We eat. We drink. We review.
Let me start off this review by saying that any restaurant offering only one, yes 1, type of cuisine ONLY will not last very long if it does not do it consistently well. The fact that Craft has been around at this location for almost 5 years tells a story. We, at Burger Brews, felt…
If you are reading this having never heard of Perseverance Tavern, where have you been for the last 210 years?! This establishment, officially recognised as the oldest pub in South Africa, opened in 1808. It began as a place to stay for travellers disembarking from ships at Cape Town’s Castle and received its official wine…
A victory against South Korea. That was all that was required for Germany in order to have set up a mouth-watering clash against Belgium in the first of the knockout phases of the Football World Cup 2018. Alas, it was not to be as the defending champions failed in their quest and were dumped out…
No, this is not intended to be the beginning to a joke. I am truly asking whether anyone reading this article has ever heard of this bar. I am willing to bet my oldest dog that the answer from a very high majority of you will be no. In fact, the only reason the other…

I am often asked by people (who know me as being “that bru” from Burger Brews), “Where have you experienced your best burger?” My answer will invariably be one of the restaurants which I have reviewed. However, based on what a call-in listener poll on Cape Talk a year or so ago determined, the best…
Mondiall, wonderfully situated in the V&A Waterfont, has an extremely favourable reputation among foodies. The question my fellow bru’s and I were there to answer was whether it would have a favourable reputation with us. The answer was, most definitely, an emphatic yes! We reserved a table well in advance as, with the restaurant running…
“Beer comes first!” That is the philosophy by which Ross McCulloch, co-owner of Jack Black’s Brewery and Taproom, lives by. In light of Cape Town’s devastating drought we, at Burger Brews, found ourselves asking the question: With the possibility of Day Zero on Cape Town’s horizon, how will beer come anywhere, let alone first without…
The other bru’s and I made our way back to Park Rd in Gardens, this time for a visit to one of the best-known and most popular restaurants in the vicinity – Rick’s Café Americain (yes, this is spelt correctly). Upon entering this establishment, by way of a narrow entrance way (which leads into what…
