“ Don't underestimate this little gem. Phenomenal food with really friendly, welcoming service. Thoroughly enjoyed everything, but didn't realize the one dessert was goats cheese XD so check first if you don't like the taste... ”
“ Jewells Restaurant offers a stunning view over the Paarl-Franschhoek Valley, perfectly complemented by its minimalist decor. The food is incredible, and the service is top-notch. We enjoyed a charcuterie board with delectable meats, especially the standout chakalaka sausage and bresoala. The burgers with fermented lettuce were juicy and delicious, while the potato risotto with Gruyère was absolutely mouthwatering. The chicken tagine was an explosion of flavors. It's clear that the chef is passionate about the food served, making the dining experience truly exceptional. Highly recommended! ”
“ I think a hidden restaurant at Spice Route. If you looking for fine dining then this is the place. Starts were delicious I had the spiced prawns which was delicious. The wonton chicken was also delicious but the prawns was better. For mains I had the fish with shrimp mash and a delicious sauce drizzled over the plate. A small portion so advise any main please order a side. The pork belly was good but not filling. The board was nice and generous for an extra R50 you can add some fresh bread. Wine selections are great. Service was good and view was amazing. I think if I really want to splurge then I would come again but not in a rush. ”
“ I had the most incredible meal today. I ate everything my plate. It was the best meal I've had in ages. This is by far my most favorite restaurant now and I'll definitely be back . The flavors, the service, the ambience- 10 out of 10! ”
“ Excellent restaurant that produces interesting and original dishes. The kiddies menu is creative and offers the children a great experience. The chef even changed the menu to cater for our lactose intolerant grandson. I loved the roasted vegetables and panisse! Really beautiful food! ”
“ This restaurant is my favourite at the Spice Route. It offers a chic but casual dining experience. We had 2-courses during the restaurant week edition. Although the wait time between each course was long, the presentation was impressive and the food was delicious. ”
“ The staff was very friendly, welcoming and efficient. We were received with beautiful warm smiles and served with the same warmth throughout our meals. The food was delicious and the views spectacular. ”
