Urban Discoveries presents: Burger Bros.

This article is part of the “Urban Discoveries” series, in which we seek and discover exciting and well-designed places to eat and drink around Europe, especially in Vienna. Again, I worked together with my colleague and dear friend Maximilian Martsch, who is a researcher and works on the topic of food history. The pictures were shot by myself. Thanks to the folks at Burger Bros. for the invitation and the excellent talk.

The Bermuda Triangle in Vienna is well known for many things, including bars and drunken teens, but certainly, it was never known for good food. Is this about to change? We visited the new Burger Bros. restaurant to investigate. The franchise subsidiary opened its doors just a couple of months ago, and it’s the latest addition to the Burger Bros family. The small Vienna-based franchise already has two other locations in the city, one at Hauptbahnhof and another in the Wien Mitte shopping mall. All three restaurants have a similar design to establish a corporate identity that is easily recognizable to the customer.
Nonetheless, the interior of Burger Bros Bermuda doesn’t feel generic or uncomfortable. A couple of excellent design elements create a distinct, relaxed atmosphere, like the hand-painted walls, the colorful bar chairs, and the ceiling lamps. Also, use the washrooms to avoid missing out on the hilarious Chuck Norris quotes on the doors.

But certainly, the design is not, or at least not, the only reason to visit Burger Bros Bermuda – it’s their food. During the last few years, several premium Burger restaurants have sprung up around Vienna, saying goodbye to the burger as the classic incarnation of the fast food generation closely linked to global chains like Mcdonald’s, Burger King, and others. Following this trend, Burger Bros emphasizes quality and innovation rather than price.

All their burgers were created by trained (starred) chefs, using only fresh and regional ingredients. The quality of beef is critical to a great burger; at Burger Bros, they use Black Angus or Simmentaler beef for their burger variations. And let me tell you, you can really taste the difference! The beef patty is thick, juicy, and simply delicious. It’s the heart of the burger and, therefore, calls for quality. The second most important part of the burger is arguably the bun. The soft brioche buns are not made in-house but are delivered to all three Burger Bros locations in the morning. The bun has a smooth, quiet, lightly toasted texture, perfectly accompanying the beef patty. Besides their delicious burgers, they offer tasty ribs, steaks, hot dogs, and various salads and sides. If you are up for a special treat, order their Rossini burger with foie gras or go for the burger of the month.

What goes better with a burger than a nice cold one? Aside from the obligatory draft beers, Burger Bros Bermuda offers an excellent selection of national and international craft beers. If you are more into wine, they also have a great choice to ensure you find the right pairing for your food. Overall, they have a nice range of alcoholic drinks. Cocktails and shots are also on the menu for a very reasonable price. Make sure to check out their changing deals on food and beverages. For instance, on Wednesday, they have 30% off craft beers. If you are not just looking for a quick, cheap bite but a high-quality, tasty Burger and a nice drink in a relaxed atmosphere, Burger Bros Bermuda is an accurate tip. You can even enjoy their food and drinks outside in their pub garden from May.
