Spanish Cuisine – Bistro Sixteen82 celebrates its second birthday
New on the menu, authentic and traditional Spanish tapas dishes include Albondigas en Salsa de Tomate, an irresistible dish of pork meatballs in tomato sauce; Solomillo a la Trinchado, tender Chalmar beef fillet in a red wine and chilli sauce; and grilled sardines with olive oil and Maldon salt РSardinas a la Plancha. There are delicious meat free options too: ranging from Papas Con Romero, a blend of crushed new potatoes with garlic and rosemary; to Champinones Salteados, saut̩ed mushrooms with lemon thyme and sesame, while regular diners will be pleased to find popular Bistro Sixteen82 signature standard Gambas Pil Pil (shelled tiger prawns smothered in a delicious garlic and chilli oil) remaining on the menu by popular demand.
Those wishing to indulge their sweet tooth may look forward to tasting typical Spanish desserts that will be introduced onto the menu over the next few weeks, including the traditional Flan de Naranja, a creme caramel style dessert infused with orange; and classic Churros, a Spanish doughnut with chocolate sauce.
Enhancing the dining experience, on Thursday nights popular Nouveau Flamenco guitar duo Kubu Strings adds to the festive ambience with the ‘hot’ combination of Spanish music, chef Brad Ball’s mouth-watering tapas, and Steenberg’s delicious wines to create a perfect after-work and early-evening Spanish fiesta. The wine list offers a selection of Steenberg wines by the glass too, including a range of cultivars and styles to match every dish – from the legendary Steenberg Sauvignon Blancs, Semillon and Cap Classiques, to Shiraz, Merlot and Nebbiolo.
Says Ball: “Our new tapas menu emphasises the fact that we are one of the only dining venues in Cape Town that offer traditional, old-school, simple Spanish tapas. Spanish food, and especially tapas, is based on unfussy methods and the imaginative use of seasonal vegetables and local ingredients. The dishes on my new menu are the kind that would be served at your local café in Spain – the real deal! We do still offer more mainstream ‘international’ tapas items though, which will be promoted daily on our chalkboard.”
For diners who prefer fresh and healthy raw cuisine, a front row seat at the Raw Food Bar where one may watch your meal-in-the-making, is an enjoyable culinary affair, with choices such as gravadlax, oysters and pink and red tartars, and the ever popular Beef Tataki with slivers of rare fillet drizzled with sesame oil, served with spring onions, fresh lime and coriander.
Located in an unrivalled vineyards setting within the Steenberg Winery, the 70-seater daytime eatery offers a relaxed ambience for summer dining, surrounded by reflection pools and water features in a charming garden setting. Tables may be booked in advance for Tapas (served seven days a week, late afternoon from 16h30 until the kitchen closes at 20h00). Bistro Sixteen82 also serves breakfast and lunch daily. Ample secure parking is available.
