Jonkershuis Constantia

Having just spent 3 weeks in South Africa, my wife and I agreed our meal at Jonkershuis Constantia was just about the best we had. As you can see from pictures - the arancini, tomato tart, and pork pasta were all exceptional, and although I didn't realise it at the time, ordering the signature 'governors reserve' to go with, was the perfect accompaniment. The story behind Groot Constantia is just great and having such a special meal there is a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Pure fulfillment at Jonkershuis Constantia! 🍷 The view over the lush, rolling vineyards of Groot Constantia is simply breathtaking and made the perfect backdrop for lunch. But the stars of the show were the food (absolutely amazing!) and the exceptional service from our wonderful waitress. A must-try is the Lady of Abundance wine—its bold, complex flavour is exactly what my palate needed. Highly, highly recommend! ​ #JonkershuisConstantia #GrootConstantia #CapeTownEats #Winelands #LadyOfAbundance #VineyardViews #CapeTownRestaurants #WineTasting

Excellent food, good wine selection, friendly service, nice views. Given that it's on the Groot Constantia estate you might think that it's a 'tourist factory' but definitely not. Plenty of tables too so I got seated no problem even on a busy Saturday lunchtime.

Jonkershuis is such a versatile spot — sometimes I come for a relaxed breakfast, other times for a wine tasting, and it’s always a great experience. The setting is beautiful, with plenty of space to enjoy being outdoors, and it has such a welcoming atmosphere. A lovely place to spend time whether you’re starting your day or winding down with a glass of wine

Absolutely amazing food – truly one of the best meals we’ve had in Cape Town. The setting is beautiful, nestled among the vineyards of Groot Constantia, and the atmosphere is both relaxed and welcoming. The highlight? The ostrich. Perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor – it was simply divine. Every dish was thoughtfully presented and delicious, showcasing quality ingredients and skillful preparation. The service was equally impressive: warm, genuine, and full of laughter. The staff added a personal touch, sharing jokes and making us feel completely at home. To top it all off, Jonkershuis offers exceptional value for money. This is a place that delivers world-class food and hospitality without the pretentiousness – just honest excellence in every bite and moment. Highly, highly recommended. We’ll definitely be back.

Great food and amazing atmosphere, with a lovely wine selection. However, the service could be improved—staff felt a bit rushed or inattentive. A bit more professionalism would make the experience perfect.

First visit to Jonkershuis Constantia. Service wS good. The Eggs Benedict highly recommended. Fresh and delicious. Beautiful setting.

Good fresh eggs and toast with earl gray tea, warming up by the fire place . Can only wish the tea was brewed instead of a tea bag and the coffee served hot! A walk among the vineyards takes u there, under the fresh morning breeze. The museum nearby opens at 10.00 am.
