Named after the year in which Steenberg was established, Bistro Sixteen82 first opened its doors in 2009, and has been the tapas and bistro-style darling of the dining world ever since.

An innovative and interactive wine and food destination, the Bistro sits adjacent to Steenbergs winery, and spills into its surrounding indigenous gardens with a terraced dining area leading to reflective water features, unfurling into views of the magnificent stone mountains and expansive winelands.

The Bistro Sixteen82 menu is a constant evolution, keeping up with seasonal produce and featuring inventive dishes that compliment the finest locally sourced ingredients. With Breakfast, Lunch and late-afternoon Tapas menus to choose from, the Bistro provides fine dining with an inimitable contemporary spirit.

Executive Chef, Kerry Kilpin, love to create food which is seasonal, flavourful and bursts with freshness. My greatest inspirations are derived from significant occasions in my life. On my travels to Thailand I developed a love and passion for Asian food. From shopping at the local food markets to creating my first authentic Thai dish, I was in heaven. You will notice a common thread in what I do and who I am. Love. I cook with love and my food is love.

    Went there for breakfast, we both ordered the eggs Benedict and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The complimentary Brioche with honey was delicious. We definitely coming back to try the wine tasting and tapas menu.Overall had the best experience from the moment we walked in and the time we left. Definitely recommend, if weather permits please sit outside and enjoy the serene sound of the water in the background.

    What a lovely lunch we had in the sunshine at Bistro 1682. The service was great, the food delicious and Steenberg wine never disappoints! it was a beautiful warm winters day and delightful to sit outside in the sun. We have not visited in a while but will be back soon. The mushroom carpaccio and sirloin salad can be highly recommended and the Venison and fish were also enjoyed.
