Bunsen in Dublin

The burger is amazing! It's worth every euro you pay... But the fries, the service, the space...on a Monday night, 40€ for two people is not worth it!! :-(

This place is great if you're craving a classic burger. They only have two types of burgers, but they're very good. For me, the best thing was the shoestring fries; they were delicious and there was a generous portion. The sweet potato fries were also very good. If you don't have much time to stop for a meal, it's a good option. The only downside I would mention is the price, because if you want to add bacon to a burger that already costs between €10-15 without fries, you have to pay an extra €2.25.

Amazing burger, well seasoned with just the right amount of toppings!

The bun sets the tone immediately. Soft, glossy, very lightly toasted, and sturdy enough to hold everything together without stealing the spotlight. The patties are made from 3 cuts. Well seared with a deep crust that brings proper Maillard flavor, while the inside looks juicy and beef forward. The melt on the cheese is exactly where it should be, draped and oozing into every crevice, amplifying savoriness without masking the meat. The menu is small (literally) as they only have hamburger or cheeseburger and the basic toppings like lettuce, tomato, bacon…etc The only issue was the meat was overcooked as I asked for medium and became slightly chewy but still enjoyable. Overall, this is a no nonsense, properly built cheeseburger that respects tradition and rewards good technique. Simple on paper, satisfying in reality, and exactly what a serious burger should look like.

Very fast and professional service. The only downside is that they don't have much variety; they should add some chicken and vegan options, but the flavors are very good.

The burger was perhaps a little overcooked… I would have preferred it less cooked and juicier. The fries were good. The waiters were friendly.

This burger chain is a good option for a quick bite. The quality-price ratio is decent, although it might not be the best choice for a busy Saturday in December. The place was quite crowded and noisy, and the fries were slightly overcooked. There was also a minor issue with the beef; I ordered it medium-rare, but it arrived more well-done than expected. It would probably be a more pleasant experience on a less busy day.

I was there to the Dame street branch last night, with three friends. I had been previously with a brother-in-law. It hits the right notes in terms of food - large quantities and very tasty (burgers and chips), service is quick enough and a good atmosphere in the place. The price point (including the tip) is very fair - roughly E30.50 each, for 2 beers and a burger and chips each. All in all it is a classy place, i'd be looking to go back and also to check out the Wexford street branch

Bunsen on Dame Street has become a bit of an institution in Dublin — and for good reason. The place reminds me of an upscale In-N-Out Burger: a small menu, laser-focused on doing the basics perfectly. There are only two burgers — single or double — and three types of fries, but everything is cooked to perfection and tastes incredible every single time. The quality of the beef, the soft toasted buns, and the balance of flavors show how much care goes into every burger. Drinks are kept simple too: classic sodas, a few canned or bottled beers, and a small but thoughtful wine list (available by the glass or bottle). It’s all you need. Bunsen doesn’t try to do too much — it just does the essentials exceptionally well. A great spot that truly deserves its reputation as one of Dublin’s best burger joints.

En comparación con mi experiencia en Dublín, ahora puedo ver por qué Bunsen es tan apreciado en el mundo de las hamburguesas. Pero... no puede IT honrarlo con cinco macarrones. Lo visité un domingo por la tarde. El domingo después del Día del Orgullo. IT era tranquilo, y había muchas mesas abiertas. Los servidores eran muy agradables, y la comida estaba perfectamente cocinada y entregada rápidamente. No puedo decir específicamente por qué no puedo darle un 5 / 5 IT ; mis estándares de hamburguesas son altos. IT estaba justo ahí arriba tocando a la puerta para una puntuación perfecta. A cada uno lo suyo, pero IT *simplemente* falló la marca.
