The special R99 for a cheeseburger, chips and a soft drink
About the restaurant Ideal for a lunch stopover during the workday, or dinner before a night on the town, Burger & Lobster manages to pull off two seemingly incongruent dishes: straight-up burgers and (sustainably caught) lobsters. The casual, New York-inspired interiors (brick walls, steel, leather and raw wood) lend themselves to after-work drinks, too – check out the hand-crafted cocktail menu, created in collaboration with one of Cape Town’s best barmen, Brent Perremore.
Whether you opt for a whole lobster, burger (vegan, vegetarian or beef), or a lobster roll, you can be sure that top-quality ingredients are used.
The current Lunch in a Hurry special – a cheeseburger, chips and a soft drink for under R100 – is rather tempting. And, if your order takes longer than 30 minutes to arrive, it’s on Burger & Lobster! A speedy lunch guaranteed!

At the assured helm is head chef Farrel Hirsch, who took over the reins from Peter Tempelhoff in November 2018. Chef Farrel has already earned numerous accolades, including the prestigious American Express Platinum Fine Dining Restaurant Award. This special summer lunch menu showcases his talents with its African-inspired fusion dishes.

The special R170 for two courses
R195 for three courses
About the restaurant Housed in a 20th-century Victorian house, this cool courtyard restaurant, set back from busy Kloof Street, is like stepping into the pages of The Great Gatsby. Hidden behind thick shrubs, you might miss it but, once inside, you’ll be happy you didn’t. The twinkling fairy lights and velvet cushions lining the garden area, as well as the warmly lit, romantic setting of the cosy-chic interior, makes this one of Kloof Street’s sexiest haunts for a special occasion, date night, or a no-excuses-needed meal with family and friends.
This summer, this popular haunt is giving you another reason to visit: a two- or three-course lunch for R170 and R195 respectively. Options include heavenly butternut, spinach and feta parcels, arancini balls, pan-fried Patagonian calamari, among others, for starters. Mains include potato gnocchi, grilled Chalmar steak, beer-battered kingklip, or a chicken salad. And a summery choice of lemon meringue or passion fruit panna cotta for a sweet finish.

Please note Meals are per person and cannot be shared. This special is on hold until mid-January during which, it’s available on request.
Good to know There’s an à la carte menu on Sundays, during which the live jazz is sure to hit all the right notes (1pm – 3pm).

The special R50 for two Stella Artois draughts every day during Happy Hour (4pm – 6pm)
About the restaurants Sotano on Bree is home to the Pintxos Bar that opened in March 2019. A cornerstone of northern Spanish culture, pintxos (pronounced “peen-chos”) are flavourful bar snacks, traditionally pierced by a toothpick, and enjoyed with alcohol following a hard day’s work. At Sotano, a range of cocktails, craft beers and South African wines are the perfect accompaniments to these pintxos, but we’re currently loving the Stella Artois Happy Hour deal: two draughts for R50. If you happen to find yourself on the Atlantic Seaboard, Sotano Mouille Point is offering the same beer-tastic deal. Cheers!
