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).

    Best waiter (Tyrique), food was absolutely divine with the chef's all making the food with smiles and only positive feedback from me and my wife. We have been going to DE Grendel Wine Estate every year with our wedding anniversary and every year we are gobsmacked with the phenomenal service, kindness and passion for food and wine.

    We had a beautiful lunch - the team were super helpful and knowledgable. Thank you to Matthew for a brilliant wine tasting and the lovely Fiona for looking after us at lunch. It’s always a great experience!
