Meat & Wine Company

Another burger post! It’s a shame that Meat & Wine Co. exists around the globe, except for the US! After jet cruising (or even before we started) around the harbor, Kirstie and I were ravished. Jenny had mentioned something about this place so we decided that it was worth a shot.

Given that it was a Friday afternoon, we were a bit concerned about the seating situation. Because we were in Darling Harbour, it seemed as if all the businessmen rushed out of their offices and planted themselves in one of the many restaurants that lined the harbour. Nevertheless, they were quickly able to seat us and in a booth! When you walk in, this gorgeous display of wines run up and down the rear wall.

Obviously, getting a burger was a must. But which one? They actually don’t have many choices so right off the bat, I knew I wanted the Hawaiian. Served with cheese, pineapple, and bacon- that sounded mouth licking-licious. And it was; I love burgers that are intricate in flavor with each bite. The mingling of spices, onions, and seasonings always adds depth to the average burger. I think that the pineapple really adds to a burger. It’s a delicated balance of sweet and savory. The thing was gigantic and I had to cut it in half with a knife to avoid the whole thing from toppling over.

The crunchy chips however, I wasn’t too fond of. I would have preferred my traditional fries than chips. I mean, these chips were to thin that they were almost like American potatoe chips. All burgers are served with these super crunchy chips as well as onion rings. Those were good, but not great.
