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.

    As usual incredible experience. From excellent food in every way, to service from young Annabelle to a young man sorry cannot remember his name. What a wonderful evening with my son and family from Australia. Thank you thank you

    It was the perfect venue for a birthday celebration and we were very grateful for the delightful Happy Birthday message gifted from the kitchen on a dessert platter. The magnificent views of the surrounding mountains through the foldaway doors just added to the majesty of a delightful evening

    BISTRO Sixteen82 was outstanding! Challenges presented on arrival …this despite a booking made well in advance, despite making three courtesy calls to reconfirm our booking and table request etc. - upon arrival to be told "to please sit in the inner room of the restaurant, and have a drink. Once the table is vacated and cleared ,we’ll then move you to the front dining room". This was unacceptable to me and my party, as just that same morning I called once again to confirm our booking. To arrive, table not ready, then to go and have to kill time biding our time, made for a rusty start to our lunch. The Manager on duty did apologise, and sweetened matters by offering us a glass of Steenberg bubbles. All ended well!

    Bistro Sixteen82 responded on Mon 16 Feb 26:
    Dear Peter Thank you for taking the time to email us with your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the challenges that you faced on arrival. The feedback you have shared will be passed onto the team so we can endeavour to do better in future. We are thrilled that we turned your experience around and you had a lovely time and we are looking forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind Regards Natalie

    My sirloin steak was almost inedible as it was so tough. I should have sent it back
