This restaurant never disappoints me, usually I go for weekends lunch. This time was breakfast, and the Florentine Benedict was delicious. The restaurant is beautiful and the location is unique. Take your time to walk around the garden and farm museum.

After a delicious wine tasting in Groot Constantia, this was the restaurant I stumbled into for a hot meal on a cold day. I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli and it was delicious! Food came very quickly and was consumed even faster. Its located in a great spot.

So we booked 20 minutes before we got there. When we got there the manager accommodated us very well under the circumstances. I ordered the chicken breast curry and damn that was so good.

I made a reservation on 21st July for Sunday 1st August....only to arrive and not find my name on the list! We were however accommodated. It was a birthday lunch treat for a friend so I wanted everything to be perfect. Compliments to the chef and the amazing waitress! The food was amazing as was the service. Unfortunately I did not get the young ladys name, but am sure management can check on which table we were seated at. With her impeccable manners she will go far. We will definitely be back.

We had a group function. Choice of avo or scrambled egg and bacon on sourdough toast. The toast was so tough, everyone in the group had a problem slicing their toast and dried to a crisp bacon. It really was an unpleasant breakfast. The decadent chocolate nemise1s was devine!!!

Jonkershuis restaurant although situated in one of the most beautiful settings in Cape Town, manages to disappoint on more levels than one.The waiter forgot multiple things throughout the service from drinks to starters.Then we move on to mains, in my excitement I ordered the 28 day dry aged sirloin and asked for it to be done medium rare. The first steak I was given was well done, immediately upon showing this to the waiter it was taken away for replacement. I thought to myself, I am hungry but Id rather wait for the steak the way I ordered it.Out comes the replacement steak about 20 minutes later, unfortunately they must have been really really scared of over cooking this one as it was rare bordering on blue in parts. I was hungry so I ate the parts of it which were not blue and kept the rest to show the waiter if/when he shows up again. Upon his return when I presented the barely cooked piece of meat to him he shrugged and said oh sorry about that. No offer to replace it, no offer to take the steak off the bill, not even a sincere apology.Something else to note - both steaks looked like they were many days past their prime. Also the sear left much to be desired and was something that youd expect has been done by an amateur home cook rather than a professional chef!My only regret is that I didnt take a picture of the food to share with all of you

Under the oak trees with a view of False Bay is the lovely Jonkershuis. Inside are fireplaces, while outside its ample place for children and dogs. As its at the oldest wine farm in South Africa, you can go for a stroll around the estate after your lunch

Yum food, good service...But, completely overpriced. Not value for money. You cant charge 5 star prices because of the setting. No table cloths, just raw tressel tables, not even sanitized, and washing up cloth for napkins. Too expensive for the very inexpensive setting, even though we had a booking. Wont be rushing back.

I LOVED my steak! My entire experience at Groot Constantia was thoroughly enjoyable. You might see a baboon or two while dining outside during lunch. If the baboons happen to swipe your plate of food, the restaurant will happily make you a fresh plate at no extra charge. Now thats service! Loved it!

Jonkershuis is such a gorgeous, atmospheric restaurant located in a historic building on Groot Constantia estate. The history practically seeps from the walls and its terrace of ancient oaks (with vineyard views) is simply magical. The food and service is top notch: honest, real, simply delicious, and proudly South African. I havent had a meal there that has sent me home anything less than satisfied. Wine? Groot Constantia of course!

The view over the vineyards is stunning. Fortunately we got a window seat as the outside seating was booked out early. The food was good but I expected more. Great coffee and good service. I will definitely go again and make more time to take a walk as the surrounds are well worth spending time there.

Great place overall for Sunday lunch or I guess any day of the weekThe setting is amazing. The service is top notch. The food is to die for. The network on your mobile phone non existent and the WiFi is free but does not work! Was looking forward to give 5 starts but in this day and age to not have good strong(free) working WiFi is a definite fail. The Groot Constantia Wines on the menu was the most expensive on the menu??? Yet we are on the farm that is producing the wine? I am not sure that is the right approach? Other than a few issues it is a mind blowing experience.

This is one exceptional restaurant with a great breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. Quite honestly a well thought out menu with varied not too many over kill options but enough for all customers. The vegan options are particularly great too. However the menu with great starters to the main and desert is mind blowing good. The food is a culinary delight with great taste and for sure the ambience is amazing. Good service, friendly staff and of course great wine choices. Expect to pay about $17 upward per person for a great experience. Highly recommended this place.

A hostile hostess and over-priced average food.Honestly, what an outdated menu. The hostess was abrupt and terribly unfriendly toward us and some other elderly ladies enquiring about a table. The portions were not great and a bit bland (fusilli and caesar salad).Great news is that its dog-friendly and if you have Tenji as your waitress you might just have a nice time after all.

Outstanding quality of food. Everything we ordered was beyond delicious. We actually came back twice on the same day, first for lunch then for the dessert. The restautant is huge and perfect for a cosy meal for two or for a group get together. All staff that served us were really helpful. Service was quite quick, we managed to order, eat and pay for lunch in 40mins.

Sitting outside makes for a beautiful setting for breakfast or lunch.Visited twice recently.Lunch was great - service, food and ambience, even with a light drizzle, couldnt be faulted. So much so my brother was ready to visit again the following week.We did breakfast 2nd time around - service not quite as on point, but still a pleasant meal, this time with sunshine.

Delicious food, but not really creative, and it didnt look like all that much effort was put in despite the price. Also the building was nice inside, but we had no view at all.
