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.

    This is our favourite spot to celebrate our anniversary. The food is amazing. Service is always good. This year we were blessed with the most amazing weather so sat outside next to the water. Absolute magic!

    The Bistro is the perfect "special occasion" venue. The setting, ambiance and menu is unparalleled, even in comparison with Michelin Star restaurants. The dishes were exceptional and the menu catered to all palettes and preferences. The gastronomic journey that it takes you on is all encompassing, tantalizing each of your senses. Sage was a phenomenal waitress and went the extra mile to make the 80th birthday celebration truly memorable. Thank you so much to all the staff and management for all the effort to create such a wonderful experience. We have decided to celebrate every special occasion there henceforth, the next being a 96th birthday celebration.
