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).

    Lovely and scenic. We chose the 3 course option. The main fish course with tiger prawn was a BIG disappointment. The fish was dry and the flavour more curry than depicted. The Tiger prawn was actually a shrimp . The starter was excellent . There appears to be a bit of an aloof atmosphere in the service when in the main restaurant which does not bode well for a completely relaxed atmosphere in this lively setting

    Absolutely stunning! Everything about the evening was pure goodness. The food was incredible and just may have overtaken any other restaurant in the Western Cape. De Grendel produces excellent wine so all in all, a spectacular dinner. Kudos for the service as well. The perfect amount of attention.

    We are coming to this restaurant in excess of 10 years(overseas visitors) and it is consistent with service, excellent food and very high standards.
