About Us

Over 50 Burger Variations and Counting

Starting off as a small 30-seater over 15 years ago, the restaurant has grown in size along with its popularity.  Royale now spans two floors of dining areas and two more for The Waiting Room- one of Cape Town’s longest running bars/nightclubs.

Our menu boasts dozens of burger options with patty choices including pure beef, free-range chicken, ostrich and fish. We are also incredibly proud of our vegetarian and vegan burger section - the most expansive in the country. 

Besides our burgers, Royale is famous for double-thick shakes, served in over 20 flavours. In addition to regular shakes we also have a dedicated vegan “milk” shake menu.

See you at Royale!

Plans for the long weekend yet? We're open as normal on the public holidays, and only closed on Sunday (as always). Come through for lunch on a first come, first served basis, or give us a call to book for dinner on our upstairs restaurant level. Thanks to @jp.meganvanderberg for the photo!
Little bit of sun means we're feeling for the lighter options today- here's a bunless spiced lentil patty topped with humus, pickled red onion and fresh coriander, plus salad on the side to give you an idea of what we're going for. Remember we're really flexible with substitutions so you can customize your order to make your ultimate burger a reality!
Nothing beats the smell of fresh-baked burger buns in the morning 🤤 • Come get your burger fix from noon onwards. Monday, let's do this!
Happy weekend! While it's not payday yet, we've got burger options starting from R84 including your choice of side, meaning lunch or dinner won't break the bank. We also allow corkage at R45 per bottle of wine, and won't judge if you come armed with a bottle of Tassies, given the time of the month 😂• Photo by @moogie_87
Another work week circles to a close and we're prepping for Friday night by making plenty of our homemade mayo and S.O.B. chili sauce. We're ready for y'all so come on through 🌶
The upswing of the winter months is that sweet potatoes are in season, meaning our fresh-cut sweet potato chips cook to crispy perfection. Also, remember that you can mix sides at no extra charge, as seen here with a sweet/normal potato combo 🍠🥔🍠🥔
The colder it gets, the greater your stomach capacity #fact Today's chilly weather has us thinking we might just be able to finish off a Fat Bastard burger, like this one eaten by @hudge.eats We obviously have other, non-gigantic burgers, so come grab a bite either way 🍔🍴
We make our veggie patties from scratch, at Royale, daily. Each of these guys will grow up to be a different veg or vegan burger once cooked and topped with our (also) homemade sauces and seasonings. Come through and enjoy #meatfreemonday with us and know you're getting fresh, homemade goodness that's free from preservatives 🥕
Our falafel bowl is probably our most popular salad at the moment, and with good reason! We take fresh salad leaves, mix in olives and cherry tomatoes plus grated carrot, feta, and beetroot, and top that off with two sesame-encrusted falafel balls and then ON TOP OF THOSE goes some crunchy salsa and a hummus dressing.

Staff favourite=New Rooster burger: Crumbed free-range chicken patty topped with crispy bacon, fresh red onions and a generous helping of our homemade mayonnaise. Perfect for hangover and non hangover days alike 👐
Oh hi there sunny Wednesday! Today's weather pairs well with anything refreshing really, like @citizenbeer's Diplomat Czech Pilsner (on tap at the moment) or one of our delicious cocktails (try one of these strawberry-basil mules!) We've also got frozen fruit smoothies and of course A LOT of milkshakes, so come through and cool down ❄️ 🍓 🍻
Thanks to @cape_town_vegan for the heads up that some biodegradable straws contain a whey protein, meaning they aren't vegan-friendly. We are happy to say that our bio-straws come from Cape Cup and are made from corn, making them 100% vegan friendly. That means no matter whether you have a shake that's regular or vegan, we've got you covered in the straw department 👌
