London's famous Burger & Lobster opens first outpost in BGC

Burger & Lobster, a renowned restaurant from London, has now opened its first location in the Philippines!

In late February, this famous eatery, known for its indulgent burgers and delicious lobsters, launched its new branch at SM Aura Premier in Bonifacio Global City.

At the Manila restaurant, you can find original dishes from London, including The Burger, The Lobster, and The Lobster Roll. Additionally, to cater to local tastes, Burger & Lobster has introduced new exclusive dishes specifically for the Filipino market.

"I've been here [for] a month just researching and understanding the flavor profiles and all that," Burger & Lobster's brand development chef Brian Chong told press members during its opening night.

"We've worked closely with local suppliers to source the best ingredients, and we've created dishes that not only maintain the quality and standards of Burger & Lobster but also cater to the tastes of our Filipino guests," he added.

What to try at Burger & Lobster for first timers

If you haven't tried Burger & Lobster in London or any of its branches in Singapore, Malaysia, Bangkok, New York, and more, then we suggest you get the B&L Combo Two if you're dining as a group.

B&L Combo Two (P7,090)

The B&L Combo Two has all of Burger & Lobster's signature dishes, including The Burger, made of 100% prime beef grilled and nestled in a brioche bun and drizzled with a secret burger sauce; The Lobster, a whole serving of Canadian lobster either grilled or steamed; and The Lobster Roll, a buttery toasted brioche roll brimming with lobster meat and Japanese mayo.

Aside from the main dishes, this group meal is also served with two B&L fries, two house salads, and two signature lemon and garlic butter sauces.

You may also get the signature dishes separately, priced at: The Burger (P990), The Lobster (P4,790), and The Lobster Roll (P1,490).

Aside from the classics, the Manila branch offers two exclusive new dishes, adding a unique and exciting element to our menu.

Honcho Burger (P595)

The Honcho Burger is inspired by the local burgers available in fast food chains in the Philippines but elevated. It's made with a smashed double patty with sauteed button mushrooms, cheese, and onions, all drizzled with a peppercorn cream sauce.

Surf & Turf Platter (P4,290-P6,390)

The Surf & Turf Platter includes 500g short ribs with a choice of half (P4,290) or whole lobster (P6,390), served with lemon garlic sauce, peppercorn sauce, B&L fries, and house salad.

For those with a smaller appetite, try the Lobster Mac & Cheese (P990) if you want something rich and creamy or the Lobster Chili-Garlic Roll (P690) for a spicy kick.

Burger & Lobster, located at G/F SM Aura Premier, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
