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.

    I am elderly, largely a vegan and have severe allergies, yet our waitress was endlessly patient, good-humoured and extremely helpful and polite while we attempted a selection of items which I would be able to enjoy without side-effects. My companion has no allergy problems and had an excellent meal. Her standards are high and she, too, thoroughly appreciated the ambience of this beautiful dining room, the exceptional view, pristine surrounds and the attentive, efficient and very friendly attitude of clearly superbly trained staff. As a vegan and for those who are health- and fitness-focused, I would merely suggest a slightly larger selection of plain, cooked vegetables prepared separately (simple options like baked potatoes in their skins, pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower, etc, from which to select a meal which supports health and fitness and yet has been prepared by your obviously excellent chefs in a creative manner.
