There’s no such thing as a bad burger - the satisfying oozing cheese, fluffy bun, and juicy patty are definitely worth cheating on your diet for. Burgers often get a bad rap thanks to its synonymity with fast food joints, but restaurants home delivery have raised the ‘steaks’ with gourmet offerings created with Angus beef, slices of truffle, smoked brisket patties, and even Impossible Foods options for the veggies.
With a little help from our expat burger testing army – applications open – we’ve rounded up a list of spots with the best burgers in Singapore.

BurgerLabo
Contributor Gareth Walters is a huge fan of burgers and the recent spate of openings globally and in Singapore has been a welcome culinary trend. Gareth says, "I deliberately went with one rather than a sample of the 3 of the beef variety - I had the Wagyu which was full of flavour and so tender it took little chewing at all. The patty’s were also packed full of flavour and coated with delicious sauces and marrow. The Angus and other Japanese (secret menu) will be tried on a later visit. There is also a chicken burger created by 3* Michelin chef Julien Royer of Odette - this was not tried and also left as a huge reason for a return visit.
For takeaway, please call us at +65 6694 0807 between 11:00 am and 8:00 pm from Monday to Sunday (till 13th June 2021). Please note that pick up is at Naked Finn, 39 Malan Road during this period.
