BREAK IT DOWN NOW

We have to get down to the patty and bun. Beef & Liberty burgers are some of the best I’ve tasted. The restaurant claims to nail the burger to bun ratio – they are not lying. Every bite is a delight. It’s surprising to find how much the experience is enhanced by (of course the warm and friendly staff) really good buns. Liberty buns are soft – akin to brioche buns – HOWEVER they do not disintegrate with the weight of the burger or the moisture from the toppings and sauces. It’s bread perfection.

The burger menu is a collection of classics and some flavour-sensations. It’s hard to make a decision. What’s more, every burger option can also be turned veg by replacing the patty for an Impossible Meat burger ($20). This is a revolution for vegans and vegetarians who normally have just one vegetarian burger option on a menu.

The menu also includes some non-Impossible options (Beetroot burger, Falafel burger) if Impossible is not your bag. Although I would encourage everyone to try an Impossible burger here, whether you’re a veggie or not. It’s a unique experience!! The waitress serving recommended it be cooked ‘medium’. It looks and bleeds like beef. The pinkish interior of the medium-done Impossible burger was cool but a little weird for me. In spite of this, at just 240 calories per Impossible patty the burger does not feel greasy or heavy at all. A great experience on the whole.

The unsung heroes? The Liberty Fries!!!! Never underestimate perfectly-cooked fries. Crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. Lip-smacking flavour without too much salt. You don’t even need sauce with it to get your mouth salivating but the unique sauce served with each burger certainly pairs really well with the fries. Bravo Beef & Liberty!
