Menu

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).

    A hiccup or two in the service, but that didn't take away from the fantastic food and wine, and having the best table! Thank you for being central to making the best memories

    Ralph is superb and honestly beyond world class. He was very attentive, didn't miss a beat, witty, informative and a world class server. Thank you. The entire experience was superb and thank you for making my Dad's 80th extra special with the last finishing touch!

    A well established restaurant with excellent, knowledgeable, service. Menu offers good value and there are distant views of table mountain. We were impressed.
