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).

    I absolutely love De Grendel for special occasions. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend our waiter Himal. The food is delicious, beautifully presented and each portion is perfectly balanced and a sufficient portion. The chef's complimentary "dish" adds a warm touch. The ambience is relaxing, comfortable and welcoming. It's always a memorable and quality dining experience. Highly recommend. Thank you.
