Belfield on Botany is a new burger joint that has opened up in my area on Botany Road. It is not close to many other cafes or shops, so you have to make a special trip to Belfied on Botany to try out these burgers - but it is worth it!
As you walk into Belfield on Botany you will hear the sweet rhythm of R&B and hip hop music and it is a "hip" place but more of the Notorious BIG kind of way, not your Newtown hipsters way. The cafe is decorated with cool "graffiti art" and it is quite stylish.
You order directly at the counter so it is a more casual service, but the food is brought to your table. There is also outdoor seating available.
I came here with my fiance and sister and we ordered:
- Belfield Burger: Beef Patty, Egg, Cheese, Vegemite Mayo - $8
- Chicken Burger: Fried Chicken, Avocado, Streaky Bacon, Cheese and Homemade Mayo - $12
- Pork Burger: Peanut Butter Pork Patty, Kimchi, Green Apple, Homemade Mayo.
- Sweet Potato Fries - $5 (I think)
- Fried Mushrooms - $5 (I think)
The burgers look small from the picture of what I had seen on their Facebook page, but they were surprisingly filling,
My sister and I had half the Belfield Burger and Pork Burger and both were SUPER delicious. The Belfield Burger had a beautiful brioche bun which was just so soft and tasty, juicy beef patty and delicious vegemite mayo. The vegemite mayo isn't that pronounced and just brings a bit of salt to the meat.
But the winner was.. the Pork Burger! OMG - Don't be fooled by the "peanut butter pork patty", I know it sounds weird, and I would have never chosen this off the menu (my sister chose this), but it was DIVINE! The Pork had a delicious BBQ taste with a slight sweetness to it, but it was just so juicy and moist. It melted in your mouth and was very moreish.
The food we ordered was plenty and the burgers filled us up.
I loved the deep fried mushrooms, they are just so darn tasty! YUM!
Happy with the price of the food, and the service was cheerful and fast. Loved the atmosphere and awesome music. I would definitely come here again. read more
