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.

    Only marked down the food because one dish wasn’t great (the lamb neck), but they replaced it immediately without any fuss. All other food delicious and staff delightful.

    Food was good but Chicken livers were drowned in soya sauce and prawns were over cooked; location services all good.

    We had such a fabulous celebration event for my mum's 80th at your stunning venue. Everything went perfectly. The food was outstanding (we had a vegetarian menu), the room was perfect, the staff were great. The kitchen accommodated some special requests for fussy children, which was appreciated. I want to give an extra shout-out for Jessica who was professional, engaging, flexible and considerate, and took excellent care of us. We confused the staff a bit by changing seating between courses and the staff took this in their stride. The only small thing was that we were unable to play our playlist of music through the overhead speakers, although we brought the cords we were advised to bring, and we had to make an alternative plan. But this did not detract at all from a full 5-star experience. All in all, a memorable and special celebration, which couldn't have gone better. Thanks so much!

    Overall the experience was good. The only thing we struggled within the conference room is that we could hear people outside of the conference room conversation, which was disturbing. The alcohol scent was very intense during the morning but overall experience and service was good.
