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).

    This beautiful wine estate overlooking Cape Town is a true highlight. The setting alone is breathtaking, with stunning views that make the experience unforgettable. The food is prepared with great care and attention to detail — simply delicious. The service is first-class: very attentive, professional, and impressively personal. They even remember the preferences you mentioned during previous visits. Simply outstanding and truly exceptional.
