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.

    We eat here fairly often as we live on the estate. Last night we attended the late night shopping event which was so disappointing. We look forward to it every year as the start of our celebrations. Usually there are discounted mcc’s and especially the Magnum which we buy as a treat. There are also usually people walking around with trays of drinks especially the bubbly. There was nothing like that , just basic snacks and people pouring minute tastings The atmosphere was so different and attendance was small .Not sure why it all changed . We then had a table booking for dinner . We received frozen aroncini , half cooked Brie and uncooked mushroom dish ! I was actually shocked , maybe because I also never realized the food was frozen . We did receive apologies from the chef. However we were still charged in full

    The bistro offers a chilly vibe for an amazing wine tasting. The food was delicious, staff were friendly and if you want a light lunch, bistro is a nice spot to relax, taste with your friends. The tasting experience was nice along with its own taste and age.
