Sure you could go to Grill’d in Acland Street for an organic burger. Or, if really hangover try the low fat burger – the worst burger I have encountered – at Maccas.
If you are in the know though, you’ll be popping round to the corner of Acland and Barkly Streets to Danny’s (164 Barkly St, St Kilda 3182 +61 9537 1453).
Yes, you heard right. Danny’s, the Fitzroy diner famous for making the best burgers in Melbourne since 1945, has opened in St Kilda.
The café previously on this corner was always a hang out for local down and outs, disenfranchised taxi drivers, alcoholics, drugs addicts and the girls who ply their trade on the local streets.
And know you’ll find food snobs like me there because the burgers at Danny’s diner are inspired. The lamb burger comes on a toasted sesame bun with chopped onion, tzatziki and a slice of cheese. for $6.50. The beef burgers – the double lot with egg, bacon tomato and egg at $7.50 – is everything you want.
And you can even phone your order in.

    The prices here seem very reasonable , especially compared with some of the other gourmet burger chains around at the mo. Will have to keep this place in mind. Have you tried th other burget place on Fitzroy st…called urban burgers or something?

    I don’t know urban burgers but will seek it ot to compare. I know BBNQ were I was put off by a burnt fat smell and The Gourmet Burger Co – where the burgers were expensive, too large and collapsed – closed. The great thing about Danny’s is tht the burgers are the right size and construction so they don’t fall apart.
