Here’s Why Bunman is the BEST Smashed Burger Joint in Beirut
The debate over Beirut’s best burger is never-ending. If you’re looking for the best smashed burger joint in the city, here’s why this Mar Mikhael gem takes the crown.
Premium Meat, No Compromise
Bunman’s secret is no secret: do it right or don’t do it at all. They use 100% Australian Angus beef that’s freshly prepared and grinded in-house every single day. The same care and focus on quality goes into everything else: the buns, the cheese, and the sauces, all carefully balanced so the flavors hit clean and confident.
The Technique That No One Else Does Right (No shade)
No thick patties pretending to be smashburgers here. Just proper technique, timing and high heat, creating that signature deep, caramelized edge while keeping the center incredibly juicy. They don’t overthink it, they just do it properly. It’s all about those lacy edges, and they are simply the best at it.
The Art of Keeping it Simple
Three (spot-on) burgers, fries, two milkshakes and a chocolate chip cookie. Keeping the menu short and focused means every item gets the attention it deserves. Nothing feels overdone, everything tastes intentional and, most importantly, it tastes the same every time you come back. No surprises; same hit, every visit.
Pro tip: Add the house-made hot honey. Trust us
Retro Energy, No Performative Cool
Bunman is minimalist, raw, and unpretentious. Everything happens in front of you — prep, smash, serve — with warm and friendly staff who make the wait feel like part of the experience. They bring an ease that matches the whole vibe, and you know your burger is going to hit long before it lands in your hands.
A Benchmark Concept in Beirut
Bunman elevates the smashburger from fast food to quality-driven comfort food. It stands out by keeping it simple, honest, and obsessively well executed; and that’s exactly why we keep coming back.
