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).

    From the time of making the booking until arriving Renate was incredible! The hospitality shown and professionalism was truly outstanding! The farm tour was delightful and even more so because of Douglas and his expertise and love of the farm! The dinner was most definitely a 5 star culinary experience and the wine, needless to say, was outstanding! De Grendel was such a huge part in making our meeting such a gigantic success and certainly left a lasting impression on our guests.

    Helga was a consummate professional in explaining the finer details of their delicious wines. Thabo service in the restaurant was on point and had a great sense of humour. He was an absolute pleasure and the reason we would come back for a repeat visit. We are locals and not tourists
