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 had a very enjoyable evening at the De Grendel restaurant. The food was excellent, the service friendly and attentive yet unobtrusive and the view from the restaurant was stunning both before and after sunset. Very good value for money, especially considering that the wines are available at cellar door prices. Highly recommended

    What an unforgettable experience with our brilliant waiter, Ralph, who guided us through our tantalizing food and wine experience with his quirky comments. This was art on a plate with every course and a culinary highlight of our year so far. The setting sun behind Table mountain as backdrop truly added to the unforgettable evening. We highly recommend De Grendel and will be back, for sure. Thank you to the professional team in the kitchen and on the floor!!!

    Our table of 6 was booked for a special occasion and a lovely evening of dining with fine wines (Degrendel) was had by all. Each course or our dinner had been carefully prepared, well presented and carefully delivered to our table. Our waiter, Josh, was attentive and helpful. Overall a 5 star experience.
