Here, you will find Jessica's Restaurant, where guests can enjoy a romantic candle-light dinner in this beautifully restored Victorian home dating back to the late 1800's. On Montagu's warm summer evenings, dinner are served under the stars - in a lush garden with terraces, wooden deck and water feature. This restaurant and home to Werner and Adele Joubert are full of antique furniture, old books and a Russ teddy bear here and there... the Montagu Association of Artists also uses these high walls for exhibiting original paintings throughout the year. OUR FOOD: From Chef Heinrich-Werner's kitchen you can expect wonderful food, created with artistic flair and an absolute attention to detail. At Jessica's we only use fresh and local ingredients, vegetables and herbs are picked fresh, and we are often spoiled by Rob (local here in town) with bags full of fresh produce from his garden. Heinrich-Werner's firm favorite on his menu must be the Ginger pickled Pork belly, served with home-made black pudding and smoked apple brandy ice cream, which of course he also makes himself. Then, there is his Springbok Loin cooked Sous Vide with home-made Spatzle and espresso jus. Desserts have much to offer like his chocolate drenched chocolate brownie or the vanilla consomme, but my favorite of course will be the Heinrich Pedro.. a layered dessert drink of Kahlua and rose syrup, the next one a Frangelico cream and then on top the Whiskey Dom Pedro, served with chocolate jellies and fruit caviar.... Jessica's also offers a Tasting Menu which includes dishes cooked Sous Vide - French for 'under vacuum' this cooking method intends to maintain the integrity and flavour of food. Werner's wine list consists of a collection of wonderful wines from the R62. He has done a lot of tasting and some of these cellars have been visited more than once... to find the perfect Merlot, Pinotage and Shiraz. His love for the nectar of the gods, is clearly shown in his wine menu! Owners Werner, Adele and Chef Heinrich-Werner will ensure that you have a memorable evening, where we will give you personal service and attention at all times. Jessica's Restaurant... where a passion for culinary excellence and carefully selected wines meet... * Dinner served daily from 18:30 Closed on Tuesdays during low season.
