WOAP2015: The Bresolin

When? Thursday August 27, 2015
Who? Nic, Jordan, Tim
Food Style? Contemporary European
The Bresolin opened late last year after their owners, Leonardo and Lorenzo Bresolin, decided to close Crazy Horse Steak House and begin a new venture at the Edwardian Villa near where Willis Street meets the Northbound Motorway. Complete with rotisserie outside and stocked with beer on the inside, the Bresolin offers shared plates and woodfire meats, but also on the last Sunday of the month, you can see the smoke billowing out of the chimney there, signalling that a whole roast pig is currently being cooked.
Following on from our disappointment on Wednesday night, we resolved to get there early at Thursday lunchtime to guarantee our burgers. They've been recommended by Lizzie and her crew, so we're keen to give it a go as well.
Burger: Game Changer
Double beef patties with cheese, streaky bacon and The Bresolin BBQ sauce in a wagyu fat brioche bun, with fries
Not for the weak-hearted, you might feel a bit of chest pain after this one. Full of flavour, juicy and cheesy, definitely loaded with a lot of meaty goodness. Didn't particularly notice anything special about the bun, but overall, a pretty good burger. If Dukes did McDonalds, then the Bresolin have done Burger King.
I gave them eight out of ten for their burger.
