Our love for burgers is infinite; whatever shape or size, gourmet or fast food, chicken or beef, vegetarian or vegan. We cannot get enough.
It is the perfect antidote to late-night cravings, a healer of hangovers and a comforting dish that never disappoints.
The Chosen Bun is one of our favourite eateries for gluten-free burgers, offering both a GF bun and a lettuce wrap as a replacement. Our go-to burger is the golden phoenix with 150g of GF buttermilk fried chicken, honey sriracha, sesame, Asian slaw and kewpie. The flavours are big and beautiful, with the perfect hint of sweetness. Grab a side of GF sweet and spicy popcorn chicken and a decadent choc fudge shake to round out your meal.
In the heart of Grey Lynn is little old OG Tiger Burger, a local gourmet burger joint that feeds the masses. Sit down with a yuja stormy cocktail in hand and peruse the outstanding selection of burgers on the menu. Tiger Burger specialises in Korean fusion burgers and sides; the flavours are unforgettable, and the burgers are heavenly. The Yachae burger owns our soul; swap the bun for a GF bun or a lettuce wrap and delight your tastebuds with a kumara and carrot fritter, edamame guacamole, creamy slaw and egg-free mayo; this burger is also vegetarian. If you have worked up an insatiable hunger, take on the double kimcheese burger. Better yet, they’ve opened a second venue on Dominion Road!
Works of art; that is what RE Burger creates; the burger joint has travelled all the way from Dunedin. Already it has amassed a dedicated following of love-struck burger enthusiasts. The monster-sized burgers are incredibly indulgent and mouth-wateringly delicious. Choose between snack size, normal or the deluxe XL burgs; these are insanely large and we will happily take on the challenge. The V2 veggie burger is one of our favourites, with a black bean patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles, aioli and jalapeño relish. RE Burger also offers GF buns, combo deals and add-ons for your burger to personalise the experience.
Plant-based burger goodness? Yes, please. Wise Boys Burgers are taking veggie burgers to a whole new level, and we cannot wait to work our way through the menu. Opt for a classic-style burger like the avo supreme with a smashed patty, ‘bacon’, avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onion, tomato relish and Wise Boy’s signature garlic aioli. Throw in a GF bun, and you are set. Other options include the spicy mex, satay fix, the wise boy and the classic cheese. Wise Boys Burgers has a relaxed and welcoming ambience that makes it a great spot for a casual bite to eat.
Whatever the occasion, you can find us at The Butcher’s Son; we love the plant-based cuisine; it tastes amazing and showcases the versatility of vegetarian fare. There are three burgers on the menu, and all of them can be made GF; there is the beyond ‘beef’ and ‘cheese’ burger, the sun fed ‘chicken’ burger and the falafel burger. The latter pairs mildly spiced falafel bites, lettuce, tomato, onions, mango chutney, cucumber and mint riata. The Butcher’s Son’s entire menu caters to a variety of dietary requirements, and we highly recommend this spot for GF diners!
