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.

    Twelve of us enjoyed lunch in the private room upstairs on 19 October 2025 to celebrate my 60th birthday, and experience was amazing! Food was exceptional - good portion sizes and amazing flavors. Service was exceptional too (Jack took care of us) - all-in-all, we had a perfect and flawless experience. I definitely chose the right venue for a memorable celebration.

    My guests from Austria enjoyed everything about 1682...I particularly loved the way the pickled fish was served. Beautifully flavoured too.

    Unfortunately the service was slow between the starter and main - the main meal was ice cold so obviously had been on the pass for a while. Disappointed as 1682 has always been consistently good in the past

    The birthday celebration we had was perfected with the little special arrival from the chef of a Happy Birthday plated message. One crit is that I would have liked for our waiter to have served us our final bill and thanked us for his tip.

    Bistro Sixteen82 responded on Mon 20 Oct 25:
    Dear Mariam, Thank you for celebrating with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We're so glad the birthday touch from the chef added something special to the day. I really appreciate your note about the bill as well - it's helpful feedback, and I’ll pass it on to the team. We hope to welcome you back to Tryn again soon. Warm regards, Natalie from Steenberg
