Best Bacon Burgers in Cape Town

With Cape Town being one of the foodie capitals of the world, it doesn’t come as a surprise that it’s home to some of the best bacon burgers ever! Of course, we’re not referring to the average fast-food bun and patty combo; we’re talking about layers of freshly made goodness, topped off with the irresistible flavour of bacon. And while some creations might be more adventurous than others, you are bound to discover a burger that makes your mouth water.

A Touch of Madness- Observatory


Situated in the hip, eclectic suburb of Observatory, a Touch of Madness is little foodie gem that offers street food-inspired dishes, amongst others.  Undoubtedly, the highlight of the menu is a bacon burger that is finished off with cheese and jalapeno peppers.  It’s delicious and tangy with a bit of a kick.

Rick’s Café Americain- Gardens


Inspired by the iconic 1942 film Casablanca, Rick’s Café is equal parts trendy and elegant. In summer, patrons can enjoy the outside deck, which boasts gorgeous views of Table Mountain; and in winter, guests can enjoy their meals in space that features no less than three fireplaces.  Unsurprisingly, the food is to die for, and one of the eatery’s burger is a so-called BMB, which stands for bacon, mushrooms and Brie) and comes with cranberry jelly and rocket. Sounds yummy, right?

Café Caprice- Camps Bay


If you’re Capetonian, there is no way you won’t know about this Camps Bay hotspot, and if you’re a visitor, some are bound to recommend this seaside eatery should you ask for advice on where to eat out in the Mother City.  And the king of the menu?  The aptly named Royal burger, of course.  This tower of goodness has layers of cheddar cheese, beer-battered onion rings, fresh chilli and streaky bacon.  It’s a must-try bacon burger!
