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).

    DeGrendel always delivers on top quality and delicious food, excellent wines and attentive service without being intrusive. Our latest visit to DeGrendel did nothing to deter us from our opinion of this wonderful wine farm and restaurant. If you have not tried it, you are missing out on a gem. 10/10.

    As we did numerous of these winemakers dinners previously, we had one item that could have worked better. Normally the welcome drink is a wine option, but this round only ciders were available as welcome drink. The cider is a great idea, but we would have preferred wine as an alternative. The rest of the evening was great! As always!

    Quality of food and wine was fantastic. I had high expectations and they even exceeded those! The winemaker provided very interesting and informative information about the region, the wines, and wine drinking in general throughout the evening. The menu was thoughtfully paired with a lovely selection of wines and the views were phenomenal.
