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 booked Bistro 1682 several weeks ago to celebrate my partner's birthday after a spa and wine tasting also at Steenberg. I had written a message asking for a nice table and informing the restaurant of my gluten allergy. On arrival at the wine tasting next door, I went to check that they had reserved a nice table and a central table overlooking the terrace was pointed to me. However, when we entered the restaurant one hour later, that table had been given to someone else and the choices were on her terrace (too cold) or further into the interior. I was really disappointed and quite annoyed, having checked earlier. There were a few more errors made by staff as the meal progressed and the coordination and communication seemed poor. Three people checked about the gluten content of dishes and there seemed to be to be confusion - and in spite of this, when one dish arrived, I was only then told that I couldn't eat it. Our third course was also wrong and we got given a second portion of prawns having already eaten one. However, they left it with us and did manage to bring the beef sirloin within a few minutes. With all this said, the food was very good and also reasonably priced for the quality and the restaurant is beautifully located and has a nice ambience. I recommend to the restaurant that they show dietary information (gf, v, df) on the menu and ensure the staff really understand what these mean and coordinate more carefully with each other. I also recommend that when someone books a take especially, that a reservation sign is placed in it.
