I was looking forward to this meal and extremely disappointed. Tortilla chips we ordered were stale, and we got about 2 euros worth for 10. We asked for new ones, they were also stale. Mains were very small for 25/27 a piece (though they tasted very nice) . I booked a table online, and when me and my boyfriend arrived we were told we were going to be sat at the bar. I wouldn't mind if we'd just shown up, but I booked a TABLE and there was no mention that we might be seated at the bar online. Couldn't leave because they had a 40 deposit we'd lose. Was uncomfortable the whole time. Music and bartenders were too loud for us to have a conversation, this meal was supposed to be a special celebration. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri and after a 10 minute wait was told the machine wasn't working, so told them to leave it. Ended up eating and leaving as fast as we could as we weren't enjoying ourselves at all. Staff was wonderful, really nice and helpful, but I don't think I got what I paid for.
Kritt Normsaskul reviewed Black Bear Burger Restaurant Shoreditch
Black Burger makes one of the best, if not, the best burger in London.
It's meaty, it's juicy, cooked exactly how I like it and loaded with bacon, American cheese, sweet onion jam and more, all sandwiched between two pillowy soft brioche seeded buns. I know my description doesn't make it sound any different from the other burgers in London, but you must try it to know it. I don't know the secret as to how they do it so unbelievably well! You can even go big and get a double patty.
It's not a restaurant, more like a food stall that just happens to be housed within a shipping container. But that doesn't matter. Plonk yourself one of the long wooden communal benches in Boxpark Shoreditch and devour this incredible burger.
