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.

    Lobster rolls were amazing however the burger left a little to be desired. I’ll still come back because of the overall experience. Love B&L

    I had a celebratory dinner at B&L last night and let me till you, I was ready to lick my lips off but I was too full to! We started off with the chilli cheese fries as a snack, which had a really flavourful cheese sauce, with a spicy kick, topped with finely chopped green pepper. We indulged in the tuesday special which included a beef, chicken burger, both accompanied with crispy fries. Personally the chicken was my fave, flavourful chicken fillet, fried crispy, topped with fresh tomato, lettuce and onion. I washed my meal down with a lovely glass of red, while stealing a bite of my sister's lobster roll which was soft, juicy and fresh. Thank you for the delicious food and service, made my birthday special.

    The service provided by the Manager was warm, welcoming, and well-presented. However, I did feel a bit rushed by our waiter. Shortly after I received my second cocktail and finished my meal, we were already being asked to decide on dessert. Our booking was from 18:00 to 20:00, but we ended up leaving earlier than planned.

    The ambience and overall vibe of the restaurant are absolutely beautiful — a great setting to unwind. However, the food and drink experience didn’t match the surroundings. The cocktail was overpriced for the quality, and the food was quite disappointing. The lobster roll was very small and had a strong fishy taste. The burger had too much garnish, which overpowered the actual flavor of the meat. The chips were paper-thin and became stale rather quickly. I believe there’s potential here, but the flavor profiles and overall food quality really need to be reassessed to meet the standard of the setting.
