8 Unique Burgers From Around Beirut That Taste Better Than Skinny Feels

There’s nothing that a good burger can’t cure. A broken heart, a deathly hangover, a hangry (hungry + angry = hangry) nervous breakdown, all can be cured with a perfectly grilled patty smothered in cheese and your favorite toppings. For an added splash of scrumptiousness, some burgers around the city come with unique toppings that make them even more satisfying. Here are the most uniquely delicious burgers that this city has to offer, that are more than just the regular beef patty, cheese, and ketchup.





The Guacamole Burger at Frosty Palace



Only available until next week, the guac burger at Beirut’s favorite diner comes with a double decker of beef patties smothered in Swiss cheese and flavorful guacamole, drizzled with a spicy mayonnaise dressing and topped with crispy bacon. Yaaaaaaasssssssssssssss.


The WTF Burger at Meats and Bread



It’s named WTF for a reason, because the second you take your first bite you’ll automatically think, “WTF,” It’s that good. Complete with a perfectly crispy sesame brioche bun, black Angus beef, red eye horseradish mayo, fried shallots, truffled Manchego cheese and their scrumptious secret sauce, this burger is one of our favorites in Beirut.


The Ferdinand Burger at Ferdinand’s

This burger is famous around the city, and for good reason. Topped with Tarragon mayonnaise, sweet potatoe chips and blueberry jam, (don’t knock it ’til you try it) sharp cheddar cheese and perfectly crispy bacon, this juicy patty will blow your mind.


The Diner Mite Burger at Roadster Diner



This one’s special because it’s a classic cheeseburger, but instead of the cheese, there’s a massive mozzarella stick on top of the patty.


The Philly at Le Gourmet Burger



Grilled to perfection and covered in sauteed mushrooms, coleslaw, and cream cheese – this burger is seriously special.

Everyone knows that Chili’s does burgers right. And this one is special because it’s topped with applewood smoked bacon, the crispiest onion rings, and the smokiest barbecue sauce – in true American fashion.


The Brisket Burger at Butcher’s BBQ Joint



The picture should tell you enough. Smoked brisket, coleslaw, and secret sauce come together to make this masterpiece a thing.


The Pizza Burger at Chez Chakour



We just added this one because it’s so extra. As extra as it gets, actually. Not in Beirut but worth the drive, this is a burger wrapped in a pizza bun. Not like, pizza-flavored bun. No, literally this burger is wrapped in pizza. That’s all.
