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 thoroughly enjoyed our time at De Grendel Restuarant. The set menu was excellent, with a wide choice for all tastes and palates. The wine pairing is also excellent, at affordable prices

    A Truly Unforgettable 70th Celebration at De Grendel From the very first planning conversation with Renate, we knew we were in the best hands. Her professionalism, warmth, and meticulous attention to detail set the tone for what became an unforgettable event. The venue itself was absolutely breathtaking — elegant, serene, and with views that are simply unmatched. The setup on the day was nothing short of perfection: classy, sophisticated, and thoughtfully arranged to the last detail. The food was sublime — every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. But what truly stood out was the service. Every member of the De Grendel team went above and beyond to ensure my dad’s 70th birthday was a joyous and seamless celebration. Thank you to Renate and the entire team for making it such a special and memorable occasion. We couldn’t have asked for more. — With heartfelt gratitude from our family

    Food was delicious. Portion sizes were perfect. We chose the 2017 Pinotage and it was excellent, we even bought a bottle to take home with us. Service was great. The whole experience was a treat, we will definitely be back! Thank you for an amazing evening!

    Food is always delicious, service is always spot on, and the wine is superb. We could not fault our evening at DeGrendel Winemakers dinner last night. Thoroughly recommend DeGrendel restaurant and wine farm.
