    By far the best burger place in Dublin. They expanded, but still maintained their quality of using fresh Irish beef and fresh potatoes for their fries options. If you are in dublin, this is a must visit. Iconic burger stop! The burgers prices range between €8.75 - €12.65 depending on cheese and patties count. Toppings are all free Fries options range between €3.95 - €5.95, sweet potato fries being the most expensive. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

    Best Burger possibly ever!

    If you want the best burger in Ireland, you have to come to Bunsen. I was a little hesitant because the pictures seemed to have thicker burgers, but I prefer smash burgers. When we ordered, I got mine well done due to this and it was PERFECT and had yummy, crispy edges!! The more you have the burgers cooked, the thinner they are. The medium burgers were thicker than I would have liked, but the others really enjoyed theirs, as well. You also get a choice of thick cut or shoestring fries - shoestring are the way to go in my opinion. The waitress was really friendly and the place overall was very clean.

    The Bunsen cheeseburger is done well! The meat is a nice pink medium (you can get it more well done as well), the bread nice and fluffy, and the sauce in the burger has the right amount of ketchup, mustard, and mayo. The lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle add a good mix of texture that enhances the cheeseburger. Sweet potato fries are hot with the right balance of crunchy and soft sweet potato texture. This is definitely my default burger place in Dublin. They offer a small menu, but they do every item perfectly!

    If you're in Dublin and craving a burger, this is a good choice. If I had to compare Bunsen to a US burger chain, the meat has a similar texture and flavor to Smash Burger (that's a compliment, as far as I'm concerned). The menu is simple: burger with or without cheese, one patty or two. You can pick how much you want it cooked (I went with medium). It comes with condiments but you can remove them (no mayo!) The choice of fries are hand cut, shoe string or sweet potato. The hand cut were OK but not remarkable; very lightly salted. A big enough portion for two people. Sort drinks, beer and wine for drinks. Oddly the beer choices were american brands, not Irish ones. The milk shake on the next table looked tempting. You can pay by credit card. I would give the burger 4 stars but the French fries bring it down a notch

    One of the best burgers I've had for awhile in terms of new food adventures of burgers! It was juicy, flavorful and simply delicious! Add the shoestring fries that makes you want more because it's so thin, that I was just stuffing my mouth with the entirety of everything! That was how bomb it was!

    Incredible. Such a quaint place, with a small menu and everything is good. My brother compared the quality and taste to a smashburger, I think its better. If I lived here, I'd be going all the time. They have straight up burgers, where you can choose one patty or two, cheese or not, and do you want anything on it. They have a very small wine list, and a few craft bees including their own Bunsen, which was my personal favorite. Definitely worth the visit, I wish I could go all the time!

    Exactly what they claim. I'm a burger junky, so "best burger" is subjective. However, it's top notch by every standard. I wasn't aware, they do have beer and wine and an upstairs I missed. Close to another burger joint, so don't get confused. This is the real deal.

    Their menu on a business sized card
    Cassie T.

    Not as fast food as you would think because they make it to order so we did find ourselves waiting a bit longer than expected. Simple execution without sacrificing quality, their menu is even on a business card. We were very hungry and thought about getting a double but we were glad we didn't! The single patty was fulfilling and when we saw the guy next to us get served a double, everyone was like holey moley that's big. The Bunsen beer wasn't bad either and they also had wine to offer. It would've been nice to go up to pay instead of waiting around for someone to come to us to speed things up but they only had one card reader. This is a good place to get a solid yummy burger.

    The 2nd best burger I've ever had... That's a huge compliment!
    Rick R.

    I have this ranked as the second best burger I've ever had in my life. That's saying a lot! I've been all over the world and I love burgers. This one is well balanced with truly delicious and thick meat, perfectly melted cheese, lettuce, raw onion, and tomato. The bun is working hard to hold these ingredients together amidst the flowing juices from the tasty burger patties. Yes, I was bold that night and got the double cheeseburger. I took that burger down.... Down to Chinatown! My one and only complaint... I'd really like the option to get grilled onions instead of raw. Oh, and those hand cut fries. Wow. They are way up there with some of the best I've ever had. Just go here, roll up your sleeves, and dig into one of the best burgers you'll ever find on this, or any other, planet.

    A simple menu like In and Out in California but small and intimate with really nice big burgers with top grade Irish beef and minimal bun.

    I made a work trip to Ireland earlier this month staying at the Camden Court Hotel. Zaytoon is…read moreacross the street from the hotel and it's open late. They have a good selection of Mediterranean cuisine (shish kabobs, falafels). I've eaten there most at the end of the night of hanging out at different pubs and their food really hit the spot. I remember their beef shish or falafel meals. Their meat and falafel balls seem fresh and their stuff includes fresh veggies. They turn their orders around very quickly at late night, either for dine-in or take-away. They have plenty of dine-in seating. Zaytoon and its staff were very helpful at the late night rush, I'm assuming they're just as good during the day.

    Zaytoon is a Persian restaurant offering a fast-casual menu of Mediterranean-influenced kebabs and…read moreother dishes. I tried the Beef Kebab, the Koobideh (spiced ground lamb and beef), and the Falafel (herbaceous chickpea fritters). The kebabs were juicy and flavorful, but the falafels were too soft, wet, and crumbly for my liking. The family-style menu also came with hummus, tzatziki, a spicy chili sauce, salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, red onion, pickled red cabbage), and freshly-baked rounds of taftoon flatbread. Overall, everything we tried was flavorful, healthy, and came at a reasonable price for the quality of food!
