Grain fed Beef Burgers at Woolwich


As you are watching the sun go down over Sydney Harbour, you need to devour a grass fed beef burger from the Woolwich Pier Hotel.

The first thing to notice is that the cheese is melted on the beef.  A sign of a good burger.

The second thing to notice about this burger is the bun.  It’s glossy, its soft.  But there is a soft crunch upon the first bite.

The third thing you notice is the dripping juiciness of the bun.  Onion jam and juicy meat combine to make this a culinary delight.

Perhaps a little pricey at $20, but worth every bite.

The flavour?  What hits you is the quality of the meat, cheese, onion jam and subtle mustard.  The pickle is present, but not overwhelming.  The sauce is not overpowering.  The meat itself has a chargrilled taste, which added to the character of this burger.  Perhaps a little too chargrilled in places.  I would suggest a little more pickle, to tone down the overall meat experience.
