BISTRO SIXTEEN82 NEW SUMMER MENU (Bistro 1682)

BISTRO SIXTEEN82 AT STEENBERG VINEYARDS: Bistro Sixteen82, the cellar door restaurant at Steenberg Vineyards, has become a firm favourite for hearty Breakfast fare, leisurely Lunches and tasty Tapas in the winelands of Constantia since its opening a year ago (November 2009). Located within the Steenberg Winery Complex and set amidst the vineyards at the foothills of the Steenberg Mountain, the 70-seater daytime eatery exudes an ambience that embodies opulent and contemporary chic, offering the perfect relaxed summer dining venue, surrounded by reflection pools and water features in an enchanting garden setting.

The new Summer Tapas menu at Bistro Sixteen82 showcases Executive Chef Brad Ball’s culinary flair with a tempting selection of antipasti that includes Chorizo Sausage, Grilled Sardines, Oysters and Beef Tartar. Adding to the buzz is a blackboard depicting the choices of the day.  Interesting seafood dishes such as Soft Shell Crab or Gambas Pil Pil with Shelled tiger prawns complement vegetarian choices that include a Cheese Board or Chickpeas and Smoke Paprika, to offer a superb Tapas experience – best savoured at sunset with a glass of Steenberg’s finest! Steenberg wines have a reputation as excellent ‘food wines’, offering a palate pleasing range of cultivars and styles – from its legendary Sauvignon Blancs, Semillon and Cap Classiques, to Shiraz, Merlot and Nebbiolo.

Those who prefer fresh and healthy raw cuisine will revel in the selection at the Raw Food Bar. With its intimate counter seating, the ‘Raw Bar’ allows diners a front row seat while designated chefs prepare sashimi, gravalax, oysters and tartars on order, with a choice of Pink (Norwegian Salmon with fresh lime and chilli) and Red (Chalmar beef with panko crumbed quail egg and ciabatta toasts) as perfect light lunch options.

The seductive ‘Oyster and Bubbly’ Menu is a brand new feature on the menu (to be introduced from the 13^th of November), offering a choice between wild and cultivated oysters served naturally, or a taste sensation of four different oyster shots, as well as a mouthwatering dish of six delicious Tempura Oysters served either with aioli or Asian dipping sauce.  Paired with a glass of the Steenberg 1682 Chardonnay MCC Brut; the Pinot Nor Steenberg 1682 Pinot Noir MCC Brut, or either the elegantly French  Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve, or Billecart Salmon Brut Rose, this is an adventurous food and wine indulgence.

If this is not enough ‘raison d’être’ to spur a visit to Bistro Sixteen82, the new á la carte Summer Lunch Menu with its witty twist on familiar themes and old favourites, offers a selection of tasty temptations.  With dishes such as Blue Bay Mussels with Coconut milk broth and coriander; Chicken Ballotine with Truffled chicken mousse wrapped in jambon with a cranberry chutney; and the mouth-watering Felchlin Chocolate Tart with cherries and honey comb, the menu certainly lives up to its promise to ‘Indulge’, ‘Inspire’, ‘Rejuvenate’ or ‘Stimulate’ even the most jaded palate.

The restaurant is open daily for breakfast (09:00 – 11:30) and lunch (12:30 – 16:00). Snack platters are available throughout the day from the interactive Raw Food Bar, and the Tapas menu can be enjoyed in the late-afternoon and at sunset (16:30 – 20:00). Ample secure parking is available.
