Our Favourite Gourmet Burgers with a Twist

Burgers are known as quick and simple fast food that are tasty, satisfying and fills you up like a regular meal should. Paired with fries and a cup of soft drink, it is simple but surely an indulgence.

But today, the heart-warming hamburger has since come a long way, and has been reinvented in bistros, bars, and restaurants in the recent years. So, if burgers are close to your heart, check out this list of the best and most affordable gourmet burgers we’ve tried.

1. The Connoisseur Concerto (TCC)’s Mentaiko Chicken Burger

TCC is one of the leading chains of boutique cafés, serving up gourmet food and fancy beverages. Although they’re not really known for their burgers, this doesn’t mean they’re not any good! The Mentaiko Chicken Burger is a tender, grilled chicken patty, with a layer of spicy cod roe sauce and soft, creamy avocadoes served between toasted charcoal buns. The burger comes with a side of fresh greens and warm truffle fries, making this a complete, gourmet meal – and for under $20!

2. The Connoisseur Concerto (TCC)’s Wagyu Beef Burger

TCC has other burger offerings, such as their decadent Wagyu Beef Burger. The luxuriously marbled wagyu beef patty is served between toasted charcoal buns with grilled tiger prawns, a homemade garlic shrimp floss, and a citrus-truffle dressing to complement both the earthy richness of the wagyu and the freshness of the shrimp – making this the best surf and turf option there is! The burger also comes with a side of fresh greens and truffle fries, for only $23.80!

3. Wolf Burger’s Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger

The Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger is surprisingly affordable for the quality it delivers. Imagine crispy, buttermilk-battered, golden fried chicken, served between two soft, pillowy buns, and salted egg mayo. Add in their homemade slaw of julienned carrots and beetroot, and you get something short of awesome. And you know what what they say about Wolf Burgers, it’s ‘so good you will wolf them down’!

4. Wolf Burger’s Magic Shrooms Burger

If fried chicken and burgers don’t add up for you, try their Magic Shrooms Burger instead. With freshly ground beef patties cooked to the done-ness of your choice, the burger is dressed with sautéed, truffled mushrooms, caramelised onions, and melted Swiss cheese. The patties are juicy, and the sweetness of the onions and the gooey-ness of the cheese are brought together by the luxurious, decadent lift of the truffles.

5. Table Manners’ King’s Burger

Table Manners takes alfresco dining to the next level with its fancy outdoor pavilion overlooking a small indoor garden, which sets the scene for your next gourmet burger experience. The King’s Burger is a generous portion of bacon, a juicy beef patty, a delectable onion relish, gherkins, and cheddar. This is crowned, finally, with a glorious fried egg – served sunny side-up! The burger comes with truffle fries and their house salad, making this a great meal to have for a leisure lunch, together with after-work drinks or over brunch with friends!

6. Ollie Kitchen & Bar’s Classic Burger

Ollie’s Classic ($14.90) is every burger fan’s staple – the classic cheeseburger. Ollie’s Classic comes with a juicy, 180g grilled beef patty, caramelised onions, melted cheddar, crisp romaine lettuce, and juicy tomatoes, served between golden, crispy, yet soft brioche buns. Ollie’s Classic is definitely the grownup, luxurious throwback of the burgers we know and love.

7. Ollie Kitchen & Bar’s BBQ Pork Burger

Ollie’s best-selling burger, on the other hand, is their BBQ Pork Burger ($17.90). Served with grilled pineapple rings, a juicy, tender pork patty with their secret barbecue salsa, on top of crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes, the burger is served piping hot between toasted, black sesame seed–dusted brioche buns. The sweetness and the acidity of the pineapple help to cut through the richness of the patty, balancing and enhancing the flavour of the entire burger!
