie, chicken & lamb curry, samosas, savoury rice, poppadums, and squash.
This dish really is all about local spices and flavours, and is served with traditional sambals. Delicious!
Full review to follow..
Beautiful scenery, ordered beef burgers and they were delicious!
Really worth the price (considering the prices of most burgers these days, even fast food).
The beef patty's were cooked to perfection and tasted like really good handmade patty's.
The staff were not too helpful in the beginning but nothing too bad considering they might have been quite busy, and when we were tended to it was a very pleasant and friendly interaction.
Had a lovely Sunday lunch here at Jonkershuis. Great food and wine list, as well as lovely service.
I decided to give my mom an early mothers day gift by taking her to breakfast at Jonkerhuis. What a wonderful morning. The Waitrons were friendly and efficient. Our breakfasts were delicious, beautifully presented and certainly more than enough to please our empty tummies😁
The food and wine here is really good. I had a sirloin steak which was done perfectly. I'm a fan of sweet drinks so I had the Groot Constatia Grand Constance. If you enjoy sweet wines, this one is honey sweet. I really enjoed it. The atmosphere is nice as there's huge trees around, unfortunately you don't get the view of the vineyeard from here. An overall good lunch. I won't go out of my way to visit again, but if you do visit Groot Constantia and you're hungry it's a nice spot.
This is my favourite place to have Pork Belly. It's really beautiful! I can't fault that dish. Scenery outside speaks for itself. My only critique would be the staff. Service is slow and often have to call someone to assist us
Best cheese and charcuterie board iv had in Cape Town. It's a must! You can combine a single meat and single cheese platter to make a perfect board for two.
Decided to cash in my entertainer voucher here and boy was I super happy!
We ordered wine from the estate, duh - and went straight into mains. Our choices were the ribeye served with béarnaise sauce, rainbow baby carrots and fried potato cubes as well as the kudu fillet served with oriental mushrooms, croquettes, rainbow baby carrots laid on top of pumpkin (or butternut) mash.
Although the steak was good, the kudu fillet was out of this world! Everything on the kudu plate just worked so well together. I got such food envy! Would highly recommend this dish. Was somewhat disappointed that my steak was drenched in the béarnaise sauce - would’ve preferred this to be brought out separately so that I could use as per my taste. But the béarnaise was made amazingly well!
Lucky enough to find a table outside to admire the views of the vineyard and False Bay in the distance. The venue is just sublime on a summers day.
Will definitely return.
Went to jonkershuis with my daughter today. Awesome just cos I was with her... But ok, lemme get to the place.. Called on the last minute and luckily they had a lunch space open for us in the Court yard. She had the vegetarian curry, I had carpaccio and beef samoosas... And wine. Pretty nice. Maybe cos the company was awesome but yes, the food was good too.. And omw the VIEW!! How awesome a place to have on my flippen doorstep!! Yay! A definite "do again". A day ro remember. Thanks, jonkershuis! Happy capetonian. Xx
Wonderful setting with old charm. Very busy for breakfast. Food was lovely, fresh scones, mushroom and pouched egg. Preserve’s highlight def marmalade! Coffee the only let down , cold upon arrival.
Highly recommended! We had Very delicious fish, salad, different wines and chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was perfect, especially the super friendly stuff. Many thanks
Great venue to enjoy a relaxing meal in a beautiful venue. The outside tables are great with spacious surrounds of lawns with oak trees. I hadn't been to jonkershuis since the original owners had it many years ago. Was pleased to see that they have a good number of vegan choices. The food quality and presentation is excellent, although prices are definitely aimed at the foreigners. The staff were great too. Highly recommend.
Gorgeous and lovely experience at the wine estate. Enjoyed the array of wines. I'd easily visit again and again. It gets a bit chilly at night
Restaurant is absolutely stunning and staff were amazing. Good food and great wine. Courtyard unfortunately gets quite hot and noisy when full but otherwise was really lovely.
An absolutely wonderful restaurant, amazing food , wonderful service and great views! You cannot ask for more. We loved every bit of the time spent here. Absolutely with a visit if you come to the groot vineyard!
Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted really good. We were quite a large party of 24 and everyone complemented the food. Best cheesecake! Portions were also great. Drinks were great and the servers were so attentive and helpful. The surroundings were beautiful and well kept... fantastic atmosphere which is perfect for adults while being kid and dog friendly. Well worth a visit.

Picked your restaurant to introduce friends from overseas to some Cape Malay cuisine a few weeks ago. Your bobotie was divine. Pork belly is one of the best I've tried in the neighborhood. I got the tasting platter with hot bowls of chicken and lamb curry, which were really good! Also a nice intro for one of my guests to the South African fave red wine - pinotage. Overall, a really excellent dining experience! Thank you 💯❤Just my 2 cents to the management on the tray boards - the hot bowl of chicken curry slid off the board and it partly spilled onto my guest's pants before dropping to the floor. Quite a mess. It was replaced promptly and two waiters apologised profusely. But maybe those wooden boards should rather be put on the table then waiters bring the hot plates/tubs on a tray. The boards have no borders and have no grip to keep those hot bowls from sliding off. I hate to waste good food that way. But I am more concerned a guest could be hurt or burned quite badly if the hot bowls dropped onto him/her entirely. That or redesign the boards to prevent accidents. Something to think about.
What a wonderful place for breakfast. Nestled in the vineyards in a historical setting. Great place to eat. There are also lots of walks and trails in the surroundings.
Amazing place full of history, one of the best South African wines matched with lots of delicacies
A family friendly space! Great food. Perfect for birthdays and celebrations especially in the summer. Lots of grass for little ones to run around. Then you can take a walk after a delicious meal and enjoy the great views.
