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.

    The food was ok, service a bit on the slow side, prices a bit on the steep side. Loved the iron steak and bar and was looking for a similar experience. But this felt very underwhelming in comparison. I had the summer special. The lobster roll was delicious but tiny. The cheese burger was a decent size but nothing special.

    I often bring American students there while they are visiting. The food is varied, good and affordable by their standards. You can order a few starters rather than an entree if on a tight budget and it will be more than enough. I recommend the cauliflower, and mac and cheese. The trio of sliders give you variety. The full lobsters are a bit pricey for student budgets. I ordered a cocktail not on the menu but simple,. rum and pineapple juice. I appreciate the effort at using fresh pineapple but get a juicer as it was thick and chewy and I did not finish it. The Lobstar martini is absolutely delicious so I recommend that and sticking to their menu for cocktails! Lungi and Frankie served us and they were both very attentive! Great service on a busy night (first Thursday Feb). I'll be back :)
