Dedicated to Steenbergs 17th century founder, Catharina Ras, or Tryn as she was known to her nearest and dearest; this restaurant is contemporary in spirit with fabulous food, bold accents and modern textures.

“My team and I are very excited about bringing Catharina into the 21st century with the opening of Tryn, and creating a dining experience that is more connected to her free and feisty spirit,” says Steenberg Executive Chef Kerry Kilpin.

Tryns personality is splashed on bold and gutsy ruby and jade walls in the private dining areas. Solid timber and hardy stone convey her strength, whilst delicate layering of textured fabrics and wall effects coat the space with her femininity. Rich burnt orange and mustard tones in the soft furnishings add scatterings of her feisty character. An inviting bar draws guests into the heart of the space and beckons after work encounters, either indoors or on the tranquil outstretched terrace overlooking verdant vineyards.

At Tryn, Chef Kerry takes her culinary skills to the next level, featuring an abundance of fresh ingredients, honest flavours and intuitive service. Known for adding a touch of Asian and Middle Eastern flair to her classically prepared food, Chef Kerry enlivens the familiar with exciting twists and flavour combinations to delight all palates.

    Service was disjointed, for example I had to sit for nearly 5 mins with my main waiting for my partners to arrive. The food however was delicious, every course we both had was beautifully presented and tasted superb. Highly recommend duck breast starter, the beef fillet and lamb rack main and chocolate sphere for dessert. The location itself is also beautiful. We went for the winter special at minimum 700 per person depending on specific course add ons. Well worth going, worth every cent. The waiters could use a little more training to match the food quality.

    The service was very attentive but the food took a really long time to come out once we had ordered, which is unusual for breakfast and not the level I would expect of Tryn. The waitress looked after us well in this time but for breakfast one does not expect to wait so long. Once it came out, it was all delicious. The gammon/scramble bun was especially good.

    When for the winter special had clams as a starter and fillet for main course and I can't remember the name of the dessert which was fabulous too. The portions are a good size. I think the 3 course winter special is good value for money
