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.

    Excellent tapas special which we had. Everything was delicious - super flavourful. Dessert disappointing as it said poached pear and there were only a few little pieces on the plate. The wines are expensive .... Great service and attention from Daniel.

    Beyond amazing winter tapas dinner. Every plate was an art form, which tasted exquisite. Beautiful bubbles to complement the dinner. Cannot wish for a better evening or lunch!

    Als Menschen, die mit der Gastronomie groß geworden sind, hohe Ansprüche an erstklassige Küche haben und guten Wein sowie exzellenten Service sehr schätzen, wurden wir heute vollkommen begeistert. Der Service von Nicolette war außergewöhnlich – professionell, aufmerksam und gleichzeitig herzlich und freundlich. Die Qualität der Speisen bewegte sich auf absolutem Sterneniveau: Vorspeise, Hauptgang und Dessert waren in jeder Hinsicht perfekt. Dieses Restaurant ist ohne jede Einschränkung zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank für dieses besondere kulinarische Erlebnis und den herausragenden, herzlichen Premium-Service von Nicolette.

    Food was scrumptious but the portions are quite modest. The vibe there was immaculate, would definitely go back!
