Burger and Lobster Cape Town Menu

Burger & Lobster was founded in 2016 to return to the basics of a restaurant culture in which only a few items that would get people talking – a burger, a lobster roll, and fresh Lobster – were offered.” Bree Street in Cape Town was the location of the first B&L in South Africa. With all homemade ingredients, B&L is a globally recognized cocktail bar serving the most incredible unique drinks in Cape Town. People keep returning to B & L because it’s a hip and happening spot.

The Lobster is a sustainably farmed live Lobster, and the burger is created with the best natural beef possible. Every dish was prepared to its highest potential with excellent company and energy.

B&L provides three significant courses: The B&L lobster roll consists of a lobster tail cooked in lobster butter served in a freshly baked New England-style brioche roll dressed with a light homemade Japanese mayonnaise and fresh onion chives served with our lemon butter sauce; the whole Lobster (either live South African South Coast or Maine USA) is prepared in two ways: either steamed or steamed and finished off on the grill served with lemon and butter sauce.

The B&L gourmet burger is a 250g pure steak patty stacked on a freshly baked brioche bun topped with two types of homemade cheeses, maple bacon, red onion, lettuce, tomato, and home-pickled gherkins. Every entrée comes with a fresh mixed green salad and American-style thin fries. Smore pots with peanut butter and Oreo Nutella cheesecake are examples of decadent sweets. Monster shakes like an Oreo Cheesecake or Nutella and salted pretzels are also available.
