Is the Ivanhoe home to the best burger in Sydney? Ivan-no! This pub is one of those who has spent a fortune on the fit-out, and not much time on the food. The burger is lackluster and has a dirty, herbaceous flavour that stays with one long into the evening… Ugh.
There is no pinkness. No blush. It’s overdone but that’s testament to the quality of the meat being used, which obviously isn’t very high grade. I have nothing positive to say about this burger.
The chips on the other hand, are spectacular. They must be double fried as they are so obnoxiously crunchy. Golden rods of Heaven.
So far my research of burgers on the northern beaches has not returned any gems. Bugger.
