Neil Perry's Burger Project Opens in Martin Place

Get ready to chow down on mouthwatering Neil Perry hamburgers, CBD dwellers. Since opening in Sydney's World Square last October, the celebrity chef's high-end fast food joint Burger Project has become a favourite with local foodies, serving up a variation of his iconic Rockpool wagyu beef burger at a fraction of the price. Now, Martin Place has its very own chapter, with the opening of the second Sydney CBD Burger Project in the MLC Centre.

Open seven days on the lower ground floor of the centre, Burger Project is sticking to the winning World Square formula. You can expect a variety of tasty burgers including the Magic Mushroom burger, the beloved Chili Cheese burger, The Bacon Project burger, the Spicy Fried Chicken burger and of course the classic American cheeseburger. You can also get a bun-free burger served in a lettuce bowl, at no additional cost.

It's all licensed, offering a couple of local wines and Rockpool's own pilsner. And for dessert, dive into one of their decadent ice cream creations such as the Marsh-Cara-Mallow (salted caramel ice cream with hazelnut praline, burnt marshmallow and chocolate sauce) or The Bounty Hunter (vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate sauce, toasted coconut and crushed meringue). Don't act like you're not impressed.

After announcing a second Burger Project location in Parramatta in July, Perry revealed the details for not one, not two, but five additional restaurants, including three across the border in Melbourne. He's previously expressed his desire to have as many as 50 stores nationwide, and told Good Food that he's also looking overseas — earmarking New Zealand, Singapore and the United States as possible areas for expansion.

Burger Project MLC is now open at Shop 6.22, Lower Ground Floor, MLC Centre, Martin Place. Open seven days, 11am - 9pm.
