LETS TALK ABOUT OUR FOOD
At Ground Culture, our food philosophy is simple: good food brings people together.
Whether you’re sitting down at Ground Culture Café in Observatory or grabbing a burger from one of our food trucks across Cape Town, we focus on fresh flavours, quality ingredients, and authentic local taste. Locally sourced, proudly South African. Each burger is smashed on a hot grill for that crispy-edged, juicy finish that smash-burger lovers rave about. Eat with us, wherever you are
Order in store, grab a takeaway from our food trucks, or order on Uber Eats. Whether you’re in Observatory, Claremont, Sea Point or Blouberg, there’s always a Ground Culture smash burger close by.
We believe that great food starts with great ingredients. That’s why every burger, wrap, panini, and side is made with ingredients sourced from local suppliers in Cape Town and across South Africa.
