There are few events on the annual calendar that get us more excited than International Burger Day, and this year, Sydney is pulling out all the stops.

On the 28th of May, be sure to get out and order yourself a big, juicy burg from one of these hotspots. You might even stumble upon the best burger in Sydney.

Lobster & Eggplant Sambal Balado Burger at ASLAN Coffee Roasters

In celebration of Burger Day, The Rocks favourite ASLAN Coffee Roasters are leaning into their Indonesian heritage to create something truly unique – a lobster and eggplant burger slathered in delicious sambal balado (a spicy Indonesian sauce made using chilli, garlic and tomato).

 

Angus Jalapeño Bagel Burger at Black & White Espresso

Black & White Espresso may be The Rocks’ newest residents, but its burger creation shows it’s here, and here to stay. Juicy angus beef, American cheese, bacon, pickles and house-made sauce, all nestled within a delightfully different jalapeño bagel – what’s not to love? Stop by and enjoy the burger with chips on the side and one of Black & White’s delicious coffees.
