스토리

이 장소에 대해

Merlion Cafe • Gourmet Burger는 Nguyễn Bá Huân 거리의 작은 가게에 자리를 잡고 있어, 그냥 지나치기 쉽다. 이곳이 주목받는 이유는 거의 모든 것을 직접 만든다는 고집에 있다. Brioche bun은 매장에서 직접 굽고, spicy mayo는 매일 신선하게 만들며, 패티는 220그램 triple cheeseburger(130,000동)를 선택할 이유가 될 만큼 두툼하다. Double cheeseburger는 99,000동, chicken burger는 79,000동으로, 비슷한 품질의 imported beef burger 바에서 세 배를 받으면서 덜 흥미로운 음식을 내놓는 곳들에 지쳐버린 외국인들의 단골 가게가 된 가격대다.

Spicy mayo는 이미 자체적인 팬덤을 형성했다. 매장에서 먹는 단골들은 fries에 아낌없이 끼얹고, 배달 주문 시에는 extra를 따로 요청하는 것이 암묵적인 규칙처럼 자리 잡았다. Hawaiian juicy burger와 bacon-egg burger는 메뉴의 경쾌한 축에 속하고, bacon cheeseburger with fried egg는 첫 방문에 가장 무난한 시작점이다. Cheese fries가 의도적으로 간결하게 구성된 메뉴를 마무리한다.

매장 내 식사 환경은 쾌적하기보다는 실용적이다. 좌석이 협소하고 조리 냄새가 옷에 배는 편이라, 단골 대부분은 배달을 이용한다. 버거는 배달에도 잘 견뎌내어, 도착 후에도 만족스러운 상태를 유지한다. 두 마리의 개가 공간을 돌아다니는데, 이 디테일이 여러 리뷰에서 재방문 이유로 자연스럽게 언급될 만큼 인상을 남긴다. 오너가 주방과 카운터를 직접 맡아 운영하며, 탄탄하고 일관된 가게를 유지하고 있다.

Thao Dien의 burger 선택지를 두루 경험한 이들에게 이 가게는 분명한 자리를 차지한다. 가격도 분위기도 진정한 로컬이면서, 직접 구운 brioche bun과 균형 잡힌 하우스 소스처럼 다른 곳에서는 상당한 프리미엄을 지불해야만 만날 수 있는 퀄리티를 갖추고 있다.

We ordered take away so the rating may be different if you eat at the store. The burgers are definitely big for the price, 130k for a triple cheeseburger with 220grams of beef is a pretty good price but unfortunately I have to say that the meat was quite tasteless. Same can be said for the chicken burger, only 80k, a very good price but it wasn’t really tasty. The potato wedges were quite nice, they got soggy during delivery but that’s not the shop’s fault obviously. Overall it’s a good deal for the price but not the tastiest burger I’ve tried.

Unbelievable burgers, genuinely great for an absolutely ridiculous price. Double Cheeseburger for 99k, Chicken Burger for 79k and a fries for 25k. Haven’t gone into the restaurant yet, but have enjoyed the deliveries thoroughly. Highly highly recommend to everyone !

Wow! Best burger I had for a very long time! I would say by far one of the best in Saigon! And regarding my tastes, top of the list! Real home made buns Juicy thick and tasty patty Sauce and other ingredients ace and perfectly balanced! And on the top the burger travels perfectly for delivery, all that for 100K! Can’t beat this!

The most satisfying burger I‘ve had in Saigon. According to the chef they even make the buns and all the sauces themselves! We had a bacon-egg burger and a hawaiian juicy burger. Both were perfect! The owners are super friendly. But the things that won my heart were actually the two cute dogs. Can‘t wait to meet them again! The only thing that needs to be improved is the location. Not suitable to dine-in. And you will catch all of the smells onto your body and clothes. As we did sit inside though, we both left smelling heavily after the fried fries and burgers. The smoke from the kitchen also made my eyes burnt. It would be better to go there on a not-rainy day and sit outside.

A local tiny burger joint. Very affordable restaurant with very nice staff. The bread and the spicy mayo are made on site. Enough topping options to satisfy everybody. I got the bacon cheeseburger with a fries egg and the cheese fries. I ate on site so I was able to use the ketchup and homemade spicy mayo. Oh my god, I drenched my fries in the spicy mayo, if you order delivery, ask them to give you a bag of it !! It was a good and satisfying burger. I recommend this place !
