It feels like almost every few weeks; a
new burger place pops up in Sydney. Being spoiled with so much burger choices
is not such a bad thing right?! I'm all about that fun in a bun. Just a few
days ago, North Sydney joins the #burgertown club when Five Points Burgers (by Chef Tomislav Matrinovic) opened up. Thanks to my homie @howac for
pointing them out to me via Instagram!
Located on Berry Street (near Walker
Street) is a new burger joint named after an old New York neigbourhood called
Five Points. The space has an industrial and diner-style fit out. The menu is
very minimal consisting of four types of burgers, milkshakes, chips etc.
I got more excited when I noticed that they cook their burger patties smash-style and that they use Brasserie Bread's soft sweet milk buns. Although BB's milk buns are
soft, based on experience they handle burgers really well. I knew I was in for
a treat!

| Beer battered chips |
The beer
battered chips ($4) were one of the best I've had. It had a beautiful
crisped outer layer, nicely seasoned and incredibly fluffy on the inside.
 |
| Salted caramel milkshake |
The salted
caramel milkshake ($6) was perfect. It wasn't too heavy and it had just
enough salt in the caramel to mellow down the sweetness.
 |
| The Manhattan burger |
The Manhattan
burger ($10) had a smash-style beef patty, pickles, double American cheese,
tomato sauce, mustard, aioli, pickle and iceberg lettuce. I normally not big on
lettuce in my burgers but this is one of those exceptions as it was absolutely
delicious! The beef patty was juicy, flavoursome, cooked medium rare and the caramelised
crust gave it a depth of flavour. I loved the combined zingy flavour from the
mustard, the tangy tomato sauce and the garlicky creamy aioli. The cheeses were
perfectly melted and the bun was lightly toasted. The lettuce gave it a nice
crunch.

| The Bronx burger |
So will I go back to Five Points anytime
soon?? That's an absolute yes! In my opinion, the Bronx is definitely a
contender as one of Sydney's best burgers. Follow them on Instragram for
updates. Word on the street is that they will be opening late nights soon. Stay
tuned!
