Bowls & Burgers has a big selection of burgers, but if you’re keen to bite into a classic-tasting number with the perfect balance of flavours – juicy beef patty, oozy cheese, salty bacon, caramelised onion, tangy barbecue sauce – we highly recommend you order The American. It tastes just as indulgent as a burger should, though we love that it comes piled high with more fresh salad than your average American version.
They also offer a big chicken burger range: from Schnitzel Deluxe to Southern Fried, a Parmi burger and grilled chicken breast options.
Then there are the veggie versions: a cauliflower number, a haloumi one, and a vegan one with plant-based patty.
For those after something less carby, the bowls are ace, too. With 17 suggested bowl choices on the menu, and the ability to craft your own, the options are pretty much endless. They’ve got Mexican and burrito bowls, Japanese-style miso and also teriyaki bowls, falafel bowls, risotto bowls, Hungarian bowls with slow-cooked beef goulash – and even butter chicken bowls. They’re all big, hearty, colourful meals made from super-fresh, well-seasoned ingredients. A great balanced lunch in one dish. Our favourite is the tahini bowl with salmon.
The best thing about this place is that there's no "pack-shot disappointment". Unlike at your average burger joint, what you see on the menu is an accurate vision of what you'll actually get.
There are two Bowls & Burgers outlets in Sydney – there’s one on Bronte Rd, Waverley; but we frequent the one near the Time Out Sydney office, in Surry Hills near Central Station. Note: It seems to cater mostly to a workday crowd, since it's closed at night and on the weekends.
