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.

    Food has lost its way a bit - just not the same quality and variety anymore. Practically everything is Asian influenced which is an issue you don’t like Asian food and the amazing sauces the chef used to create just aren’t there anymore. Service and location always excellent.

    The Tacos for Two dining option was an absolute taste sensation. Every item on the menu was bursting with rich, vibrant flavours; truly a delight from start to finish. The service from all the staff was outstanding, with special mention to Nicolette, whose warmth and attentiveness made the experience even more memorable. The setting and ambiance are simply breathtaking, creating the perfect backdrop for a truly special occasion. It was the ideal place to celebrate my partner’s work achievement and, most importantly, our love for each other.
