Hi Friends,
Salt and pepper. Fish and chips. Bacon and eggs. There are some things that just taste better together – and a bagel burger takes the cake!
Bagel Burger is a recent restaurant innovation from Larry Hodes, who has created a gastro-neighbourhood from a corner in Birdhaven. This tiny suburb in Rosebank and its surrounding areas are spoilt for choice, with the quaint courtyard setting of Arbour Café; the Gourmet Grocer, a reinvented space coming out of the heart of lockdown; The Dark Kitchen, the only 9th slice pizza in the world takeout offering; The Lucky Peach, House of Ramen as well as Bagel Burger offering a deliciously crafted menu featuring two firm favourites – a burger, complete with a bagel for the bun.

Operating on a delivery and curbside collection basis, Bagel Burger’s meat patties are made from 180g free-range Wagyu infused beef chuck patty, topped with lettuce, tomato and onion, and served on a griddled bagel with your choice of aside. The bagel is a New York-esque masterpiece, perfectly crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, resulting from hours of hand rolling, boiling, then finally baking.

The toppings maketh the bagel burger – from the Classic Burger’s homemade pickles, roasted garlic mayo, caramelised onion, to the Mexican Burger’s mozzarella, cheddar, jalapeño mayo and bacon, there’s a flavour for every craving. Vegetarians are not left out of the burger bagel craze, with both a vegetarian option consisting of a beetroot chickpea patty and a Beyond Burger patty for vegans. Chicken burger fans have their pick of a Ranch Burger consisting of a 200g chicken breast, caramelised onion, homemade pickles and jalapeño mayo, or a Southern Burger, a delicious concoction of pulled roasted chipotle chicken, homemade BBQ sauce and tangy slaw.
