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).

    We've been coming to your restaurant for so many years, and everything is simply perfect. From A to Z, the service, the food, the ambiance, everything is just wonderful. But this time we were very disappointed with the service. She just talked and talked and talked the whole time, and kept hearing herself talk. It was very unpleasant and annoying.

    The online booking asked for a sum in advance, which was payed. The bill, after having dined, did not show this sum….. We had to express this to the waiter . He took action, however ….
