Overview
If you like burgers with all of the taste and none of the meat, then you probably got excited in late 2021 when Grill'd teamed up with Impossible Foods. The national fast food chain and the big name in meat alternatives paired up on a range of cruelty-free burgs, which are available at all Grill'd stores. But that was just the beginning of the two brands' collaboration — and of Grill'd's meat-free offering. Now, if you head into the burger joint's outposts in Crown Street in Sydney and Collingwood in Melbourne, you'll only find plant-based menus on offer.
The two stores have been completely converted into Impossibly Grill'd venues, which means that you won't find a trace of meat in any dish. Instead, diners will be able to eat their way through 23 plant-based burgers, including ten using Impossible's beef alternative, ten made with chicken-tasting Plantein, one that features a veggie pattie and three using Fable's mushroom meat.
Among those options, highlights span the Impossible crispy facon and cheese, which comes with an Impossible patty, facon, cheese, lettuce, onion and tomato; a chicken-tasting option with brie and cranberry sauce; and the Fable truffle, which pairs its shiitake mushroom meat with truffle mayo. Plus, there's a range of 'healthy fried chick'n' burgs, including smokey and jalapeño-laden varieties.
For sides, you can also tuck into Impossible loaded chips — or just sweet potato or zucchini chips — as well as 'healthy fried chick'n' bites. And, if you'd like to ditch the burger concept completely, there are two chick'n salads on the menu as well.
To match their new menu focus, the Crown Street and Collingwood stores now sport leafier interiors, too, and decor in shades of green and an earthy red.
Also, at all of the chain's locations, Grill'd is bringing its 'meat-free Mondays' deal for a limited time — so you can nab a free plant-based burger for every plant-based burger you buy on a Monday.
