Kerry-Anne found a two-for-one coupon for Gourmet Burger (a restaurant that we've been meaning to try out for some time) in a promotional flyer a while ago. We eventually got around to visiting the restaurant, and oh my, it really was pretty awesome.
Kerry-Anne had a chicken burger, covered with Camembert cheese and cranberry sauce. I had a traditional beef burger with a creamy mushroom sauce. (menu). Both were pretty darn good, but what made the outing great was that our waitress was friendly, smart, and efficient.
I don't think they're normally as quiet as the photo portrays it is. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, which appears to be the perfect time for a quiet lunch out. (map)

For those in Jo’burg – try Dukes Burger in Greenside … even more wackier burgers than Gourmet Burger (http://www.jhblive.com/live/review_view.jsp;jsessionid=9462EEE0673499A30429F8839C05DC48?review_id=43697)

Post authorThanks Alapan – perhaps I’ll get to try out Dukes when next I’m in Jozi. :)

My word that Menu does look tempting (fattening yes but…)ok I’ve made yet another note in my little black book :)

Post authorNo no Bev, it’s not fattening at all. Food can never be considered fattening when one’s on vacation. ;)

It is amazing that gourmet burgers are all the rage that spawned resturants like Royale Eatery and Hudson and now to add another one to the list, Gourmet Burger. It is just such a pity that no pricing is on the menu at all. But after eating at Royale Eatery a few months ago and really enjoying it, I wouldn’t mind giving Gourmet Burger a spin.

Post authorHi Glen, yeah – I’d also like to see the pricing on the website. If I recall, the burgers were around R60, depending on which you ordered.
