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).

    We are enjoying your exceptional food and wine and beautiful setting for more than 20 years now. First time dinner since Chef David is there - and it was perfect.

    Jessica was very helpful with information about the choices we decided upon. I had the seared tuna starter and for the main, beef fillet and both were perfect! My colleague had the Pork belly starter and the Line fish for the main also excellent choice!

    As always, the restaurant impresses with its very friendly staff, excellent wine and food, and the most beautiful location for watching the sunset. We'll be back again and again. Luky

    We had the best time celebrating our first wedding anniversary at De Grendel Restaurant. We did the amazing taster menu and it was so lovely. Thank you De Grendel, we will see you soon again.
