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.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Bistro 1682. The tapas selection was superb and tasted just as great. Great atmosphere and service from Jack our waiter, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended for all occasions.

    Unfortunately I didn't view the menu before going to Bistro 1682. They only serve Tapas a variety of them but was overall on the pricy side. The food was okay not something I would rave about. Definitely not the quietest of places. The staff are friendly. I did request a corner table and upon arrival there was such a table available, however when I got to it I was told not that table with no explanation. The said table was empty throughout my dining experience and when I was about to leave an elderly couple walked in and were asked where they would like to be seated and chose the corner seat I initially wanted and it wasn't an issue to get it then so in terms of that I don't know how the choosing of tables works here, if you say yes to some and no to others and clearly the table wasn't booked. The venue itself was aesthetic. Overall experience 3/5
