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).

    Sent my parents for dinner for their wedding anniversary. It was their first dinner at Degrendel and they really enjoyed it. From the amazing Wonton amuse bouche, to the pork belly starter and lamb rack and yellow tail mains. The staff also surprised them with something a little extra for their anniversary.

    Always a fabulous experience at De Grendel, enticing us to come back again and again, when in Cape Town. Highly recommend the Proposal Hill Cap Classique Brut Rosé.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time at De Grendel Restuarant. The set menu was excellent, with a wide choice for all tastes and palates. The wine pairing is also excellent, at affordable prices

    A Truly Unforgettable 70th Celebration at De Grendel From the very first planning conversation with Renate, we knew we were in the best hands. Her professionalism, warmth, and meticulous attention to detail set the tone for what became an unforgettable event. The venue itself was absolutely breathtaking — elegant, serene, and with views that are simply unmatched. The setup on the day was nothing short of perfection: classy, sophisticated, and thoughtfully arranged to the last detail. The food was sublime — every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. But what truly stood out was the service. Every member of the De Grendel team went above and beyond to ensure my dad’s 70th birthday was a joyous and seamless celebration. Thank you to Renate and the entire team for making it such a special and memorable occasion. We couldn’t have asked for more. — With heartfelt gratitude from our family
