The holy grail of burgers!
  • Since a few people think they will take a trip on the newly opened London Overground to check out #Meateasy, I thought I'd add a few others for the burger aficionados. A group of us go every month to a new burger place and so far, the best one in my opinion is at the Hawksmoor.

    Here are some others - http://youngandfoodish.com/london/top-10-burgers-in-london/

    Always on the lookout for the King of burgers so any tips more than welcome.

  • That's awfully kind. I rate Monkeynuts in Crouch End rather highly.

  • Buy them on line from Donald Russell superb !

  • Good to see Pappagone appearing in the Top Ten Pizza's in London list. No sign of Venezia...

  • We're a fan of Monkeynuts too. Its good for Sunday breakfast too - nice and quiet.

    One for another thread, but the missus had lunch in there with Brendon Fraser once, when he was here shooting Inkheart with Matt King, her cousin's husband.

  • I wish I hadn't looked at the burger list now; it's a long time until dinner.

  • That's quite a good little blog isn't it. Never seen it before.

    Also, I want a burger now.

  • ...sorry tosscat, that was my little joke.....

  • It was really good.

  • Ok, this made me finally get around to writing my first comment. I'd recommend Stapleton. Not sure it's the king of burgers (can't imagine it's as good as Hawksmoor, but haven't been there yet) but it's local, really tasty and I think £9 inc chips, so I was impressed. And I promise I'm not an employee (or an estate agent). Just been a bit slack with registering.

    ps love this forum
  • Meateasy is very good. Get there very early, it was rammed by 6.30. Don't get fries they're dull dull dull, but get another burger to share instead (and onion rings of course). Quite delicious, and a very easy 40 minutes away. Not local, but...

  • Did you get the Highbury extension back?

  • Yes. It's fine, seems a bit slow but provided you've got something to do it's going in the right direction.

  • Quick trip to California and have an In-and-Out burger,job done.

  • mmmmmmm, in-and-out

    You're probably enough of a hippy to also like their progressive employment policies

  • Me and her had burgers at the Shaftesbury last night and they were brilliant. The hand made burgers were seriously good and the chef himself asked how we wanted them. But the stars of the show were the chips. M'lady reckons they are the best she has ever had and we were even moved to find out how he does them.

    He answer was complicated. Just go.

    (£8.50 or, I think, £9.50 if you add cheese and bacon)

  • Burgerfuel, NZ everytime. They're 9.50 too, but in NZ dollars. Yum.

    Just been on website interesting . In my opinion the burgers at Broadway market are the best & I still like Tootsies . I remember the first at Dingwalls Club Camden Lock & Maxwells in Hampstead.
    As for Cafes I wrote :
    The Front Room in Stroud Green [ Finsbury Park] does a mean coffee & carrot cake . Reminiscent of a sixties hippie cafe it entices everyone. Patisserie Valerie Soho & Marylebone has cakes to die for.

    Also nearby is a French Cafe at Ronalds Road near Holloway Road / highbury Library .

    As for Pizzas I wrote still can't beat Pizza Express such as Highgate for the Margueritta.Used to like Pizzeria Porchettas Stroud Green Road but do not take away well.
  • Burger tip :

    Cafe Khoa round the corner from Leicester Sq. station, south east exit Charing Cross Rd., next to Albery theatre, adjacent to J.Sheekeys etc.
  • Fergburger is better than Burgerfuel though. In case anyone happens to be in NZ and gets the craving.
  • Bar Music's burgers are phenomenal (Curtain Road, off old st)
  • Must stop reading this until after lunch.

    At least I have meateasy to look forward to on Saturday.

  • Meateasy was mind-blowingly good. Best burger I have ever had. Same goes for the macaroni and cheese. I second what tosscat said about the boring fried though - don't bother. The onion rings were pretty substantial.

  • Andy- that smarts, I ain't no hippy, I'm a trot with gourmet burger pretensions. Cut us some slack.

  • Has anybody seen the 50p burger offer for McDonalds in the Sun?

  • I've been to Fergburger in NZ and I've been to the Meatwagon (now Meateasy). Different styles of burger with Ferg going for the more gourmet approach and Meatwagon going for the perfect no-fuss burger. Meatwagon wins easily.

Howdy, Stranger!
