Bistro Sixteen82

Bistro Sixteen82 – Exceptional Food in a Breathtaking Winery Setting Bistro Sixteen82, located on the stunning Steenberg Wine Estate, is easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Cape Town. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and refined, with vineyard views that elevate the entire experience. The food was outstanding. The service was friendly, professional, and well-informed — especially when it came to recommending the perfect wine pairings from Steenberg’s own cellar. You really feel like you’re in the heart of a working winery, yet treated like a guest at a fine dining destination. If you’re visiting Cape Town, this spot is a must. Whether for a romantic lunch, a wine-paired dinner, or just to soak in the views over a glass of bubbly, Bistro Sixteen82 delivers on every level.

Overall this was a great experience. The tapas are delicious. This is a great way to taste a variety of different dishes. We ordered 6 dishes which was a lot. There's a winter tapas board for two available which is what we were initially in for, but we changed our minds and ordered other dishes. Well worth it. Beautiful surroundings.

We had the best time, The food was so nice. I ate Grilled ostrich meat for the first time and it was delicious. Oh the service was also the best.

Very nice lunch here with some bubbles and oysters to start. Great service and ambience. Not a lot of space around the tables which makes it feel slightly cramped (which I don’t mind at all). Menu options are wide, with pretty interesting fusion characteristics but solid classics as well. Oysters were fresh as can be, beef tataki exceptional. Always a very nice and pleasant experience at Bistro Sixteen82 on a sunny day!

I love a good dinner special, so we decided to try the Tapas for 2 at Bistro 1682. Firstly the atmosphere was impeccable. The sparking chandelier over the wine tasting bar is stunning 😍 and the aesthetics of the dinning area is magnificent. The service on the on day could have been better. Towards the end of the night, I struggled to get someone to help with taking our order and getting us the bill. Onto the food: The Soup was good, a little too sweet but enjoyable in small quantities. 4/5 The west mussels were okay, unfortunately they were underwhelming compared to the pickled fish that came with it. 3/5 The pickled fish was so delicious and was surprisingly the star of the show. I would definitely enjoy a bigger plate of this 5/5 Chicken livers: The livers were bland and overcooked. The polenta complimented the dish well but unfortunately did not make up for the lack of taste 3/5 Beff Potstickers: This dish was disappointing. The pastry was too hard, the beef was too chewy and the garnishment not being compatible. We ended up not fishing this dish the way it was so bad 2/5 If you got this far. Thank you for reading my review.

I would suggest requesting a table in the lower part of the restaurant if possible - one feels quite removed if sitting in the upstairs section (also little natural light). It seems the waiters could also forget about you somewhat if not seated in the main part of the restaurant.

Amazing hearty dishes with a beautiful wine farm on it. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a heart lunch or dinner with family or friends.

A melting pot of gourmet tapas - definitely worth a visit! Influenced by many international cuisines, small dishes with great sauces are served here. Ultra-modern ambience in the huge Steenberg winery. Comfortable seating next to the dining room. Nice and modern architecture.
