Executive Chef, Kerry Kilpin, loves to create food which is seasonal, flavourful and bursts with freshness. “My greatest inspirations are derived from significant occasions in my life. On my travels to Thailand I developed a love and passion for Asian food. From shopping at the local food markets to creating my first authentic Thai dish, I was in heaven. You will notice a common thread in what I do and who I am. I cook with love and my food is love.”Dedicated to Steenberg’s 17th century founder, Catharina Ras, or Tryn as she was known to her nearest and dearest; this restaurant is contemporary in spirit with delicious food, a bold and modern interior, gorgeous views and a relaxed atmosphere.
