De Grendel

Don your winter woollies and rain dance your way to the Durbanville Wine Valley’s annual Soup, Sip and Bread Festival, taking place on 2 -3 June 2012. De Grendel will warm the cockles of your heart with a delicious cold-weather festival menu at our new De Grendel Restaurant which already has everybody talking.

Chef Ian Bergh and his spirited kitchen brigade will steam up the kitchen preparing a three-course menu for lunch with comforting classics and around-the-world flavours to match De Grendel wines.

Experience for yourself how well our merlot, sauvignon blanc and Winifred snuggle up to slow-cooked, spicy fare. Crispy croutons with molten gruyère top the classic French onion soup*, while hearty dumplings round off the goulash. Just-baked corn bread accompany earthy potato, sweet corn and truffle chowder. Love naan? This delicious flat bread will pair up with dahl – a fragrant Indian lentil and tomato curry – and our classy Winifred. The soup and bread theme is taken right through to dessert with a moreish bread and butter pudding given a modern twist with vanilla ‘soup’.
So make your way to De Grendel for a soulful soiree of the senses. Bring family and friends along for the warm company, cozy ambiance and wrap-around views.

Date: Saturday, 2nd and Sunday, 3rd June
Time: 12:00 to 14:30
Cost: R210 per person for a three course menu, including De Grendel wine with starter and main.

*Did you know? French onion soup is not one of the world’s most-loved soups for nothing. Traditionally it was served as a early morning power meal to the workers of Les Halles Market in Paris. It has since become a symbol of Paris, served in casual bistros and swanky restaurants frequented by gourmands.
