109 Lygon St, Brunswick East; 03 9380 4343
Although we’re in Brunswick East, when it comes to hamburgers our preference has been to head over to Dannys on St Georges Rd for special burger occasions. One night, after declining a 40-minute wait at Andrew’s in Albert Park, we popped into a previously untried takeaway shop much closer to home – Fishbone on Lygon St – for burger and chips. Things looked promising from when we saw the size of a small chips (more than the two of us could eat, not that we didn’t try!) They only got better when we started on the burgers.
The patties are moist, flavoursome and made of quality mince. Along with the chips, they’re fried in cottonseed oil, which from my internet research has points for and against, but certainly neither burger nor chips leave a gluggy, oily feeling in the stomach. The buns aren’t toasted, a feature I love at Dannys, but they’re wonderfully fresh with a smattering of sesame seeds. The experience is further augmented by their sauce – is it homemade tomato sauce? The combination provides a subtly herbed and flavoured hamburger experience that feels more like a meat sandwich than a fatty indulgence.

Great blog. I landed on this page and had a look at brunswick east tag. Enjoyed what I read and have bookmarked this.
ReplyDeleteHey Dean, good to have you on board! Hope you find some rewarding places to eat :)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you guys i love their homade burgers. They definately do use quality meat and not too much fat is in the mince. I also have to say that all of their food is of very good quality.They use actual chicken breast in the burgers and they use actual lamb fillet in their souvlakis. overall i eat their at least twice a week and would definately recommend this fish shop.
ReplyDeleteOoh, it's a while since we've been to Fishbone (Iliana on Nicholson St tends to get our business now), but your comment reminds me of their quality. Might have to top off a night at the Alderman with a visit once the nights are warmer :)
