Royale Burgers, Long Street

Everyone raves about Royale Burgers, but to be honest I don’t go out in Long Street and I enjoy Hudson’s Burgers so that’s where I normally go.  But one Friday night when our plans to go up Table Mountain fell apart we decided to stay in town and find somewhere vibey to eat. 

If you’re like me who hates parallel parking it’s an absolute mission to find a decent parking bay anywhere on Loop or Long Street.  We eventually parked behind a church in a parking that was easy for me to get in and out of. 

We tried “Dim Sum” on Long Street but unfortunately they were fully booked (I definitely want to head to “Dim Sum” in the future) so our next option was Royale.  

We received our glasses of water fast enough, but it took a while for the waitress to get to us so we could place our orders.  It didn’t really matter as we had a lot to catch up on, but it makes a difference when you’re ready to leave and there’s no one around.  Since it was the weekend of the “Cape Town Cycle Tour” there were more people in Cape Town than normal and everywhere seemed to be strained when it came to waiters and waitresses. 

Our cocktails were delicious and our food was good, so that makes up for it.  My fries covered more than half my plate, and my burger was pretty good.  But I prefer the atmosphere at Hudsons and their sweet potato fries are delicious.
