exceptional meal! My husband had delectable carpaccio over thinly sliced avocado as his starter and moved on to Kingklip served over kale with white beans. The fish was perfectly cooked and paired. I had mussels in parchment steamed in coconut milk laced with lemon grass. My lamb entre was a selection of different parts of the lamb; loin, rack, leg... more

My wife and I went to dine at Jardines for a little celebration. It was certainly not a fine dining experience and the atmosphere was a little reminiscent of a busy and noisy bistro. The staff were attentive and informative, but the main reason for the visit was the food and that was only impressive in fits and starts. The... more

Trendy (bordering on the informal) yet very very good food, Michelin stars-type. The food is mainly Mediterranean-inspired. The service is impeccable. My travelling companion, who has a wine cellar of over 3000 bottles, loved the wine list.

We arrived with a number of misconceptions about this restaurant. What it is not is a swanky, sophisticated restaurant with beautiful decor and other fine dining features.

Great tasting menu, good value with accompanying wines. Get a heads up on some lesser known vineyards before heading off ot the winelands. more

pleasant staff nice surroundings very busy but very slow service rather put off by watching chef lick his sauce spoon after serving up each meal and most times putting it straight back into the saucepan without washing it! more

My family had dinner here on a humid summer night where there was no air conditioning working so it wasn't so comfortable sitting for a meal with somewhat slow service from the kitchen no less. The menu is creative and they shine well on a variety of light, and very flavorful appetizers, but when it comes to the main entrees... more

Visited the Jardine on the 14th of March - our last night in Cape Town. It was a great experience! Romantic atmosphere and delicious food. We had the tasting menu with paired wine. The waiters and the sommelier were very professional and friendly. (We learned a lot abouth South African Wines!) A foodexperience that we will not forget. Dont miss... more

Ate here on the 21st February for my husband's 60th birthday. We were greeted with a glass of champagne each then started on the chef's tasting menu - this is normally 7 courses but they gave us an extra one - ice-cream with a candle in it! We also opted for the wine pairings and didn't regret it - the... more
