"Nice decor - bad bread"
8.3 Cuisine 8 | Service 8 | Atmosphere 9

The hamburger bun was dry and flaky, the patty rather tasteless, the lobstor roll was sweet...what a pitty

"Slightly disappointed "
8.7 Cuisine 9 | Service 9 | Atmosphere 8

The lobster roll was delicious but disappointingly small and they could have been more generous with the lobster meat considering the price.

The decor and atmosphere was dark, so we opted for the outside seating on the street.

"Indulgent and Delicious!"

Had a brilliant experience here! The aesthetic of this restaurant is really hip and sexy, the staff are friendly and welcoming too.

As for the food, the lobster roll was delish, however, somewhat sadly, the brioche was the star and not the lobster.

The burger was great too, but a bit more of a sear to the me...

Had a brilliant experience here! The aesthetic of this restaurant is really hip and sexy, the staff are friendly and welcoming too.

As for the food, the lobster roll was delish, however, somewhat sadly, the brioche was the star and not the lobster.

The burger was great too, but a bit more of a sear to the meat would've been outstanding. Again, that brioche bun stole the show.

If you like black truffle, definitely get that option with the fries, one of the best interpretations I've had!

The creme brulee was custardy deliciousness! The vanilla seeds studded throughout added subtle flavour. My only gripe is it could've been slightly less dense (perhaps one egg yolk less).

All in all, this is worth the trip! Recommended.

"Awesome food!!!"
8.7 Cuisine 10 | Service 8 | Atmosphere 8

We had an awesome lunch. Good food . The dessert deserves a special mention too. Only thing that was slightly less pleasant was the manager having a very loud phone conversation that dominated the inside space. But I would still recommend it nevertheless.

"Burger & Lobster review "
8.7 Cuisine 9 | Service 9 | Atmosphere 8

This place has a relaxed atmosphere, with cool decor notes and even better food. There isn't much on the menu but what they do make is top notch. Its filled with flavor and will have me coming back for more. The service was great, no long waiting and no mistakes in orders. All in all a good place that I would advice others to try.

About Burger & Lobster

Burger & Lobster


Gourmet burgers and lavish lobsters are at the heart of this trendy new Bree Street restaurant and cocktail bar.


Tucked away neatly on the Mother City’s trendiest strip, a fresh-out-the-box addition to the metropolitan culinary scene has officially arrived offering patrons an all-new epicurean experience. Sitting flush against Bree Street’s cobbled sidewalk, its large arched black doorway – which formally opened in July 2016 – stands tall, presenting passer-by’s with very little indication as to what takes place behind its unassuming entrance. The only clues? An elegant red carpet leading into the building and the doorway's contrasting title ‘Burger & Lobster’, which in actual fact simply says it all.


Reverting to an unusual approach of a restaurant culture where diners are offered only few items on the menu done right, Burger & Lobster (B&L) Cape Town presents customers with an impeccable threefold menu in the form of its B&L Burger, B&L Lobster Roll and fresh – from tank to table – Whole Lobster done two-ways.
