Gourmet Guide Description
Stellenbosch’s Old Post Office building is where chef Jess van Dyk has found her home, drawing a loyal following of locals who adore her abundant style, along with discerning visitors. A gentle nod to the building’s heritage is reflected in small details, such as the leather envelope that opens to reveal a concise and enticing menu of small plates for lunch, with dinner being a more serious affair. The friendly waiting team will guide you to choose four to six plates per couple, or select one and let this gifted chef complete the quartet for you. There’s a carefully thought-out wine list showcasing the surrounds, and an option of corkage for one bottle only.
Jess’s talent lies in creating food that packs big flavours into diminutive dishes. Her pork lollipops exemplify this: crispy, sticky pork belly with a doenjang glaze and a charred spring onion dip. Asian undertones ensure an umami-rich experience like the miso yaki kingklip served with an Asian noodle salad, XO dressing, miso corn butter, and a peanut butter crisp, or the steamed prawn dumplings with a moreish Thai coconut curry, black cardamom, cashew furikake and curry leaf. Not only vegetarians love the Bombay butternut – roasted butternut with plum tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, chilli chutney, burrata, curry leaves, and sourdough.
