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.

    We were a family of 6 and we went to Tryn for mother's day. My wife did not get a flower which is usual for an expensive restaurant on a special occasion (this might seem petty but it means a lot to my wife ). The African manager was very helpful - they brought a high chair and mashed banana for our baby as well as a cushion for my wife but the waitress did not know what she was doing. She brought us our coffees before our dessert (even though it should be served after dessert) and even though the set menu stated coffee/tea AND truffles after dessert, she said we had to choose EITHER coffee/tea OR a truffle. We had to explain twice to her before we were offered both. The courses were well presented but the food was very mediocre, really nothing special. This might have something to do with it being a set menu and not À la carte due to mothers day but thats isn't really an excuse. All the course were sweet, even the venison loin, so were rather disappointed with the food on offer. The bill included a discretionary service charge of 12% which translated to R380 We paid using 3 cards (for various reasons) and inadvertently settled the bill with R3 outstanding. The waitress, came to us and queried the shortfall, stating that we had to settle it. I told her that the service we had received from her wasn't up to scratch and that as it was a discretionary service fee, we would not be paying the extra R3.00 As we were leaving the restaurant, the other manager chased after us and almost demanded that we settle the outstanding R3.00. I listed all of the above and told him that we would not be settling it and left. We probably wont be returning to Tryn anytime soon, if at all.

    The people in my group who ate meat and fish all enjoyed their meal. We have eaten at Tryn multiple times and every time the meat eaters enjoy their meal. However, as a vegetarian, while there are ample options, the food just is not good. The vegetarian starter I had was actually inedible and the main course claimed to be a artichoke fritter but was literally just crumbed artichokes from a jar - it was dry and unimaginative at best. Would not recommend if you have a vegetarian or vegan in your party. The service was poor and the restaurant is terribly lit - they really need a new lighting designer.

    The service was particularly good: friendly and efficient. Ambience outstanding as was the food.
