Burger & Lobster was founded in 2016 with the idea of going back to basics of a restaurant culture where people were offered only a few items that would get people talking - a burger, a lobster roll and fresh lobster. The First B&L in South Africa started in Cape Town on Bree Street. B&L has a world renouned cocktail bar offering the best original cocktails in Cape Town made with all home-made ingredients. B & L is a trendy and vibey place that gets people coming back. The Burger is made with highest quality natural beef and the Lobster is sustainable live lobster. Each dish developed the best it can be, surrounded with good people and great energy.

    We dined at Burger & Lobster to celebrate my son’s 25th birthday. The Manager welcomed us upon arrival and the waitress was warm, friendly and attentive. The restaurant staff also made Cole’s evening so special with a lovely cheesecake dessert - such a nice touch. The starters were my favourite. I could actually just have that! So good! Those that ordered the smash burgers, said it was very tasty and filling. Others who ordered the Winter special, were definitely very pleased! Even though the lobster roll and crispy chicken burgers were a little dry, the ramen made up for it - it was delicious. Dessert, was so decadent and a definite must have! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will certainly be back to try some of the other dishes. Thank you to the team for an overall excellent dining experience.

    We made a last minute lunch booking, we were received well, wait staff was kind and the food was great. If I could share the pictures I would too because the ambiance and presentation of food was also great.
