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.

    Thanks for a special breakfast on the lovely stoep. Man oh man, those warm butter and honey brioche buns … tooo good for words! And 10/10 for our waiter who picked up that it was our daughter’s birthday. The special treat for her was so thoughtful. We will definitely be there soon again!

    4th timing taking my Mom there for Sunday lunch. We've always ordered the same meal. Our reservation was for 13h30, so we either got the dregs of the day or you have a new chef that doesn't care... food was shocking compared to previous experiences.

    Dear Tarrin. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on Bistro Sixteen82. I have followed up with the managers on duty, and they mentioned that your concerns about the food quality were not raised with them at the time. Had we been made aware, we would have been more than happy to replace the dishes and ensure you left with a better experience. To assist us in addressing this properly, may I kindly ask you to share your specific feedback so that Chef Kerry can personally review the items and follow up with the team. We appreciate your feedback and trust that we will be able to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards Natalie

    Compliments to Chef Nandipha on the absolute amazing mushroom served with the beef fillet. Best we've ever had. The pork lambs neck and ostrich fillet was amazing! Well done 🙌
