Bunsen

You'll smell the beef hitting the flat-top grill before you even step through the door on Anne Street. The queue moves quickly, but there's always one — testament to what happens when someone strips the burger back to its absolute essentials and nails every single element. The menu is refreshingly short: beef, chicken, or veggie, with chips and shakes to round things out. Your burger arrives wrapped in paper, no fuss, but that first bite reveals why this spot has spawned queues since day one. The beef is properly seasoned, cooked to order, and sits in a brioche bun that actually complements rather than dominates. The chips are hand-cut and cooked in beef dripping — proper stuff. It's fast food, but not as the chains know it, and Dublin is infinitely better for it.
