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.

    By far my favourite restaurant! The food is scrumptious, the wine is great, the ambience is amazing and so is the service.

    We enjoyed the food and the excellent service. A couple of points: 1) My wife had clearly pointed out the we were celebrating my 70th birthday: normally restaurants set up some acknowledgement of the celebration but, in our case, it was completely ignored... 2) My wife ordered 1 glass of Catharina Red Blend but it was served far too warm. It should have been served at cellar temperature and a restaurant like Tryn should be well aware of that.

    The setting is beautiful and relaxing, wonderfully furnished inside and outside. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their cocktails. The staff are super friendly. Sadly the food is expensive and not worth the spend. The fillet that both myself and my friend ordered, for example, we both felt the gravy tasted like store bought packet gravy. She even commented that the gravy tasted like the same packet gravy she had used for her dinner the night before. It was gross and unacceptable for an almost R400 main meal. The bread served at the beginning of the meal was stale. The crackling served with the pork belly was stale. I had asked for a side salad with my main meal that didn’t arrive. When I asked for it the waitress said she had forgotten about it. When I ordered dessert I had asked if I could please swap out the blood orange ice cream/sorbet with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. That was also forgotten about. Fortunately the chocolate globe was delicious. For the prices paid one would expect better service and exceptional food quality. Such a pity since the setting is spectacular.
