Glitz ambience welcomes you as you walk the long passageway. The team made us feel welcome. Menu has the option of the additional wine pairing. Throughout the whole menu there is a seam of thoughtfulness. The dish of the night was the linefish with barley&quinoa.
Fantastic innovative food in a wonderful setting. Service was tops.
The service was excellent and needless to say, the food too. The view of the Table mountain is speechless and it's also in Cape Town and not in Stellenbosch. Love it and would recommend it to any person. We will be back again.
From when you walk in here, whether it's your first or 100th time, you feel welcome and special.
Starting at the friendly and knowledgeable waiting staff to the excellent dishes prepared by the kitchen, you just cannot go wrong.
Another 10/10 from me for Excellent service, food, wine and overall experience.
It has not been my first time and definitely not my last, thank you.
Friendly service from the gate entrance, the food service was excellent and food was just exceptional!

About De Grendel Restaurant
Enjoy their contemporary Cape Town cuisine, designed to complement their range of De Grendel wines (available at cellar door prices from De Grendel Restaurant).
About the Menu
The menu is based on classic, locally sourced ingredients, served in creative flavour combinations and served with an inventive, modern edge. The simple menu changes every day according to availability of ingredients.
They like to surprise their guests, that’s why you’ll find that their menu lists only the ingredients with no indication of how your meal will be prepared or which ingredients dominate (of course, if you ask, we’ll gladly tell you more).
About the Chef: Ian Bergh
Chef Ian Bergh brings a real passion for farm produce to the table and gives local artisan produce an inventive modern twist. Ian is no slave to fad and food fashions, and is an original locavore with a great respect for the seasons and their bounty.
His hands-on training and experience are rooted in classical cuisine, having worked with Franck Dangereux at La Colombe and further honed his skills at Kurland, Five Flies and Pure at Hout Bay Manor before joining Jonathan Davies at De Grendel to launch the restaurant in 2012.
About the Decor
It should come as no surprise to those who know the Graaff family that De Grendel Restaurant is without high-design bells and whistles or frivolous embellishments. We took our creative cue from the family farmhouse, blending it with the present with touches of De Grendel’s past.
The glass-panelled eatery is decorated in much the same way the Graaff matriarchs adorned the historic homestead: personal paintings and old family photographs dot the walls, and we had delft-blue porcelain underplates bearing the family crest specially hand-crafted by renowned local ceramicist Mervyn Gers.
