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).

    It was a pleasant evening. The portion size was small for what you pay. For forgein tourists the prices might be ok but I thought it was quite high. The problem is you eat well but when you go home you must prepare something to eat....

    We were promised a nice table for our Special celebration. But then Thea offered us a table near the door, which was the worst in the room. Fortunately we got. a better one After complaining.

    What a lovely experience we had at De Grendel. It was my husbands birthday and they went out of their way to spoil him. Each dish was properly explained to us and our choice was an easy one. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion!

    Renate made planning for my 40th a breeze. She was clear in her emails and everything delivered on the day. Vinoteque is an amazing venue, love how we could play soft music and have laughs without worrying about disturbing people. The food is a 10/10!

    Salmon starter was a mere assemblance of ingredients. Cheeseboard was very disappointing.
