Sydney Food Diary: Bare Grill, Surry Hills

I’d gotten wind of the buzz on this place, but still wasn’t sure what to expect. Yes, stamping your name on a bun is a pretty good effect for Instagram, but what would the food be like? Well, it was very, very good.

First off, let’s start with the sweet potato fries. My friend ordered these and I had to admit to him that normally I don’t like these much. They’re often not crisp enough and too starchy. I prefer regular potatoes. But not these ones: really, really crisp, and really, really tasty.

My pal, a vegetarian had a burger with a portobello mushroom and it wasn’t very photogenic, but he said it was good.

I opted for an extra cheesy burger and my god, it had macaroni and cheese IN the burger, along with more cheese, and some molten cheese. I also found that the beef patties were particularly tasty. All together, I thought this was really an awesome burger. The only thing is that it was almost too much. I was so full. My stomach (unfortunately) doesn’t look like it is shrinking in its old age… Oh well. Still, I’d issue a warning: go with a healthy appetite!
