Looking for a lavish lunch spot to spend your weekend afternoon? One visit to Bistro Sixteen82 at Steenberg Wine Farm and it will shoot to the top of your lunch list this summer.
You’ll find this vibrant and ultra-chic restaurant nestled in the winelands of Constantia Valley. Bistro Sixteen82, named after the year in which Steenberg was established, is a beloved destination for tapas and bistro-style dining. And with Steenberg’s Wine Tasting Room next door, it is a destination to captivate lovers of both food and wine.
A colourful display of glass hanging from the ceiling welcomes you at the entrance of Steenberg’s Wine Tasting Room, where you can try some of Steenberg Wine Farm’s famous wines before you make your way to the restaurant.
After taking a seat at the restaurant you are spoilt with the lush and vast views of mountains and winelands – perfectly complementing the sleek interior of the eatery.
Executive Chef Kerry Kilpin infuses her love for seasonal, flavourful food with a touch of Asian inspiration, creating memorable dining experiences. Starters like the Tempura Prawns, Beef Tataki and the Pickled Fish Taco come highly recommended.
And for mains, the Grilled Venison with parsnip puree arancini, carrot and green bean salsa and vanilla jus and the Roasted Pork Belly with pumpkin puree, tender greens, apple and carrot chutney and Bo-Kaap spiced jus are highlights to look forward to.
Don’t forget dessert! The Decadent Chocolate Marquise is a real spoil and a glass of Steenberg’s finest wines with the Cheese Plate (a selection of local cheeses) is the perfect ending to an unforgettable culinary experience.
With a menu that evolves with seasonal produce and inventive dishes, top-class service and great ambiance – Bistro Sixteen82 leaves a lovely lasting impression. A must-visit when you’re in Cape Town over the holidays!
