JD Bistro and Wines is a family-owned and run business that was established in 2004 by Jean and Renee Daneel.

Jean is involved in the wine farm with their son, Jean-Pierre, who is a winemaker, while Renee’s passion for hospitality is clearly reflected in JD Bistro which she and her son, chef Marchand, run.

JD Bistro

The menu at JD Bistro is inspired by the fresh ingredients that chef Marchand sources locally, wherever possible.

Menu

Innovative dishes are served according to availability so be prepared for an exciting deviation from the standard à la carte menu. 

Chef Marchand focuses on South African dishes that include only the finest ingredients such as locally sourced Grade-A lamb, freshwater salmon, ocean-fresh seafood and organically grown vegetables sourced from the JD Bistro veggie-patch.

Wine List 

Other than a superb selection of Jean Daneel wines, JD Bistro’s wine list has been carefully put together to include wines from some of South Africa’s top wine estates. 

Deli / Bakery

 A small selection of freshly baked bread, aromatic coffee, hot chocolate and condiments are on sale so that you can take the JD Bistro experience home.

“A well-deserved 5-stars! I rarely give five stars, but this breakfast ticked all the boxes. The corn fritters were light and filled with cheese. The freshly baked bread from the brick oven was to die for. We will definitely have to go again to try the main menu which looks interesting.” Christo K, GoogleReviews
“An amazing setting with amazing staff and a great owner! I loved the food and decor. Definitely an upmarket experience.” The Barn, GoogleReviews
