FOOD
Jonkershuis Restaurant
Jonkershuis Constantia is nestled in the traditional heart of the Groot Constantia Wine Estate next to the historic Homestead and surrounded by ancient oak trees.
The Jonkershuis eatery boasts a diversity of locations from private banqueting grandeur, to intimate interior fire side dining, from typical Italian village gatherings in our courtyard to family style lunches next to the front lawns, where children can safely play, reminiscent of a bygone era.
Jonkershuis is conscious of the origin, sustainability and the ethical content of all the food we prepare, as well as reflecting the rich Cape Malay heritage of our “home”, which lends a magical and old world charm to any occasion held here.
