So I finally make it to Patty and Bun. After high praise from several friends, and one failed attempt at the James Street branch, I manage to organise an early evening dinner with my flatmates at the Liverpool Street branch (Although one of them failed to make it on time, due to his inability to read messages or listen to any conversation).

Following the recent trend of small, darkened restaurants with a no reservations policy, Patty and Bun was a clear reputational front runner in burger stakes (see what I did there!). With only enough seating for a dozen or so patrons and basic menu of 3 or 4 choices of burger, there was definitely a focus on good fast food and high turnover of customers.

So basically there’s not much to say about the decor, service or seating and to be honest that’s the point. It was all about the food and the flavour sensation that was to come.

I ordered a ‘ARI Gold’ Cheeseburger with a side of Rosemary salt chips and added Roast Chicken Mayo & Chicken Skin Salt. I wasn’t disappointed. The food arrived within 2 minutes and on trying the chips and mayo, I was greeted with a crisp chickeny chip party in my mouth. Wonderful! The burger was nice too! Not too much so that it breaks apart in your hands but ample enough meat and fillings to provide a well balanced texture and flavour.

And that’s it! Quick as a flash, in one minute, eating the second and out by the third. I agree with many opinions that Patty and Bun is one of the top burger places to eat. Just make sure you either get there early to grab a table, otherwise you’ll be waiting nearly an hour (especially if you visit the James Street branch).

Note: I’ve tried another place since this visit, which has taken my top spot for best burger in town… Review coming soon.
