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.

    Always a treat when visiting Bistro 1682. We've built so many memories here over the years. From birthday parties, to meeting up with friends, to cheese & wine tastings. Steenberg & Bistro 1682 holds a special place in my heart.

    Excellent and quite a new menu since we were last there. Only one very minor suggestion: more anchovies on the bruschetta and then everything would be perfect.

    As usual staff not getting it right - slack, don’t look at customers, chatting up top. Tired of waving my arms to get a basic like spoon for desert they have just delivered..

    My only complaint is that those Riempie chairs are terribly uncomfortable . They are a bad design and should be changed. If Harbour House in Kalk Bay could get rid of their riempie chairs , then so can you !
