Reviews L'burger

This is a "better late than never" review from our visit in 2019. We ordered a L'Beef, The Luxemburger, Tasting Plate and finished it off with a Mixed Berry Belgian Waffle. That L'Beef was amongst the best burgers I've ever tasted - so good! Both the burgers were cooked to perfection. There was a young crowd of students from the nearby university enjoying the burgers, talking and laughing which gave the place a good vibe. The staff were really sweet people, the service was friendly and quick, and the restaurant atmosphere itself was quite nice.

Wide range of burgers 😍 highly recommend the prawn noir. Wagyu beef was also very delicious and staff was super nice!!

We have always loved their burgers and sweet potato fries, but today decided to give their fried chicken meal a try. We were pleasantly surprised at how crispy and JUICY they were! Best fried chicken we've had for awhile, better than Gami (sooo dry) down the road. Did I mention juicy? SO JUICY!

I enquired over Instagram about their restaurant and got a reply straight away! Its great to see they advertise they are halal certified on their Instagram and have a section of halal food items on their menu. I tried the chicken burger and shared the Wagyu beef burger which were both soooo good!!! They definitely look as DELICIOUS as it tastes.

Since it was hot, we also had the shake and waffles (my favvvv) and definitely left the place feeling very full and satisfied! Customer service is 110% and always very accommodating. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area for an amazing feed.

This place has the best sweet potato fries I’ve had yet, perfectly sweet and crunchy, with a hint of salt. The burger patties were well seasoned and the milk bun was buttery and soft. The sauces weren’t over or under done, like it often is at other places. Super affordable for its quality, would definitely recommend!

A spacious diner style burger joint with old school music.

Riviera - one of the best burgers I've tried. The toasted black pan de mie milk bun stays crisp through the time it took to eat. Adding to that, the paprika inspired pattie was quite crisp with the most flavorful filling of corn and avo salsa, grilled mushrooms, house made jalapeno salsa and crisp mixed beans.

Luxemburger - Toasted black Pain de mie milk bun, porcini mushroom, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, house-made L'pickle salsa, house-made tomato onion jam, smoky hickory bbq sauce, grilled Angus Wagyu beef, double smoked free range bacon with melted Gruyere cheese mix. The burger is perfect for those wanting a meaty burger.

We were giving the opportunity to try the tasting platter. The Australian sweet potato were ever so crisp and sweet. The onion rings were impressive. Whilst crisp, it was also chewy. The three dipping sauces provided all complimented.

Loved this place and thankyou for the invite.

French train themed decor and ambience with elongated booths. Ordered two burgers (Riviera and Hot Angus) with loaded fries. Enjoyed the ride!

We arrived around Hawthorn area and found parking very close to the spot as there a shopping centre close by.
The place is located in the main road, on Glenferrie Road Hawthorn, just right next to Glenferrie Station and in between other very popular eating venues but it is clearly spotted due to its clean and bright blue and white colours. It features some big biiiiiiig L BURGER logo so you really cannot miss it 😂

The entrance is not very wide but leads to a long dining area and multiple seat in both sides. The lights give a yellow and welcoming ambience to the whole set up and it is impossible not to think of your typical American diner place.

The staff was welcoming and asked us where we wanted to seat as even though it was Saturday lunch time, it wasn’t surprisingly very busy. I asked what they recommend the most and what were their best and most favourite burgers and here’s what we had:

- L'Vego - is it their elite vegan burger with a toasted vegan bun and dressed with a layer of chipotle mayonnaise that was AMAZING AMAZING 🙌 - and not slightly spicy and I was expecting it to be! - as well as garlic aioli mayonnaise - again the BEST thing ever 👌Even though I am not a huge fan of dips and sauces I was so impressed here and I have to say that the sauces play such an important role in achieving that mouthwatering and juicy taste. And these two, vegan friendly, were just superb! 👌 The bun is incredibly achieved too, slightly crispy and at the same time soft and not too dense. The sole taste of the vegan bun in incredible and again exceeded my expectations - I’ve been seriously surprised of how incredible vegan burgers have become lately and how venues are making progress! 👏 it also came with some crisp fresh lettuce, tomato, and grilled sliced red capsicum and house-made L’pickle salsa. About the patty, well, even though it wasn’t the best vegan patty I have tried, it was still very well achieved, flavorful and very pleasant patty. Not greasy and not too dense, with a crispy outside and soft inside, this potato, corn and broccoli vegetarian patty will be loved by many without a doubt and I do recommend it it you visit this place!

- L'Beef - I also had their highlighted and most popular beef burger, replacing the milk bun with a vegan bun and removing the cheese. With mustard dill pickle mayonnaise (decadent and delicious! - seriously, like I said I am not even a 'dips' person and every single dressing from this place was just terrific!), some crisp fresh lettuce, tomato, house-made L’Pickle salsa, house-made tomato onion jam, atisan tomato sauce and a double grilled free-range Angus/Wagyu beef patty (yes, I asked to double it up because I wanted to thoroughly see and try the meat here) I can see why it is a popular one! The beef was pink on the inside, medium cooked, and tender. A little too dense/thick, but still very good tasty meat and overall a good burger.

- Prawn Noir - it is quite to find a prawn burger so I decided to also give this a go! Yes, 2 burgers weren't enough for me 😂 . It came with a toasted black pain de mie milk bun, and of course it won me over right from the start because of its aesthetic looks (the black bun and crispy prawn look. In two words, this burger gave me actually.... mixed feelings! I loved the looks and size along with the bun and the 3 generous panko crumbed fried prawn cutlets - WOW SO GOOD! 🙌 (when I have sushi one my favourite pieces are without a doubt the tempura ones just because of that crunchiness 😂). Here the crumble is so pleasant and again no oil or greasiness! I wasn't a huge fan of the house-made L’slaw and I think it steals a bit of the protagonism from the prawns. It was so intense with the onion inside and cold, contrasting with the warm and crunchy prawns, that I even decided to remove some of it to thoroughly enjoy the prawns. However again, I will highlight how the sauces, lemon caper and chipotle mayonnaise, were again incredible! The lettuce is also still crispy and fresh as well as the tomato, like any of their other burgers and I think that either changing the slaw of removing it completely would work better, but obviously that is just my personal opinion. I think that having some nori here would be a different option and give more additional crunchiness, so this is my friendly suggestion 🤗

- Hot Angus - my friend had this bruger and it came with the instagramable tosted black pain de mIe milk bun, chipotle and garlic aioli mayonnaise, crisp fresh lettuce, tomato, gouse-made Jalapeno salsa, house-made tomato onion jam, a grilled Angus/Wagyu beef patty and topped with melted Gruyere cheese mix and a generous serving of fiery Sriracha sauce. He really liked it and said that the beef was nicely cooked and the bun was again soft and very enjoyable. Not the best burger he had, but still a cute little burger filled with different contrasting tastes!

- Tasting Plate - we also tried a combination of crunchy potato fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings some salad and 2 sauces (Garlic Aioli Mayonnaise and Chipotle Mayonnaise). Again (yes again 😂) I have to highlight the sauces here and they are something you just have to ask for, FOR REAL, if you visit this place. The normal fries weren’t that good to be honest, not very crispy, neither were the onion rings - despite not being oily, they came soft and mushy and without that supposed to be crispiness, lacking flavour. None of us was a fan and at the end I even mentioned that to the cook and suggested bigger and more crispy rings as friendly suggestion. On the other hand the sweet potato fries were just perfect, not overly salty and just crunchy and decadent... that I ate them all and didn't share many 😂 

- Drinks - I actually didn’t have any drink because they had no options besides water and their Specialty Soft Drinks. Their coffee and hot drink machine was broken so I stick with just plain water. My friend had a Ginger Beer and said it was an enjoyable choice and refreshing.

One of the things I love more about visiting places is the fact that they cater for all dietary requirements and have several options that you can choose (and not just one single one - which is good and should be appreciated but still could make you feel a bit limited). And L burger options satisfy not only the meat lovers, with guaranteed quality but they also Halal accredited and we have a some vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. 

However I found that they had many vegetarian options and patties but vegan ones only two. Like I said, it is admirable and thoughtful of them to still have those two but I think that from a costumer strategy perspective, just by removing the cheese from the vegetarian patties them could have much more options from vegans and lactose intolerance people!
Another less positive point goes to their drinks and dessert choices. All of them all milk based and I think they could definitely have at least one option suitable for vegans or a more allergen friendly option. I really wanted to have had a milkshake a smoothie (or any drink at all!) along with the burger and I think many people would agree that it would be a great pleasant combo indeed. Their waffles looks very tempting too but again they are not allergen friendly and I think that with so many other venues having great tasty desserts for vegans, if they don’t change that, they might lose some costumers. Which is a real pity and I will certainly be waiting for some legendary vegan milkshakes and desserts for my next visit!

A very cosy venue, good to hang around and overall this was quite an enjoyable experience!

3.5/5

Dinner with zomato gold. Came in on a fairly quiet night, no wait and plenty of tables to choose from.
Service was prompt and friendly, no problems there.

They had 4 vego options which really helped me (usually there arent too many decent vego burgers out there) I had the ‘Riviera’ and chips

Riviera was a really decent burger, had good flavour and kept me interested. I was satisfied with it and it filled me up (with the help of the chips). Definitely one of the better vego burgers (from a fast food shop)🤘🏽🤘🏽

This is one of my favourite place for burgers. I have literally never eaten such deliecious burgers before. They had a chicken burger in their special menu. It made my day. Everything was really fresh and ambience was perfect as well.

Friendly prices, great burgers and fries!!

Partner reckons it’s “l’best” on Glenferrie Rd. Gluten free options available. The patties were juicy, the sauce was excellent. Chips were crispy and hot. Not soggy. Comfortable clean simple relaxed setting. Decent value.

The best burger place in Hawthorn for vegetarians. They have few options on their menu and you get to choose. I have been here several times. Their L'Vego is the classic and the Riviera is a nice healthy option. They have Vegan options too.

I haven't had a burger for awhile so when I walked past this burger joint, the cravings kicked in at full strength.

I tried the L'beef burger along with their crunchy fries. They say good things come in small packages and at L'Burger, this certainly rings true! I was surprised by how small the burger was but it was certainly delicious. The lettuce was crisp while the beef was juicy and cooked perfectly medium rare. The bun was warm and crispy. Despite the size of the burger, it was actually a very filling meal.

The service was very friendly as well. So for all your burger cravings, L'Burger is a great place to visit!

I am generally not a burger fan, if I could I would avoid having burgers. But this place amazed me. The bun was so soft, and patty was cooked beautifully, tender and juicy and full of flavour. Loved the fat cut chips, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The decor was simple, clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

L’Burger is located right close to Glenferrie train station, just look for the Blue sign and an impressively fitted out venue. The subway tiles and signs give the restaurant an established feel even though its relatively young. I liked the soundtrack too which made eating in a good option.

I was hungry as a horse tonight so ordered the double cheeseburger which ain’t nothing scrawny but full sized Angus beef patties with a blended cheese mix, pickles and plenty of sauce. I also ordered a combo onion rings which was a good blend of onions and sweet potato fries. This was something I remembered fondly from my last visit and were delightfully crispy which is often a failing of the sweet potato fries. The burger was a solid build and a messy eat so grab a couple of napkins and a big appetite.

Previous Review
The menu talks up the quality of ingredients and this is how L’Burger is distinguishing itself apart from the many other burger establishments opening up around Melbourne. Fresh not frozen meats and a strong understanding of where items on the menu are sourced. Another area of distinction is the inclusion of a halal menu and seperate halal cooking surfaces and vats so that more can enjoy.

Today I ordered the L’Beef Burger with an extra patty. This was the “base” burger but still came with tomato, lettuce, onion jam, mustard dill pickle mayo and house made salsa. It came out huge and those patties were larger than at other places I’ve eaten at recently, I probably could have not added the extra patty and still been content.

I often can’t decide between sides, so I was a prime candidate for the tasting plate of sides which came with a little bit of everything including beer battered fried, sweet potato fries, onion rings and the house made coleslaw. The standout items on this were this platter were the sweet potato fries because of how crispy they were. My major disappointment with SPF elsewhere is the sog factor. I loved the selection on offer on this platter.

I washed all this good stuff down with a strawberry cheesecake milkshake (malt). This was tasty but heavy and was the prime reason I had to pass up the opportunity to try the new to the menu waffles (although these did look incredible).

Also good to see L’Burger have an alcoholic drinks menu for when you feel like a beer or wine with your burger.

Thank you so much for inviting me in to try your great burgers.

A great spot for halal burgers!
There is a variety of flavours and you can easily make changes / create a custom burger :) They also have amazing dipping sauces with their sides, very unique and tasty flavours!!

I really loved the waffles and shakes here as well!! So delicious

They also do non-halal options, but you can clearly see through their kitchen window that they have a seperate Halal stove they cook on! A great way to reassure customers that there is no cross contamination

Definitely worth the trip if you’re in the area!

I recently found this place and honestly I have nothing but good things to say about it. Really nice place to just grab a burger - probably one of the better burgers I've had in Melbourne. Also their malts shakes are fantastic.

Friendly, fast service. Really big and clean dining space. I appreciated the sink mid-sink as well as a unisex bathroom, burgers can get so messy so that’s really handy.

We all ordered the L’Beef burger with jalapeño loaded fries. The milk bun was toasted to perfection and the beef patty was JUICY!!!

Generous serving of the jalapeño fries, we had to add extra salt and pepper as it wasn’t very flavoursome on the second layer. But would highly recommend you try it.

Would come back!

Delicious!!!! Tasted like homemade and with love. Very fresh and quality ingredients as very flavoursome. It the spot perfectly!!! Had the cheeseburger and added an egg. My sister had the southern fried chicken and that will be next!

Has to be the best of the burger joints on glenferrie and burk.

From outside it doesn’t look very inviting ( dark interior & easy listening music) but don’t let that hold you back. Will be back definitely.

Came here with my husband to have a quick dinner before heading out to the city. The short ribs burger was hands down the best burger we both have ever had! We have tried many burgers in the past but this was by miles our number 1. We also tried the chorizo burger- 7/10. Sweet potato fries 8/10. Service was great, staff are super friendly. Recommending this place to all my friends

I was working in the hawthorn area and was having a stroll up Glenferrie road when I came across this very inviting and clean cut restaurant and couldn’t resist !

I was in a rush at the time and had to get takeaway and eat it back on site, which didn’t matter as the burger was in its own league, outstanding from the usual American influenced burgers I usually eat, much like the restaurant the burgers were neat and constructed with class, so I had to go back for the proper experience and try out a few of there delicious menu items.

To start off the feast we were presented with the sharing plate which consisted of regular crispy potato chips along with sweet potato fries and also onion rings all in the one basket which was a nice variety instead of just having the one flavoured side, my first visit I got the hot Angus burger which was so fresh and spicy and had a juicy slightly pink centred Angus patty! So on my return i couldn’t look past this same burger even though I did try I am a sucker for a spicy beef burger, but I decided to customise it by adding a fried chicken patty to mix it up ever so slightly, the chicken was great and seemed a lot cleaner then your standard southern fried patty and I didn’t feel one bit sick after completing this stack, very happy with my choice and would highly recommend the combo ! I also had the strawberry marshmallow malt which was a great consistency and complemented the meal perfectly not being too heavy and was easy to put down even after such a feast!

Thank you to the LBurger team for such an experience 👌

After a movie at Lidos, we were looking for a place to grab some burgers. Checked zomato for places nearby and came to know about this place right across the street.

First impressions : quite relaxed ambience, well lit, decently sized with quite some room for a decent crowd.

Coming to the menu - they have quite a variety on offer in each section be it chicken, beef, vegetarian or even vegan.

I tried Hotre Dame burger with some fries and a coke on side. Wanted to have something spicy so got this one as it has sriracha 😍
To my surprise, the burger had a black bun! It looked gorgeous! Tasted great as well. Got a lil messy but I don't mind if it tastes good.

My friend had the L'beef and he was quite satisfied as well.
Looked scrumptious TBH!

Overall, liked the place and the food as well. Only criticism, if I'm asked, will be the size of the burgers. The burgers could be a lil burger for the price. Nothing else. But would definitely recommend this place.

Foood - 4/5
Value - 3.75/5
Ambience - 3.75/5
Service - 4/5

I was lucky enough to try L’Burger on the weekend and we were very impressed. My pet peeve is when you’re promised a good burger and there’s little grizzly bits in the meat - not at L’Burger! The patties were absolute perfection, and you can tell a lot of love goes into it. They are combo of wagyu beef and Angus beef and are super juicy. I had the Luxemburger which had super crispy bacon and this deliciously Smokey hickory bbq sauce. A definite winner!
My friend got the L’beef, which is their simple beef burger and she was raving about it. One of the best burgers she’d had in a long time.
We also tried the tasting plate which came with a trio of sweet potato fries, normal chips and onion rings. Perfect if you’re indecisive. The garlic mayo, the bbq and the mustard dill pickle dipping sauces were Delish!
I highly recommend checking these guys out.
Thanks for having us!

This place took me by surprise! Really enjoyed their beef burger and their waffles were amazing. Located on Glenferrie road, it was super easy to find. Staff were super friendly also.
Thanks!

Lovely small burger stop along Glenferrie road. The price range is a bit higher than other burger places, but you get what you pay. We had Prawn Noir and the Luxemburger, highly recommend the latter (so good!!!), Prawn Noir was just a tad oily for me due to the crumbed prawn patty. Visited on Sunday lunch and the restaurant was empty lol. Bright interior. Will be back!

The most outstanding part of this burger place is the quality of the burgers served. Especially the beef burgers. They were fresh, thick & juicy..
Calm & sound atmosphere too. Worth the visit. :)

The weather on that day we came was very cold, the shop was full with patrons having their dinner here. The luxemburger was so yummy!!! . Staffs were busy doing their duties. Have to wait for a while until we got a place to sit. Foods were nice to eat.

I had the chicken burger and sweet potato fries - absolutely delicious!!  Excellent staff and service - lovely venue - definitely a keeper - prices are very reasonable as well - highly recommended!

Went to L'Burger on Friday because of all the good reviews. They were crazy busy but it was definitely worth the wait. Food was really tasty. On our table we tried the L'Cevap & the Riviera. These are really different burgers. L'Cevap is spicy but nice. The Riviera taste like summer with the corn salsa. Thought we might have a waffle to finish with but we were too full. Definitely be back to try the waffles another day.

Stopped by Hawthorn~got so many choices for food here~this one is close to Glenferri station and has very clean and spacious environment~since the rate is pretty high~and menu looks good~so we decided to give it a try~we ordered a traditional milk bun southern fried chicken burger and black milk bun prawn burger with beer battered chips~and beer of course~the prawn burger was faint on its way to our table~I didn’t see what happens~just saw he fell apart~lying on the ground~with some chips around him~anyway~the burgers finally made their way~they are delicious but not too special~the burger sauce is bit liquid~probably because the veg is marinated before~since the veg is cold and fried stuff is hot~so it is so obvious to taste cold and hot apart~the chips is well fried~if it can have a little bit herb salt on it will be better~anything tastes better with the cold beer~so all good~~~

I am not a burger person because of the frozen patties & pre cooked stuff and then ran into this Burger place which made me realize the real taste of burger with their fresh cook approach for anything that goes into the Burger. Loved the taste.

Also I tried their Tasting Plate which is combo Onion Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, and Potato Fries with their house made secret recipe sauces. I never knew the onion rings and Sweet Potato fires could taste this better..

The ambience of the store is really alive and lovely.

I would love to come back again and again.

#L’burger #Burgers

Good chips, great burgers and service. Decor is quite simple and not much atmosphere but I’ve a feeling it’s only recently opened. We’ll be back soon, need to try out those waffles!

I visited L’Burger for the first time & was really impressed with the interior & size. Located on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, L’Burgers has a small & unassuming shop front but really opens up inside. With booths down one side, its spacious & stylish interior is designed to replicate a French train station with some great signage.

We started with the tasting plate which included fries, onion rings & sweet potato fries as well as coleslaw & dipping sauces. This was a brilliant concept as we were able to try a bit of each. The fries & sweet potato fries were crispy & delicious & I loved the onion rings as they just had a light coating of batter. The coleslaw was a nice fresh accompaniment too.

They have a great variety of burgers with the focus on fresh ingredients. We tried the Prawn Noir burger which came on a black milk bun. It was a really light burger & the lemon & caper mayo worked perfectly with the panko crumbed prawns. I also tried the Garden my French burger which was packed with grilled mushroom, eggplant, zucchini & a beetroot & goats cheese patty. It was delicious & a really filling & impressive veggie burger.

We washed it all down with malted milkshakes, Strawberry Cheesecake & Chocolate Kit Kat flavours but L’Burger also have a wide range of beer & wine on offer.

We were too full to try the waffles but they looked amazing so will have to go back & try them.

L’Burger offer a classy burger experience with fantastic service & fresh products, I recommend checking them out. Thanks so much for having us.

Must be a French thing ...

Possibly the best burger I've had in Melbourne so far, and I think I've had a few ... the right size, no dripping mad with sauce, soft buns, but it doesn't break, great ingredients and well cooked patty, at $14.00, it was fantastic ... Hot Angus and L'Beef ... 9/10

One of the nicest burger "parlour" set up ... classy ... non-greasy nor over the top, the only issue was service, they seem to be uninterested in serving patrons.

The only bad things are their fries, Tasting Platter was filled with some "burnt" Onion Rings and fries ... surely that's not a French thing to do ... JT-07/08/2018.

I need that half rating back Zomato

Located on the busy Glenferrie Rd, L’Burger is a nicely decorated establishment. Friendly service when we visited the Thursday evening and really sympathised with the staff who felt the pressure of accommodating the demand of busy night. The sharing plate which consisted of potato and sweet potato with onion rings was a great way to start proceedings. The Chilli Angus was made exactly how the it was described on the menu with a variety of sauces which drip off from the first bite. Waffles was executed and and the Kit Kat malt was delicious. Keep up the great work team!

A new addition to Glenferrie Road, L’Burger aims to bring something a little different to the burger scene by using local, premium ingredients, delivered fresh, not frozen. Their top seller is the basic L’Beef burger, but coming close is The Luxemburger.

Location, location and location that’s one of the most important factors for running the business, it is perfect close to any sorts of public transport (Glenferrie train station, in front of tram line) and plenty of car park spaces. We’re so delighted to be invited to this Burger shop L’Burger in Hawthorn.

Absolutely top tier service, food quality and pricing. I’ve come here a decent amount of times now, enough to possibly be a regular and I love it, the food is done well, super tasty with the occasional weekly amazing deals. I’ve tried the American BBQ event (amazing price deal for enough food to fill 2 people) and the Charlie Parma Friday (got a drink on the house for me and a friend!!) and both times were absolutely delicious!! The staff are always super busy but they really do put in the effort and definitely take good care of their customers. I came in again tonight for some takeaway and without me noticing, I was given a box of chips for free! Absolutely adored the surprise! Love the staff, food and price, definitely recommend L’Burger and will be a long time customer!💕

Morish, juicy, tender and flavourful popcorn chicken. A good hint of spice, doesnt detract from the delicate flavour. The smaller of the two portion sizes is plenty large. The hotdogs are down right dirty but delicious, good flavour combination, the milky bun is a bit like a lightly toasted sponge cake. Classic burger is sick, fillings balance the meat nicely. Come with appetite. Way too much food. Banger tracks.

Absolutely the best chicken popcorn and fried chicken and waffles in Melbourne. Great quality and low prices. The service was friendly, fast and attentive. Highly, highly recommend. Hidden jewel in Hawthorne
