Cafe Margaret är en del av Margaret-familjen, där huvudrestaurangen har utsetts till Australiens bästa restaurang och även världens näst bästa restaurang. Och Cafe Margaret har också fått utmärkelser för sina burgare, så självklart var de ett givet besök när vi var i Sydney. På menyn fanns en burgare som bestod av 160 gram kött, ost, lök, pickles och en burgardressing vid namn rose mayo för 25 AUD (155 kronor), plus en portion pommes frites för 12 AUD (75 kronor).

Burgaren serverades färdigmonterad med kronan ovanpå burgaren, fast med alla grönsakerna på sidan. Vi uppskattade visserligen valmöjligheten att välja egna grönsaker, men det var svårt att faktiskt lägga dem i burgaren själv när allt satt ihop med den smälta osten. Köttet var fint tillagat till medium rare och hade en härligt djup smak, men tyvärr så hade inte köttet fått vila och det läckte rejält med köttsafter. Hälen hade inte riktigt en chans mot detta, och safterna samlades dessutom i en liten skål i salladsbladet. Utöver det så var brödet fluffigt och lätt, men hade verkligen behövt rostas mycket hårdare för att hantera allt. Ett annat problem var att köttpucken hade mindre diameter än brödet, vilket gjorde att det på slutet fanns betydligt mer bröd än kött kvar. Picklesen var tydligt syrliga, vilket tillförde en fräsch kontrast till burgaren. Men vi hade gärna sett mer lök eftersom det bara fanns ett fåtal bitar på hela burgaren. Pommes fritesen var riktigt goda och välfriterade.

Vi gillade den enkla burgaren på Cafe Margaret, och rekommenderar dessutom övriga menyn och gärna både ostron och kötträtter här eller hos syskonrestaurangen.

In English

Cafe Margaret is part of the Margaret family, whose main restaurant has been named Australia’s best restaurant and also the second best restaurant in the world. Cafe Margaret has also received awards for its burgers, so of course it was a must-visit when we were in Sydney. The menu featured a burger consisting of 160 grams of beef, cheese, onions, pickles and a burger sauce called rose mayo for 25 AUD (16.5 USD), plus a portion of french fries for 12 AUD (8 USD).

Our burger was served fully assembled with the crown on top, but with all the vegetables on the side. We appreciated the option to choose our own vegetables, but it was difficult to actually put them in the burger ourselves since they’d already assembled the crown on the melted cheese. The meat was nicely cooked to medium rare and had a wonderfully deep flavour, but unfortunately, it had not been allowed to rest and was leaking meat juices. The heel couldn’t really compete with this, and the juices also collected in a small bowl in the lettuce leaf. Other than that, the bread was fluffy and light, but should have be toasted much more to handle everything. Another thing was that the meat patty was smaller than the bun, so in the end there was way more bun than meat left. The pickles were distinctly sour, which added a fresh contrast to the burger. However, we would have liked to see more onion, as there were only a few pieces on the entire burger. The french fries were really well-cooked and full of flavour.

We liked the simple burger at Cafe Margaret, and we also recommend the rest of the menu and both the oyster and meat dishes here or at the sister restaurant.

🍔 Review № 1381

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @black_bear_burger ★★★★☆

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
