A midsummer's night burger

Lounge Burger- patty, beetroot relish, tomato,
red onion, pickled cucumber, relish, aoili

Seems to me all I've eaten lately are burgers and fries! So of course this makes me a veritable food critic. If you're looking for an easy burger option, and you don't want to make them yourself, then you can't go past Burger Lounge in Kirra. It's a unique burger bar with tasty gourmet options that beat the standard fast food burger hands down.

Beef and bacon burger

If you LOVE FERG burger in Queenstown then this is as close as you're going to get..... in this country anyways!


Burger Lounge is a small local little nook with booths and stools to lay back in, right near Kirra beach. It's a quirky little spot- just check out the wall paintings- licensed with wines, cocktails and boutique beers. You can even BYO wine. They even have organic soft drinks! Feel free to sit and thumb through the paper or the magazines splattered around, or just people watch on this busy little corner. The gourmet burgers (and the range is huge) vary from tempting options of chicken, to pork, to lamb to veg, to beef, and luckily for those with small appetites you can get the mini- version as the others are quite large. Not sure how to wrap my mouth around them, but great for the guys. Be prepared to make a mess and have sauces and meat juice running down your hands. Wouldn't have it any other way! Particular favourites are Kirra the pig or Le Grand Fromage with all different cheeses such as blue vein.    You can't go past Crackle and Pop with clumps of coleslaw and caramelised apples, which comes with crackling on the side.  My husbands loves the Nirvana as it has everything on it - bacon, pineapple, egg, cheese, cucumber, relishes, roast garlic, spanish onion etc ....you get the drift!


And for those feeling healthy, there is the option to have it in a lettuce cup- San choy boi style.
A MUST is the onion rings with aioli- bypass the chips but do get these. They are so crunchy and the relish that goes with them is 'delish.'  Everything is hand made here so you know you're getting quality produce, all served with love and pride.

Prices are a little more than average but you get it all back on that plate.

Come hungry!
