We visited The Burger Lounge a few years dorsum equally purpose of our brief (and unpopular) invitee stint doing veggie burgers on grazing panda, The Burger Adventure. That ship service has disappeared from the internet, in addition to thus nosotros decided nosotros should larn dorsum out in that place in addition to produce it again. Added bonus: Cindy's aunt in addition to our nigh reliable cat-sitter lives inwards that direction, in addition to thus nosotros could view her rather than dragging her into the urban heart in addition to individual equally nosotros ordinarily do. Sadly, our photographic goggle box camera battery crapped out only equally nosotros sat down, in addition to thus you're stuck amongst low-quality telephone photos on this post.
The Burger Lounge is a surprisingly hyped-up identify inwards Eltham, riding the electrical current moving ridge of burger-obsession that has taken over Melbourne. It's pitched only a notch or ii higher than somewhere similar Grill'd, in addition to thus it's basically high-end fast food. The setting is casual, reasonably fashionable in addition to very, really busy - they've clearly institute a pop niche. There's a mix of communal in addition to smaller tables in addition to a bill of fare higher upwardly the counter where you lot produce your ordering. It's a huge menu, featuring v vego options addition salads, sides etc. All the burgers tin hold upwardly done gluten-free, in addition to I reckon at to the lowest degree ii of them would hold upwardly easily veganisable (just past times dropping/swapping aioli/yoghurt, etc). We separate iii of them betwixt the iii of us.
First up: the portobello (whole portobello mushroom, chargrilled capsicum, crispy zucchini, grilled haloumi, caramelised onion, rocket, semi-dry tomato, garlic & basil pesto in addition to relish, $11.50 + $1 for bonus onion rings).
They're big burgers, in addition to really hard to cutting into neat thirds, but Cindy did a pretty expert project of it. The mushroom patty was fantabulous - marinated inwards something that took it beyond the basic mushroom burger. It was heavy amongst accompaniments too, which were all delicious but meant that I presently had pesto, relish in addition to bits of capsicum all over my confront - there's no means to swallow this neatly.
Second upwardly was the pumpkin: homemade roasted pumpkin in addition to kumera patty amongst feta, walnuts in addition to basil pesto, coated amongst panko crumbs, amongst spinach, beetroot relish in addition to herb aioli ($11.50).
We added or in addition to thus fantabulous herbed chips ($3.50) on the side, which I enjoyed fifty-fifty to a greater extent than than the onion rings. The burger itself was enterprise equally good - the patty wasn't hugely flavourful, but it held together good in addition to provided a vessel for the pesto, relish in addition to aioli.
Finally, the tofu (Thai-style marinated tofu, amongst shredded carrot, lime chutney, pickled cucumber, mixed greens, tomato, reddish onion in addition to herb aioli, $10.50).
This was the nigh unwieldy of them all, in addition to was basically falling apart earlier nosotros fifty-fifty started on it. Still, it was fresh in addition to tasty, providing at to the lowest degree the illusion of health. The tofu had soaked upwardly a mild sweetness chilli flavour, in addition to the chutney in addition to aioli kept things interesting.
It's swell that The Burger Lounge render such a wealth of vegetarian options - the burgers are varied in addition to loaded upwardly amongst flavours. In fact, the ane kid criticism I'd brand is that they all come upwardly slathered inwards in addition to thus many condiments that you lot sometimes lose the distinct flavor of the burger itself. Lucky that the condiments are tasty I guess. The chips in addition to onion rings were crispy in addition to salty, the buns soft in addition to floury without beingness also sugary, in addition to the service efficient. I'm non certain we'll hold upwardly dorsum out Eltham means anytime also soon, but when nosotros are, it'll hold upwardly hard to non to hitting upwardly The Burger Lounge for a repeat visit.
