    Possibly the best milkshakes you can get in Cape Town. Atmosphere is cozy and service is friendly and relaxed. Large selection of burgers and options to create your own pizzas. Huge variety of deluxe milkshakes with extraordinary flavours.

    Veg burger is amazing... the beetroot +Feta combination is amazing... but it's not their specialty to get the best shaken margarita... Vibe is very cosy and cute for couples or intermit friends of max 4.

    We had Father’s Day one week early at this fun place before going to a movie. Lots of choices of delicious healthy food and drink. Tasty and quick, with prices to please one too. I had a great plate of sweet potato chips followed by a coffee. Appealing vibe, sociable ambience and original decor of shared space with Root Bar and the coffee shop.

    I visited the small Royale Eatery in the V&A Waterfront Mall on Monday August 15 for the Mexican crumpet with guacamole and sweet potato fries with sour cream dipping sauce. Got food poisoning and was sick all night, stomach problems lasted the whole week. The staff were very apologetic but seems there may be an issue with cleanliness!

    I got some chicken burger and sweet potato fries and a large strawberry milkshake (non. Vegan one). I got the burger with pineapple which is a weird combination but it worked well, credit to the chef. The sweet potato fries were lacking taste. Even with salt they were still a little bland. The milkshake was excellent. Truly very thick and could definitely work as a meal itself for those with small stomachs. Overall, the place loses a star because of the fries. Otherwise, it's a good place for burgers and shakes with lots of options for meat eaters and vegan folks.

    Wow! Just went there for the first time, while being in Cape Town for the first time, and had the best time. Such friendly and lively staff, fantastic and quick service, good and reasonable pricing, and all in all just AMAZING burgers. No regrets at all, easily the best burger I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Looking forward to coming back at some point to devour another one!

  • 5/5 Stu P. 4 years ago on Google
    It's hard to make a great veggie burger but this one comes close. The bun was super-fresh and the fries were perfect. Staff very nice.

    Vegan cheeseburger, sweet potato fries and an Oreo double thick milkshake made with vegan ice cream. Loved it!

  • 4/5 Matthew M. 2 years ago on Google
    A delicious burger with all the fresh ingredients and flavours that you'd desire. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere to sit down and enjoy your meal too. On a side note, still wondering if there was a Pulp Fiction reference in mind when naming this burger joint...

  • 5/5 Blessing C. 2 years ago on Google
    Best burgers, shakes and fries in town. With a nice view from the sea , smart and welcoming team😊. Wonderful place to be at😊😊

  • 4/5 Jani 2 years ago on Google
    The food was great and awesome service. Just not a place to sit down and eat. Feels very take-away, and also opperates like it. But cool experience.

  • 4/5 Tyran B. 3 years ago on Google
    The Royal Eatery sold the most divine hamburgers I've ever had. Simply delicious. When in Cape Town, you have to pay them a visit over lunch time and enjoy one of their many different types of burgers. You won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Mercedes T. 5 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my lunch in this restaurant. The burger was really tasty and juicy, also the choice of sauces which have been added matched perfectly. I would recommend ordering the frozen lemonade it tasted really refreshing and good. Great place!

  • 5/5 Rigby Kennedy (. 6 years ago on Google
    Such a creative menu with so many options!! Staff were very helpful with accommodating dietary preferences + needs. Very happy with the vegan selection as well. Will definitely back to try more!

  • 4/5 Angela S. 4 years ago on Google
    The milkshakes and burgers were great, the fries... not that great.

  • 5/5 Talya H. 1 year ago on Google
    Our food was delicious...really great vegan burger and vegan oreo milkshake and both massive! Such good value for money and the staff were lovely and so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to try the Moullie Point one too!

  • 4/5 Clara C. 5 years ago on Google
    Bucket list tick that doesn’t impress much. I came for the burgers and stayed for the milkshake. The atmosphere is casual and quaint with windows showing the bustling Long Street outside. My waitress was left in charge of my burger and milkshake. The MS was a lemon meringue and it was amazing. Tart and sweet at the same time. Pity about the environmentally destructive doubly straws though. The burger came quickly with cold sweet potato chips which were sent back and replaced with a piping hot set. Of course by this time the burger was cold... it was not a big burger. Very much a thinnish patty with a lot of dressing on it. It was ok. The milkshake was great. First time. Last time

  • 5/5 karin a. 6 years ago on Google
    Definitely the best vegetarian burger I have ever tasted.. And I really am not a veggie person but I have been back and ordered it more than one.. Now that screams Aaaawwwwesome!! But the best is yet to come.. Pudding and there milkshakes definitely brings all the boys.. And girls to the Royal 👑 Eatery.. I love I crave them and sometimes I just need to have them.. But hey go taste them for your self. They also serve interesting chips, fish cakes and burgers that even a lamb will not be able to resist.. When you walk down Long street you deserve a Royal treat

    The breakfast roll special never disappoints and is always a great choice. You can also enjoy a hot beverage of your choice from the Seattle coffee menu. I highly recommend trying this item on a Monday, or any day when you need a boost to start your day off right.

  • 1/5 GJ Cape T. 1 year ago on Google
    We popped in to Royale eatery, at Twenty on Vineyard, around 8pm Monday evening. Ordered 2 x 160g Royale with cheese, no lettuce, no tomato - with chips, and 2 Butterscotch Milkshakes. 30 mins later, order arrives incorrect. No caramelised onions, no pickle, no aioli. We are then asked if we wanted those things, even though we heard her call the order specifying no Lettuce no Tomato, just how we had ordered. Sloppy service, in my opinion. Especially considering we were one of 2 tables in the ENTIRE place. Regardless, the Burgers were TERRIBLE! Dry and tasteless patties, the same patties that seem to be the standard at a lot of places that call themselves "burger joints" these days. We never got the pickles, never got the aioli. Milkshakes were average, but you're better off going around the corner to Hudson's or The Creamery.

    Value for money! Friendly service from the staff. Try the make your own burger option, you can add in many toppings as you want! The patty was little too dry but besides that, everything was 💯

    I’ll keep it short, awful, nobody there but the noisy staff who were less than interested - burgers dry. chips tasteless, no my dear, give this one a miss,

  • 2/5 Jacques N. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be the absolute best burgers in town (Bop Bop being my favorite), but since they changed their menu the burger quality has gone seriously down. Have tried both the beef and chicken burgers now and on both occasions the patties were dry and bland. Very disappointing.

  • 4/5 Ingrid S. 4 years ago on Google
    Brilliant burgers! None better

  • 4/5 Stephan W. 3 years ago on Google
    Someone told me this was Salma Hayek's favourite burger in the world. I didn't see her. But the burgers are out of this world. Good hat collection too, even if you're not allowed to wear them while eating.

  • 5/5 Axel G. 3 years ago on Google
    Try the double cream milk shake - awesome

  • 4/5 Nils G. 6 years ago on Google
    Lekker burger...really nice paddies with a special taste, you don’t find often. Chorizo and coriander is a good mix you should try. They also have nice beer and a good service. Mojito should also be good...haven’t tasted, but my neighbors. Prices are average to bit pricey...still worth the money 💰 ✌️

    Delicious ostrich burger and banana & peanut butter milkshake

  • 5/5 Daniel D. 5 years ago on Google
    I am surprised at the negative reviews about the Vegan and Vegetarian burgers. I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed by the vegan cheeseburger or the vegan do it burger. Meal size is generous even for a big guy and the ingredients, especially the garnish, is good quality and fresh! "milk" shakes are also outstanding.

  • 5/5 Dennis Victor C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Douglas Ian S. 3 years ago on Google
    Sadly it is not as good as it used to be. There are now places nearby that serve better burgers at more reasonable prices with a higher level of service.

  • 1/5 Patrick M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) No response to 2 emails for table reservations! Personally passed by and reserved a table. That worked. Unfortunately food didn't work as there was no avocado at 6 p.m. Almost all salads and a burger are with avocado! Absolutely unacceptable. Never again. (Original) Keine Antwort auf 2 Emails zur Tisch Reservierung! Persönlich vorbei gegangen und einen Tisch reserviert. Das funktionierte. Essen hat leider nicht funktioniert, da es um 18 Uhr bereits keine Avocado mehr gab. Fast alle Salate und auch ein Burger sind mit Avocado! Absolut inakzeptabel. Nie wieder.

  • 5/5 Mick H. 4 years ago on Google
    The range and quality of burgers here is superb, and there is an equally cool range of milkshakes. Great vegetarian burger options too.

  • 5/5 Evershed M. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is incredible. The service was excellent the food was beyond stellar, the atmosphere is supremely comfortable! I had the blue cheese royale with bacon and an espresso malt. Just perfect after a long day on the mountain. I will definitely be back. Visited 24/02/2020 6:30-7:30p best place I’ve been to on Long street so far.

    Amazing burgers , good service

  • 3/5 ekes g. 4 years ago on Google
    It's been a while since I ate at Royale, and things have slid just a little. No Swiss cheese! Sour cream that looks like a puddle of mayo... and the burgers are not bad, but not as good as the once were. Particularly the basic veggie patty – once the best in town, now just ok. But shakes are still great, and atmosphere still fun. Worth going – will be even more worth it if they do a little menu rejuvenatin'.

  • 2/5 Brian B. 4 years ago on Google
    The size and taste of their hamburgers are extremely worth it, this is what makes it worthwhile buying a hamburger from them. . Also a huge selection of various craft beers and ciders also available. Inside seating is tight and not very spacious. They have only 1 toilet in the rest rooms and it doesn't even have a toilet seat.

  • 3/5 Steve B. 4 years ago on Google
    Good! But no longer THE best burger in CT

    I love the high vibe of this place - if you need a space to connect peacefully with a friend or family - this is the place. Food wise, their vegan burgers are way too mushy, hence the 3stars. Recommended for carnivores.
