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).

    I was disappointed because 1 .on Sunday l experience bad diarrhoea and stomach pains . During the previous day l consumed only toast and marmalade.2. The lamb had no potatoes or vegetables to speak of.3. The enclosed dining room was very noisey. In the past we ate in the ? Atrium with fine views. ( my nephew had the lamb with no side effects. I was the only one to have the Camembert starter. ? The culprit) In the past we have enjoyed greatly our celebratory meals. Dr. William Smith.

    We were at De Grendel for a meal and wine about 8/9 years ago and was not impressed at all by the quality and taste of the food. We took a leap of faith last night for our anniversary and were blown away. We will definitely be back for wine tasting and the 3 course meal Thank you team De Grendel
