A chicken burger designed by Michelin-award winning chef Julien Royer - 160g of french poulet boneless leg marinated in yoghurt & spices, topped with a free range egg, house made garlic sauce and ‘Frenchie’ salsa.

I had high expectations of this burger from the get-go, and thankfully they were pretty much met. The chicken leg was grilled to perfection, emanating a smokey aroma, while retaining its tenderness. Each bite was succulent, and was a delight to eat with the garlic sauce. I loved that the garlic sauce didn’t overpower the chicken, but instead complemented it. The fried egg is also perfect for those who love yolky ooze, the yolk bursts open and slathers the patty and burger. Eating this is a messy business, so don’t order this on your first date. But if you’re settled in your relationship, throw all caution to the win and enjoy this bad boy.

The only thing I didn’t like about this burger was the burger bun. I felt it was too thin, with too much crust to bun - causing it to feel dry. I would’ve preferred this over a more luxuriant fluffy bread like brioche, but to each his own!

The great thing about BurgerLabo is how attentive the staff are - our waitress returned regularly to top up our water and even sweetly asked for honest feedback after our meal. She took the time to listen to what we liked or didn’t like, and explained the different components of the dishes. BurgerLabo wasn’t crowded at all on Thursday night, but who knows when business might pick up. For now though, it’s a fantastic place for a chill weekday dinner close to nature with a good burger or roll!
