Burger Project

The Burger Project is Neil Perry's take on the fast food scene.  Potentially stemming from his famous "Rockpool Burger" (still one of the best burgers I've had in Melbourne), unsurprisingly from the name, Burger Project specialises in serving up a range of beef, chicken and veggie burgers.

Using whole muscle cuts of Tasmanian Cape Grim grass fed beef in their burgers, it only takes one bite to notice the difference in the taste of Burger Project's burgers from many other burger joints.  Using fresh and top quality ingredients, the Double Burger comprised of two patties of beef, cheese, onion pickles, tomato, lettuce and secret sauce, is actually one of the better burgers in town going around.

The chips and chicken bites, however, were smothered with lashings of salt - so unless you want to wish for a saline drip all afternoon, perhaps ask them not to go so heavy on the salt.

Whilst there a few Burger Project venues scattered across the Melbourne, on this occasion we visited the Bourke Street venue, which unfortunately could be described as cold and sterile (but like literally cold, like take your jacket  type of cold).  But at least there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for the CBD lunch rush hour.
