Overview
The Squish Burger — a cheeseburger flattened with an iron fish press — has been making headlines (and Instagram posts) at Bondi Beach Public Bar since 2017. Now, Executive Chef Monty Koludrovic (Icebergs, The Dolphin) is moving the famed lunch item east, and adding heaps of truffle into the mix.
The compact burger is heading to The Dolphin's venue-within-a-venue, Scout Sydney. The world-famous London cocktail bar made its way Down Under back in February, with founder Matt Whiley bringing his highly unusual, hyperlocal cocktails with him.
Now, Koludrovic is giving us even more to love about the bar by recreating a truffled version of the BBPB Squish. While the Bondi version had two patties, the Surry Hills version has one and comes with truffled cheese, truffled burger sauce and Polish-style pickles for $28 all up.
It's joined by another brand new dish, too — a $16 Chicago-style deep dish pizza, topped with tomato, garlic and fresh mozzarella (with additional prosciutto for $4).
Alongside the new eats by Koludrovic, Whiley is turning out his usual high quality of seasonal cocktails. At the moment, those include the Cameflage (vodka, clarified cow and camel milk, pet nat caramel and yuzu) and the Human Race (Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz gin, wax leaf, mango and passionfruit mead and tonka).
Yup, pairing them together is sounding like one very tasty combo.
Scout Sydney is located on the top floor of The Dolphin Hotel at 412 Crown Street, Surry Hills. The new menu items are now available to order.
