7 Recommended Burger Restaurants in Sydney

by Candice Larson Do your best!
A burger is a simple premise, but doing them well is a dark art. Burgers are everywhere. They are on cafe menus, at the bar in fine diners, and in just about every second food truck that is ever rolled onto a Sydney street.

Do you go with the classic sesame seed, potato, milk or brioche bun? Do you prefer American cheese, blue or cheddar? Caramelised onions, pickled or raw? Lettuce and tomato or cheese and pickles? Is your protein power chicken, fish, beef, or mushroom? And we haven’t even gotten to the question of fries yet. There are a thousand variations on a burger and still counting.

Now Sydney has long had a love affair with the burger and there so many of our dining destinations continually offering up their own take of this American classic. Below are some of the best burger restaurants:

Bar Ume

This does not feel like a burger bar. It feels like a bar that just happens to make a bacon and cheeseburger with sharp, snappy rice vinegar pickles, the warm golden glow of American cheese and mayo. And Craig’s katsu chicken burger is one of the best hot sandwiches we’ve eaten in this city. In fact, burgers, snacks, natural wine, sake and hip hop actually suit the place better in many way

Rockpool Bar & Grill

A central business district gem, Rockpool Bar & Grill has always been a prime spot for any local or visiting foodie. And the Wagyu Hamburger is by far one of the favourites on the bar menu. Its Blackmore patty is thick, juicy, and cooked as well as every other dish on the menu, served with bacon, gruyere cheese and zucchini pickle. The hand cut chips or the onion rings are a must, as is this burger.

Mary’s

Mary’s burgers have gained a cult following, serving up quality burgers. Like Maccas in style and shape, the Mary’s Burger is borderline addictive: incorporating the fancy finger work of ex-Tetsuya chef Luke Powell on the grill, with additional extras like trash-can-lid bacon adding a smoking hit. Accompany with a shot of Jack Daniels and you’ll opt for Mary’s over that shining yellow M any day.

Buns & Balls

Currently relocating away from the new lockdown laws, Buns and Balls beach-vibe cool made a splash when it opened its doors in the Cross last year. The biggest winner here is the classic chicken burger that makes the other (albeit certainly tasty) options pale in comparison. The chargrilled and marinated meat is juicy — and combined with cheese, tomato, lettuce, mayo and original Oporto recipe chilli that makes for a fresh and flavoursome mouthful.

Made by the Hill

Made by the Hill is it a restaurant, bar or cafe? They are pegging it as a 'social space', incorporating all of the above. You will find food from Surry Hills' Chur Burger – including the OG beef burger, Milo milkshakes, pulled pork and sweet potato fries. Behind the bar they will be shaking up a mix of easy drinking cocktails like Aperol Spritzers, strawberry and pomegranate Mojitos and espresso Martinis. If you want to keep the sugar a flowing, you will also find sweet treat kings Papa Pasticceria serving up cheesecakes, cannoli and tiramisu.

Chur Burger

Rising from the ashes of the fire that destroyed this Surry Hills hot spot last year, Chur Burger is one of this city’s most serious contenders when it comes to the best place to get a burger down your neck. The grilled beef and cheese, smothered in mustard mayo and accompanied with fresh tomato and pickle, is at the top of the menu for a reason.

Out of The Blue

Seafood is undoubtedly one of Sydney’s signature attractions, and this Clovelly burger joint always pulls a crowd. Get there early, but definitely get there, and grab the fish burger with chilli mayo: the slight spiciness is an ideal accompaniment to the fresh and tender fried fish. While the wait might be long, the service is friendly, and the small chip portions are not small.
