Where Chefs Eat: 14 Top Chefs Pick Their Favourite Sydney Burger
Mimi Wong loves a happy hour hero, while Toby Wilson favors a Portuguese chicken option. There’s also a popular choice from Queenscliff, a beachside fish favorite, and several beautifully plated burgers in fine CBD restaurants.
Two hands wrapped around an ace burger is one of life’s great pleasures: juicy, carb-loaded, and saucy. Everyone has their own favorite, and Sydney’s best burger sparks lively debate.
Though the now-closed Burger Park's fish burger with pickled pineapple and chili is missed, Out of the Blue remains a reliable spot.
Top Chefs' Favourite Burgers in Sydney
- Jesse Orleans, Happyfield: "I’m a Mary’s burger kind of guy. Burgers rank high on my favorites, but due to lifestyle choices, I limit myself to one a week. Eight times out of ten, it’s a Mary’s burger."
- Isobel Whelan-Little, Ace Hotel Sydney: "I’m a sucker for Ogalo! Nothing beats a morning beach moment followed by a salty-dog double chicken Prego combo with a Sprite. It’s nostalgic and an easy beach option."
- Andy Cooks: "Might head out to Chebbo’s for that one."
"Everyone has their go-to, and Sydney’s best burger is a hotly debated topic." – Grace Mackenzie
