Cape Town
Before buying tickets, I read reviews of Ethiopian Airlines flights, and it turns out that many satisfied travelers have good things to say about this airline.
Our flight was from Moscow to Cape Town with a three-hour layover in Addis Ababa. This was the most convenient flight.
You don't have to check in again during your layover; you just go through the transit area and wait for your next flight.
Food and drinks are offered on board.
Overall, it was quite comfortable.

Zuney Wagyu Burgers
With the increasing popularity of burger spots in Cape Town over the past few years, I decided to dedicate the latter half of 2025 to revisiting my favourites and putting them against each other to figure out my final ranking. I’ve settled for these six, and you’ll find my reasonings below.
6) Smasht.
A fantastic intro to the CPT burger spot scene with a spacious venue and a great drinks selection. The burger has made its way onto my favourites list for a reason, but it finds itself below the rest due to its lack of memorability in comparison, especially in the fries sector.
5) Brash
A stylish, retro US-diner style Smash burger spot in the heart of Sea Point. With their bold flagship store and the branding to match, it’s no wonder Brash quickly became a viral sensation. While the burger is phenomenal, it docks points in this ranking for its steep pricing and limited menu.
4) Zuney
Tucked away on Kloof Street, Zuney is not to be overlooked. Their soft, flavourful Wagyu burgers are a must-try and an experience like no other, let alone their Wagyu fried chips. But much like Brash, Zuney falls down the list for its hiked prices, yet it scores for its unique flavour.
3) Smokin’ Joes Jnr
Unlike the others, this is not a Cape Town original. But nestled just opposite Zuney, Smokin’ Joes Jnr offers an underrated alternative to the usual viral spots. With an extensive range of creatively constructed burgers and a much lower price range, Smokin’ Joes is definitely my king of Kloof.
2) Stud.
Stud is a spot I wish I found sooner. Meals feature magnificent fries and a branded burger bun - but don’t let that misguide you, this burger has a truly homely feel. From a price perspective it’s the perfect middle ground between cheap and expensive burger spot options, plus it has numerous locations in and around Cape Town to accommodate your itinerary. The Gardens location has never disappointed me.
1) MJ’s
My undisputed champion, despite being the youngest establishment, MJ’s has it all: a menu full of variety, a competitively low price range, friendly service, brilliant packaging, and most importantly, a monstrously delicious burger. The only fault I can think of is the limited seating in the store. But all things consider that simply can’t change my mind. One day I will discover what is in that sauce…
~
So there you have it! I should say that I haven’t gotten to every spot just yet, and I also didn’t include bigger restaurants like Hudson’s, as I thought this grouping was much fairer. But no matter which of these six you go to, you won’t leave unsatisfied. In 2026, I am certain that many more burger spots will be added to the Cape Town map - and my ranking radar.
