A narrow alleyway off Roodehek Street in the Gardens neighborhood of Cape Town‘s central business district will lead you to the largest burgers in the city. The Dog’s Bollock’s, best described as a mix of snarky and charming, has made this tiny restaurant incredibly popular among locals. First, the waitress explains the chalkboard menu and takes your table’s order, explaining it’s an ""interactive"" restaurant experience. Then, your name is put on a chalkboard near the open-air kitchen. They’ll yell your name when your order is ready and then it’s up to you to go retrieve it. The patties are juicy and the toppings plentiful. I particularly enjoyed the freshly baked buns from a nearby bakery in Woodstock. Feel free to bring your own alcoholic drinks (no corkage fees at the time of writing), though they do offer their own Dog’s Bollock’s brand beer and wine, which is also worth a try.
