Love this place!!!!! I've never had a bad experience in Bunsen!Every time I have friends come to visit Dublin I always bring them here for lunch, the food is really quick and always super fresh! I would defiantly be a burger person and Bunsen never disappoints! I always go for the cheese burger medium-rare with all the topping and hand cut fries as a side!!It's really cheap and usually comes to around 10 euro, which is perfect for lunch!! The staff are so friendly and helpful and always ask if every thing is ok durning your meal! It gets really busy at lunch time form 12pm so get in early! read more

Bunsen - Seating area!! - Burgers Near Me - Dublin, D

Finally got to try Bunsen. It's been on the list for a while. It's another pretty funky place opened in Dublin. Seems like a lot of these kind of places are about these days. I had the cheeseburger with home fries. It was really good- the only issue was the bun was a bit cold and the service was pretty slow- slower than it should have been at lunch time. The fries are great though. Tried my friends milkshake which was awesome. See they do gluten free options too which will suit a friend who misses his burger and chips. The price is a little steep for lunch but there would be enough of the fries to share so it's definitely not stingey portions. Will go back. read more

Bunsen - Burgers Near Me - Dublin, D

I have heard so much about Bunsen and their perfect burgers. I was in the neighbourhood and hungry so I popped in. It was late afternoon so I was the solo diner for a few minutes. I ordered a vanilla shake and a cheeseburger. The shake came immediately and the burger a few minutes later. I enjoyed my burger a lot. It was certainly the best burger I have eaten in Dublin although the burgers I had in Big Als in Sitges and in Mojitos in Corralejo this year were tastier to my mind. The woman who was serving was very friendly. I personally think this is a great place to pop into for a quick bite for an hour. I wouldn't really be thinking of it as a dinner destination read more

Bunsen - The dining room - Burgers Near Me - Dublin, D

This is a burger joint but the burgers are above average. Closest to a proper American burger than you usually get in Ireland. They are so confident in the quality of their meat that they ask how you'd like your burger. I asked for medium rare and it was good. Menu is simple (4beef burger options, 3 fries and 3 drink options) but when the burgers are this good why do you want more. Nice little restaurant space and nice friendly staff. read more

Bunsen - Cheese burger, medium rare, with the works and hand cut fries. - Burgers Near Me - Dublin, D

Juicy Burgers, great fries (wether it be hand-cut, shoe-string or sweet potato) and decent music. Love the option of choosing how you want your burger cooked (medium!) Probably the closest thing to a burger joint I've experienced in Dublin! Highly recommend! read more

BEST BURGER EVER! Just to die for, really. I took the double cheese burger with sweet potato chips, awesone, I really recommend! (The only "bad thing" to say maybe, is that I was expecting more cheese for a double cheese burger..) read more

What a pleasant surprise! While exploring Dublin we stopped into Bunsen for a quick lunch and were happy that we did. The menu is small with just a few varieties of burgers and fries. They serve alcohol as well as some local beers. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was everything you would want a burger to be. Very flavorful and juicy and all the burger ratios were perfect. The fries were fresh and delicious as well. Great customer service and prices. The place is smaller but is clean and fuss-free. I seriously crave Bunsen often, too bad I am across the Atlantic. read more

Excellent burgers! Not a huge selection, but it's well worth it. Their skinny fries are great as well! Highly recommend!

One of the best cheeseburger I have ever eaten. Ordered a well done burger but I guess a medium would be fine too.

Burgers and Beers are just a match made in heaven! Beeing a coeliac and loving nothing more than good simple burgers and a beer to go along aint that simple. I have been too many places which adjust to allergies like no bun etc. But this isn't the whole burger fun, as you just wanna grab the bun, take a bite and wash it down with a chilled beer! So I finally found a place where I can let myself go and have the whole Burger fun as all my mates. Simple good gluten free burgers, gluten free beer nice friendly service and reasonable priced ! I will be back for my next burger beer feast in no time ! read more

Hands down the best burger in Dublin! It's normally full so you'll have to put your name down on their fantastic booking system (they text you a link to a page where you can see your position in the queue and they'll text you when they have space). The burgers are fat, juicy and satisfying and the chips are perfect. They have the most fantastically simple menu as well. * A word of advice - you don't really need two patties, they're very, very big on their own! read more

Great way to have a burger in a really relaxed environment with a great location on Wexford street. It almost feels like at home although the place is usually packed! Quick and nice service too.. Amazing size of the menu as I usually need ages to decide what I want :) AND order your burger the way you want it, great medium juicy cooked - you can't get this in a lot of places! Bit of a downside would be the fact that I was here twice and got almost cold sweet potato fries, they still taste awesome - but no! read more

Absolutely fantastic burgers, which is good because it's the only thing on the menu! Myself and my better half went here a few days after it opened. Minimalist decor and menu you can either choose a burger or a cheese burger - vegetarians need not apply. The burgers are not huge, everything on them burgers like JoBurger or Bobos (both of which are great in their own right) but more like a michelin star chef got lost and ended up in McDonalds. That said we both thought they were absolutely fantastic and very reasonable. We will absolutely return. read more

This burger was so good that I would have actually preferred scrapping the side of fries and going for a double patty, or, dare I say, TWO BURGERS?! That. Good. Seriously messy venture though, don't even think about going there on a first date read more

I have to update my review. I was maybe a bit harsh initially. But I just didn't enjoy the burger. There is only really one burger so that was a bit of problem. (cheese or plain burger) However for my Wife, Bunsen is the best burger place in Dublin, probably the world. So I have persevered and have been converted, For a treat I took her there tonight and I had a moment of clarity. Why didn't I like this burger when everyone else in Dublin seems to love it? I'm not a mean person I don't dislike places just for the hell of it, I really had trouble with it. Why didn't I like it? Well my main problem was it was just too meaty for me. I know that's strange thing to say. But it was. Then I realised. The 3 previous times I had ordered the burger medium. Maybe I thought that was the problem. Get it cooked well done and see what happens. So I did, and boy did it make a difference for me. I wolfed it down and was instantly converted. So my advice you all, if you have tried this place and didn't like it, then try the burger a different way because it made a difference to me. Only 4 stars as I didn't think the fries were amazing. But I will be back again and who knows maybe this could move up to a 5 star review. read more

Ok so i'm coeliac. And not a new fad, 'ooh i want to be healthy by not eating gluten' coeliac. A fully fledged, no messing around coeliac. So in my ten years I have had to put up with a lot. I used to have to buy my food through the chemist - yes the chemist. There was a time when there was just one supplier of gluten free food, which was filled with chemicals and other hard to pronounce ingredients, not like the organic lovely stuff we see today. In my ten years I've missed out on the deliciousness that is a big, fat, greasy burger. This place is the shizz. They know their stuff. There's no frills or long extenuating menus confusing customers. There's two options - cheese or no cheese. And obviously a double option for both if you are a meat eating champion. A friend told me about it, he said that when he first took a bite the heavens opened up and angels sang. 'Riiiiiight, all this from a burger?' I thought. And of course he was right. The bun was soft enough that you knew was fresh, but toasted on the outside to allow for a bit of crunch. The burger was, well, fucking delicious. There's not much more that I can say other than - get your butt there ASAP!!! Cudos to the guys at Bunsen for filling my coeliac-havent-had-a-burger-in-ten-years tummy with yummy goodness. read more

The best burger I have ever had. I don't sling that accolade around as much as I want to believe me, but I have found myself having to a lot more recently. The simple reason is that food, particularly in Dublin has gotten better and better. But not just the quality but the actual style has gotten better....people are using their head more and a lot are now winning withe the 'do one thing but do it dam well' formula. Bunsen on Wexford st is one such place....it's just a burger joint, small, perfectly formed and welcoming. Bunsen does two things....burgers and fries...that's it and because they focus entirely on these two simple things they have (in my opinion) perfected them. Unlike other 'trending' burger places Bunsen doesn't provide a mountain of toppings to choose from..cheese, pickle, sauce....that's it, there's no hiding place place at Bunsen for sub-standard beef (take note burger bars with 76 toppings). If you want a burger in its purest form, they way it was meant then get to Bunsen. R read more

I finally found a burger place in Dublin that would be right at home in the burger heaven of my home town, Los Angeles. My new #1 burger place for Dublin. Like In-N-Out, a very simple menu that consists of burgers, fries, and drinks. They actually ask how you want the patty cooked, and in contrast to even most fancy steak restaurants, the burger actually came the way I asked, medium. They mince the meat themselves, which allows them to combine different cuts of beef in their own custom ratio. This burger patty was actually juicy, in stark contrast to many of the other burgers I've had in Dublin. They have a choice of fries: hand cut, shoestring, or sweet potato. I am a die hard shoestring fan, and they were cooked perfectly, and you get a lot of them. I ordered a single cheeseburger, and when it first arrived, it looked small and I wished I had ordered a double, but by the time I finished it, I was amazed at how much there was. The patty is pretty thick, so although the bun may not be as large as others, in total there was a lot of burger there. read more

So I'm just going to be adding the many many good reviews of this spot. It really is on of the best if not the best burger ive every had. The restaurant itself is all painted the one pale gray sort color and is all quite minimalist. The staff were very welcoming and very friendly, the whole please has a very trendy feel to it. I love that the menu is just on a little business card, sucks if your looking for anything that isn't a beef burger but I feel most people know what there getting into when to go to Bunsen I got the sweet potato fries which are gorgeous and I would of happily ate a bucket of them as well as double cheese burger which is giant! It literally would not fit in my mouth. I ordered it with everything on it but pulled off the tomato when it arrived(as is tradition). It was very juicy! And made a mighty mess around the table. Even I manege to get some of it on my clothes and table which I was disappointing at my self for as Ive spent many man hours in my early 20s eating sloppy food in the early am and figured i should have that skill nailed down my now, but the burger turned out to be to worthy a foe. I would not complain at all about Bunsen but I do have two kind of niggles. The price, as good as it is, it is just a burger, chips and a soft drink and I paid 16.35 for it. Not gonna break the bank but still. The other is that there is only one toilet? and for a place that at a rough guess sits 40ish people? Which means you have to stand awkwardly around pretending you dont need to pee or keep an eye on the toilets and time it right But look they are only niggles I did whole heatedly enjoy going there and eating the food , fantastic spot and did in fact live up to the hype :) read more

Menu is not extensive but what they so they do very well. Proper sized, delicious burgers that you can pick up and eat and aren't gigantic things held together with a skewer like the wanky 'gourmet' places. The buns don't fall apart, you don't need a knife and fork. Best burger in town by some distance. read more

Excellent burgers, beef patties cooked to perfection with the right amount of toppings so it doesn't amount to messy eating + generous portion of fries... what's not to like? Good prices too and efficient service - great for a quick fuss-free meal. read more

This is by far the best burger I've ever had!!! Very good service!!!! Friendly staff. I will definitely come back again before we head home.

I appreciate that the burgers here are really good but I just have to say I have had better. The service here (the one in Templebar) really lets this place down for me, especially considering how small the menu is. On two occassions that I have been here with friends our food has been brought to the table wrong. A lactose intolerant friend was even asked "are you sure?" when he told the server that he hadn't ordered a cheeseburger. The burgers are good as you can clearly see from all of the other reviews. I just think it shouldn't take several attempts before we have the correct food on the table. read more

What can I say about Bunsen Burger that hasn't already been said? As it turns out, not a whole lot! While there is a major market for burger joints such as GBK and Jo'Burger, there is still something to be said for a good aul' fashioned, simple, perfectly cooked cheeseburger. And oh boy, does Bunsen do simple to a tee. Now when I say simple, that is not a knock. Far from it actually! You won't find any fancy, hipster ingredients here. Plain, cheese and bacon/cheese are your three toppings options, with of course a Gluten free bun and paleo option too. What it lacks in variety in makes up for in flavour and quality in SPADES. This is by far the best burger you will find in Dublin City, bar none! The burger beautifully melts in your mouth and if it was any juicier, I'd be needing a straw! I ordered the hand cut fries and they were pretty damn good too I have to say. I figured the fries wouldn't be as good as all I heard about were the burgers, but the fries certainly held up too. So there you have it. Quite simply the BEST burger you will find in Dublin City. What else is there more to say? Other than that they've recently opened up a second location Temple Bar, which is a 1 minute walk from my apartment, so I definitely see a lot more Bunsen Burgers in my future. Oh! And they also ask how you would like your burger cooked which is very rare in this day and age but very much appreciated. Medium/rare obviously.... read more

Holy burgers, sports fans. I'll admit, I was going to take my friend to Generator as I'd had a damned fine burger experience there before, but I'm so glad we ended up here. And it's not easy to end up here, especially on a Thursday night -- I imagine on the weekends it's even harder. Even so, I'll warrant you'll forgive the wait. We booked a table for four as that was the maximum we could book. Then, by some twist of fate an hour and a half later, we were gifted another two seats. Brilliant -- there were at least six of us! (The others we left to fend for themselves. Harsh --and not exactly fair-- but when it comes to burgers one must act ruthlessly.) Not sure I dig that kind of hang about, but it's not their fault they're so popular. The menu is basically a business card. No need to mess about, like. I'm into it. Cheeseburger, shoestring fries, and a beer. Oh my delicious patty, that was a fine piece of meat. I don't mean to sound lurid, but when you're salivating over burgers (even via a laptop), it's an unfortunate side effect -- and I hate phrasing like "foodgasm" or "burger porn". (Ugh.) Whatever. That burger was incredible and I don't think I even looked at my cohorts, let alone spoke to them, whilst in its fleeting presence. I love burger. But, one toilet? I mean, I guess it's a pretty tiny place. Whatever. The most important thing is the burger. Burger. read more

Best burger I've had in Dublin. The menu is on a business card. They know what they are good at and they do it so well. I like my burgers medium well and it was done to perfection. They wont do the burger rare. The least they will cook it is medium. So if you like your burgers quite red, this place may not suit you. But don't let that put you off, the chips are amazing and I've heard great things about the sweet potato fries as well. The only thing is the milkshakes are €4.50 which i think is a bit expensive considering the size of them. I have never gotten one because I consider them too expensive. read more

This will be short and sweet. Top quality burger, hand cut fries were a little cold for my liking and can't beat eating a messy burger without drinking a coke through a straw. The menu was a nice touch to keep it simple. Great place, lovely burgers. Will be back read more

Absolutely the best burger in Dublin by a mile! There are four choices; a burger, double burger, cheese burger or double cheeseburger! You can choose between fries or sweet potato fries - always go for the sweet potato fries!! Decent selection of wines and beers. I'm knocking a star off for the service which can be ht and miss. read more

No frills burger joint with pretty damn tasty burgers (fortunately!). Sparse up-cycled interior full of the cold NYC greys and Scandinavian clean lines that seems to be par for the course in any business starting up nowadays. Looks good to me at least! Tiny menu, both physically (it's on a business card) and in terms of selection: burger, cheeseburger, fries, soda, milkshake. Good quality meat (it's from the F.X.Buckley herd) - cooked medium so it's nicely juicy. Bun is a bit floppy for my liking, but it's tasty enough. Standard pickles and ketchup - nowt too high quality in terms of add-ons. Skin-on fries are delicious. Service is friendly as you'll find in the city. It ain't haut-cuisine (although they'll try and kid you on that it is), but it's a nice option to have on a pretty cool street in the city. Burger, fries and a coke will set you back around a tenner - decent value, and extra cash to spend on getting lashed on good beer in Against the Grain across the road. read more

Enough has been said about Bunsen burgers that to repeat it would be redundant - so I'll provide some context! My brother and sister-in-law visited from America for a few nights, so of course we needed somewhere to go before starting the bars! Bunsen was that place. Now, don't get me wrong, we have some GOOD burgers in California, but they loved the place so much that they actually ended up coming back again before their trip was over! Simplistic menu, you can grab a wine or beer with your burger, good fries (including sweet potato), it's just a solid option all around! The burgers only go as rare as medium - but that's nice and pink and juicy so no complaints! Excellent, excellent, excellent. read more

I can't help but be very underwhelmed by this place. A bit overpriced and the burgers are just okay. I also can't help but be a little frustrated that this place is known for being 'American style.' Believe me - it gets a lot better on the other side of the Atlantic. If I do go here again, I will ask for them to cook my burger rare as they seem to think medium is well-done... I hate to think what well-done looks like! read more

Brilliant gluten free burger. Such a treat to have a proper gluten free burger with a bun (not a lettuce leaf). And what a burger on top of that, nothing fancy just loads of classic flavors done well. Only reason I took away a star is the chips are so-so (the sweet potato are better) and the veggie option (grilled cheese on toast) is a bit lame. They mentioned they've plans for a veggie option, can't wait so I can drag the girlfriend back more often. read more

This is my new "go to" burger place in Dublin, overtaking Bobo's and Aussie BBQ. The simplicity is genius, as is the execution. I had the single cheeseburger (which is plenty food, FYI). First of all, the bun is perfection! The beef cooked to order. I went for medium, it came out medium. Cheese perfectly melted and the pickle, onion and mustard complemented it all perfectly. Supplemented with hand-cut fries which were delicious (add some salt) and a coke. Worthy of regular visits if in the area. read more

Best burger of my life. Amazing, loads of lovely chips. They've a lovely little beer selection too. The menu is tiny and simple. Burger or a double burger. No bullshit. I simply adore this place. I live 15 miles from Dublin but would walk to this place cos it's gorgeous1 HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

Oh my goodness this filled us right up. Delicious and quick compared to the other nearby restaurants. Recommend for a great burger and fries! read more

Was taken here as a birthday gift. Boy! Did I get a burger to remember! I now know the origin of "stuffing your face". Because, that was exactly what I was doing. I stuffed my face so fast, that though I my stomach felt overwhelmed, my tongue was screaming for more. I would be lying to myself if I did not admit that the roar of my tongue made me lick the burger grease off the wrap for the full exposure of flavour. Even after leaving the place, I caught myself licking my fingers for a sweet reminder of the orgasmic pleasure that just happened. The meat was so well-done that I would like to have a pillow with the same softness. The cheese was not just a layer added in between the buns, but a coating that the patties was submerged in before their creator gently placed them onto the bed of lettuce and tucked it in with two homemade buns. Buns as soft as ice-cream. read more

An understated burger joint with a menu so small it fits on a business card. The options here are simple: a burger or a double burger, cheese or no cheese (is that even an option? always cheese!), skinny fries or fat fries, beer or milkshake. All in it will cost under €15 for a tasty burger in an ambient setting. The double is sure to fill that gaping hole in your stomach and the milkshakes are a tasty treat. Each burger comes with pickle, onion, tomato, lettuce, ketchup, mustard and mayo. You'll have to wait a little bit for your burger but not longer than any other gourmet burger place. The service is pretty good but make sure to say how you want your burger done (rare, medium, well) in case they forget to ask. The burger is a decent size and you can easily shove it in your mouth without causing too much of a mess. I have some reservations about the bun but I can live with that and my stomach hasn't complained yet. The venue is nice and there is a big ass table at the back if you're with a large group of people. If you don't feel like sitting in and having people look at you eat they also do takeway. There is also the added "coolness" of the proprietor having worked in Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck restaurant (which has 3 Michelin stars) as well as having worked in a couple of other Michelin star restaurants. If you visit their web site/twitter/facebook you can see some behind the scenes details if you fancy a bit of background on your food i.e. they went through 12 prototype bun recipes, tested 50 kinds of cheese and endlessly tinkered to find their mince ratio. Anyway you probably know all this since every newspaper and blogger out there has been falling over themselves to review this place and talk about the background of the owner. Overall I really enjoy eating in here but the bun isn't to my taste so I'm knocking off a star for that. p.s. try a Sierra Nevada Californian Pale Ale with your burger read more

Though it is insanely busy due to its popularity i must say this is my favourite burger place in dublin. I loved the simple business card menu, the food came out quickly and it was supremely delicious. My burger and i shared some great times, though our time together was brief! read more
