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.

    Very nice, upmarket setting in a cool building on a fine wine estate. Welcome was great - we did a tasting before eating - and the food choice was excellent.

    This time I booked for 6 plus 4 people, which means first for 6 and thereafter for an additional 4. Maybe this was why we had to sit in the back of the restaurant, which I really don't like. That had a big impact on this experience. The food was great, as it used to be, and the service was okay. Hopefully, we ourselves or the guests of "Constantia Cottages" will have a more enthusiastic experience next stay.

    We enjoyed the tapas for 2 special. We loved four of the five dishes, but weren't keen on the beetroot salad, it felt a bit like something I would make myself for lunch any week day, rather than a special meal at a restaurant. I hope they change that one item in the future, as we will certainly be back soon.
