An Irish restaurant has been served a great honour, with food experts naming their burger as one of the best in the entire world.
The Dublin chain, which now has locations in Belfast and Cork, was recently ranked as second out of fifty in travel site Big 7’s list of the best burgers in the world.
It narrowly missed the top spot, which ended up being awarded to Hamburger America in New York City.
Big 7 has said Irish burger chain Bunsen deserved its spot for its ‘simplicity and quality’ when compared to other choices.
It said: ‘This Dublin institution has always understood that a great burger does not need to be complicated.
‘The menu is famously stripped back – so much so that it is presented to diners on a business card – with a focus on freshly ground beef, especially made buns, pickles, cheese and a handful of carefully chosen toppings.
‘Enjoy your burger with fries – shoestring, sweet potato or hand-cut – and a thick shake for the perfect dining experience. It’s a testament to their simplicity and quality that they’ve also opened up stores in Cork and Belfast, too.’
Joining Bunsen lower on the list were famous joints like Black Bear Burger in London, Smash Things in Tokyo, Eat ROBs in Sydney and Uniburger in Montreal, all of which made it on the top ten.
Judges from Enjoy Travel have said that each burger joint ranked on the list was evaluated on the patty, build, signature creations, diner reviews, atmosphere, and value for money.
