London's Best Burgers

Burgers take pride of place on menus across London, but how many of them actually deserve your time and money? To help you out, here are my favorite buns the capital has to offer.
 Bar Boulud

 

Ordering a burger at a French restaurant borders on sacrilege – that is, unless you’re in the Mandarin Oriental’s Bar Boulud. The bistro offers three different variations on the American classic but it’s the ‘Frenchie’ burger that really takes le gateau, stacking rillon, fondue, Morbier cheese and Dijon mustard on top of a juicy, perfectly medium-rare beef patty.

Honest Burgers

While it's harder than ever to get a seat at Honest ('no reservation' policies and burger bars are comfy bedfellows) the food more than makes up for it; aged beef cooked medium-rare, with a dollop of caramelised red onion marmalade in a soft brioche bun. And the rosemary-dusted fries will vanish in seconds.

Patty & Bun

 

Colloquially known as P&B, for those in the know, P&B's own-made relishes and mayos make their burgers some of the finest in London. Their now multiple venues are popular, so you may need to queue but trust us the lashings of liquid cheese, prime beef, glossy buns and sides are worth ever minute in the cold.

Hawksmoor

 

Sure, you've heard about their thick juicy steaks but the insider tip when visiting the Hawksmoor is to head to the downstairs bar for their house burger. As well as the same high quality beef they use for steaks they use bone marrow to create an intense rich flavour. You'll save a few quid too.
