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 loved de Grendel. We will be back. Setting is absolutely world class and road to the venue was lined with trees that reminded us of France. Food was made with love and attention to detail. Service was warm, friendly, efficient and conscientious (e.g. over gluten). Ambience of the whole place was delightful. I would not just recommend, I would strongly advise visitors to make a point of visiting the estate and eating there.

    What an amazing experience we had. The food. The wine. The wine pairing. The view. The ambiance. The service. Watching the sunset over the ocean with Table Mountain in our sight. What more can you ask for. Our waitress Fiona was outstanding. The food was to die for. A definite must do.

    It’s a very nice place but I don’t think it’s cool to charge a no show fee when out of a group of 4 there is one person being sick and not able to come after already charging a reservation down payment.
