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.

    A very happy experience in a beautiful spot. Great service, atmosphere & our food (2 of us) delicious. My crumbed Brie and my husband’s steak. Our guests were a bit disappointed in the fact that their fish (salmon) was over cooked.

    We had a great time, we loved everything except that the menu didn’t cater me personally. I had to settle with side chips because I couldn’t choose from any other options you had on the menu. The food I normally go for was not on the menu, I was hoping to get Pasta , Pizza ,Sushi or chicken wings , but other than that everything was good.

    Biston Sixteen82 was good, but not great. We found the food lacked in flavour and was underwhelming. Great wine, great service, great location… food average
