Gibson's Gourmet Burgers and Ribs

 Before I begin, can I just point out how ridiculously awesome this song is?

Monday night has become famous in South Africa for the night when everyone gets together and goes to the Spur for 2-for-1 burgers. Probably one of the greatest restaurant specials ever to anyone on a budget who is looking for some sweet comfort food.

Since its emergence, more and more upmarket restaurants have release similar specials (but with a slightly higher bill at the end of the night.) Gibson's Gourmet Burgers and Ribs at the V&A Waterfront is no different. My housemate Kelly started a new job recently so we took her out to Gibson's to try out the Burger special and celebrate her achievement.

The original plan was to get the the waterfront earlier to skip the queues but we were running late and only got there at about 19:30. The queue wasn't too long and it was made bearable by the quirky and friendly hostess who kept everyone happy with her light banter and by keeping the tables turning. Another pro was the offer of wine tasting in the line. We had a taster of the house rose which was absolutely delicious!

The restaurant itself is actually quite small but remained full until quite late due to the popularity of the place and we soon leaned why! The burgers were on another level and the 2-for-1 special was a welcome friend when the burgers cost up to R120 each. This sounds steep, I know, but with generous, handmade pattys and top-notch toppings, this place was well worth the wait and the price tag.

If you're looking for a change of pace, try is out around pay day. You won't be disappointed!
