Dedicated to Steenbergs 17th century founder, Catharina Ras, or Tryn as she was known to her nearest and dearest; this restaurant is contemporary in spirit with fabulous food, bold accents and modern textures.

“My team and I are very excited about bringing Catharina into the 21st century with the opening of Tryn, and creating a dining experience that is more connected to her free and feisty spirit,” says Steenberg Executive Chef Kerry Kilpin.

Tryns personality is splashed on bold and gutsy ruby and jade walls in the private dining areas. Solid timber and hardy stone convey her strength, whilst delicate layering of textured fabrics and wall effects coat the space with her femininity. Rich burnt orange and mustard tones in the soft furnishings add scatterings of her feisty character. An inviting bar draws guests into the heart of the space and beckons after work encounters, either indoors or on the tranquil outstretched terrace overlooking verdant vineyards.

At Tryn, Chef Kerry takes her culinary skills to the next level, featuring an abundance of fresh ingredients, honest flavours and intuitive service. Known for adding a touch of Asian and Middle Eastern flair to her classically prepared food, Chef Kerry enlivens the familiar with exciting twists and flavour combinations to delight all palates.

    Very loud because of cement floor and walls. Poor acoustics. Big portions. Maybe a bit too big for fine dining. Otherwise fantastic quality and very friendly staff. Highly recommendable

    5 Star treatment from the moment you arrive till you leave. The staff were excellent and the food 1st class. The wines were a perfect match with our meal. Would recommend this restaurant and if we are back next year will certainly visit again.

    We were a team of 9 people and visited on Valentine’s Day for dinner. The food was good and nice choices on the menu. Service was friendly and apologies were accepted when waiter forgot the complimentary pralines & roses for our table. Great restaurant manager! To receive great service for a big table seems to be tricky in general, an observation I made over the past 3 weeks travelling with clients. 9 people around a big table need the same attention as small tables and very often the opposite is the case and one keeps looking for the waiter’s attention. Ambiente? Hmmm I prefer some form of table decor, I understand tablecloths are not convenient anymore but there are options to make a table look inviting. My personal opinion though. Would I book again? Yes, of course :)

    We planned my Dad's 80th Birthday lunch at Tryn. The process of reserving the venue was painless, the functions staff were very responsive and accommodatimg. The venue itself is gorgeous. We made use of one of the private rooms for a party of 30, which opened up onto a beautiful courtyard. The staff were absolutely fantastic and extremely attentive and the food was out of this world. My Dad is already planning to be back for his 90th birthday!! Thank you for the fabulous memories.
