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).

    Fantastic experience! Thomas was amazing, the food exceptional and they went out of their way to make our daughter's birthday extra special. Many thanks to all!

    Lovely lunch. Portions quite large so take a hearty appetite. But the 5 of us tried quite a few different things and everyone enjoyed their choices. Also can’t go wrong with the brut rose and the still rose!

    Always consistent and on point, whether for an event or business meeting. Food portions perfect. Presentation tasteful and refined. Clean white table cloths and serviettes, a big plus for me. Ambience lovely. Naturally, a beautiful wine selection. Others can take tips from De Grendel 😉 You never disappoint, therefore I can highly recommend 👌🏻👏🥂

    We thoroughly enjoyed the five course tasting/set menu. The service was impeccable and the food beautifully presented. The quality of the food was amazing and the chefs deserve a round of applause. All around great experience that we have already recommended to others.
