Enjoy our contemporary Cape Town cuisine, designed to complement our range of De Grendel wines (available at cellar door prices from De Grendel Restaurant).

Our menu is based on classic, locally sourced ingredients, served in creative flavour combinations and served with a an inventive, modern edge.

The simple menu changes every day according to availability of ingredients.

Farm produce, from honey and yoghurt to guinea fowl and pasture-raised beef and lamb; organic vegetables, such as kohlrabi and Jerusalem artichokes.

Youll also find some new dishes never before seen on a local menu like Brandy & Coke ice-cream, liquid popcorn and more.

We like to surprise our guests, thats why youll find that our menu lists only the ingredients with no indication of how your meal will be prepared or which ingredients dominate (of course, if you ask, well gladly tell you more).

    As always, De Grendel Wine and Restaurant exceeded expectations in terms of service, charm and vegan food options. Add magnificent views, and a group of besties, and it is the very best of days, celebrating three birthdays and a graduation. Someone grinched about the carrot risotto here recently, which I think I have had here, and thoroughly enjoyed, however….. Chef David Wilson made magic for the vegans, and everyone else was very happy with their meals. Superb service, exquisite food beautifully served, a magical day with THAT view. We are so very spoiled in Cape Town. My gripe? I love lentils. When I see lentil risotto on the menu I expect, and want to see, rice! The dish was superb, but no, barley, lentils, bulgar or anything else doth not risotto make. Still, a very definite 10/10 from me!
