Elegantly fastening the granite top to the table is, however, something I am
looking for ideas on.

Drill holes from underneath (SDS drill will do it pretty easily) and
use polyester resin glue-in fixings. These are easily available from
better hardware merchants.

You now have a wide range of options for whether you have studs
pointing down, or some form of bracket with holes in. The weight of
granite should be adequate to hold it down to a wooden frame, so
you're just trying to stop it being lifted up.

For a traditionalist approach, use slightly dovetailed iron rag bolts
(squishy end) in drilled holes, and fix them in place with either
molten sulphur or molten lead.
