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).

    Food was much less and not as good than previous visits. We weren’t aware the bar was closing and wanted to order another glass however were told it was not possible.

    Carol and I went for lunch on August 28th. We were treated like royalty and, as well as the 3 course meal, were invited to try 2 new additions to the menu. Carol had the confit duck leg, and I had the lamb. Both were exceptional. We also thought that the starter of camembert souffle, gorgonzola mousse and figs was outstanding. Anyone who does not visit De Grendel is missing an absolute treat.
