    What a beaut!   | By Steven | Wednesday, 30 March 2011
    Just came back from lunch at the bistro. I keep on having some of the most amazing experiences here.
    Food today was once again just about as good as it gets. Packed with flavour and texture. The pork belly was mind blowing! My starter of snails was very different and very good.

    Service was wonderful and friendly even though it was jam packed. A really good feel with the weather horrid outside and the place buzzing.

    Great birthday party lunch   | By Tony | Sunday, 27 March 2011
    About 20 of us piled in - one long table down the side of the restaurant with a gap in the middle was spot on, so people could move around etc. Service by Nathalie was very efficient and accurate (difficult with so many).

    Food really good - some new dishes like homemade pasta with pork belly strips / mushroom risotto / capellini with truffle oil all wolfed down.

    This place is really doing well and as long as you take a nanny, it's great for kids.

    How wonderful   | By Judith | Saturday, 05 February 2011
    I return to Cape Town every year at this time and I have just came back from a luncheon at Bistro1682. How wonderful it was! All six of us had a wonderful time, food, service and ambiance were all lovely. One of the finest combinations of food and wine I have had was the pasta with a truffle cream and poached egg with Semillon.

    I will happily return on my next trip.

    Modern Bistro hits the spot   | By Paul | Tuesday, 01 February 2011
    We dined on a very busy Friday lunch; The service was great and food delicious. We started with a bottle of the Brut Chardonnay bubbly, my favorite local MCC.
    Starters were a salmon tartar-well balanced in flavour and texture and the mushroom risotto-how often do chefs mess this one up, not here! Cooked perfectly and full of flavour.
    We shared a second course of the much spoken about beef tataki. Only thing is the portion size is very large, but also well balanced and a wonderful lunch option.
    For main course I had the pork belly with salted caramel, I dont think I have had a better piece of belly anywhere. My partner had the sole, cooked with what looked like peas ala Francaise and lardons. She said it was delicious and worked well with the Steenberg Chardonnay sphinx.
    For dessert we tucked into the lemon meringue profiteroles, very good and again textures were great. the chocolate tart is decadent but a chocolate lovers dream, pure indulgence!
    I think they do a reasonable origin flat white but could do with some work.
    I found the value for money brilliant and the quality of the food and service exceptional for a cape town restaurant.

    Exclusive setting but mixed feelings about the food   | By Luc | Thursday, 16 December 2010
    The setting and décor at Bistro Sixteen82 are impressive, but let’s not compare this place to any high rated restaurant in the Cape. It is a bistro after all and although we enjoyed our visit we will probably not go back soon – there’s just too many attractive eateries around!
    We were happy to be seated outside – maybe because of several groups having lunch at the same time noise levels were way too high inside. We had duck salad and salmon gravadlax for starters; both would have been better with a little more spice. Our mains were good to very good. The west coast sole was small but tasty and my wife said she didn’t have such an excellent pork belly in a long time. Both desserts (semifredo and lemon infused profiteroles) were very boring and disappointing. One profiterole could have done as part of a dessert but four of them was just too much of the same. Service was friendly and professional and with a bottle of water, 2 expresso’s and a bottle of the Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc 2008 the bill came to 620 Rand before tip, which seemed very fair for a rather exclusive venue.

    Sweet Sixteen   | By Jonathan | Monday, 22 November 2010
    Sixteen 82 is already pushed enough for space that I hesitate to recommend it but it is rare that a restaurant comes up with a new dining experience and pulls it off (remember The Showroom?). Tapas has of course been around for ages, even outside Spain, but Sixteen 82 has managed to make it into a dining, rather than bar food, experience in a beautifully designed contemporary space - even if their original idea was probably to serve some finger food to accompany the Steenberg estate's wines . The simplicity and brevity of the blackboard menu is rewarded in the freshness and taste of the tapas dishes. They may not be recognised by your average Barcelonesa but who cares? Tangy beef Tataki, tender squid, patatas bravas and delectable soft shelled crab arrive in plentiful quantities on serving boards. The staff are friendly and efficient and, as you you are drinking wine from the estate, the mark-up compared to the retail price is small or negligible so you get much more bang for your buck. The only drawback is that the concrete ceiling and stone floor conspire to make the acoustics difficult if the place is full - especially if a group of yummy mummies from the estate are throwing a baby shower. The kitchen closes at 8.00pm but at least they now take reservations in the evening.
