We were looking for a place where we could get a no-nonsense quality burger in Melbourne and were recommended Burger Project (The Aviary Level 2, St. Collins Lane, 260 Collins Street) by a friend (cheers Crystal!); which from what I've read is an offshoot from the Rockpool Dining Group.
Was it good? Yeah, I think so. It's a joint that seemed focused on the quality of the ingredients - especially the beef, than trying to be unnecessarily fanciful. The only place from back home I could compare them to is Omakase Burger. I see and taste parallels in their burgers.
Burger Project has buns that held up better from the juices though. Their chips (fries) were thick cut, nicely crusted and addictive - hence, better too.
The meat was of medium doneness, properly salted and had a good crust on the exterior. The only thing that I would change in a revisit would probably be to omit their sauce. Not a fan of their special sauce or rose mayonnaise. I didn't think those helped much. I have no qualms revisiting them though.
There's a thick shake on the menu which comes in Valrhona chocolate which was pretty good.
