Review: Honest Burgers’ ooey-gooey camembert classic tastes like Christmas
Honest Burgers’ festive camembert burger is back and we visited one of their London restaurants to try it.
It's almost Christmas which means one thing at Honest Burger, their camembert burger is once again on the menu.
Having become a classic on the burger chain’s festive bill over the last decade, I must admit I’ve yet to try it. But even before I tried it I could tell it would win me over.
This Christmas Honest Burgers is inviting Londoners to try their camembert burger their own way as part of a special set menu.
Available at the chain until January 6, the deal allows diners to add deep fried camembert to a burger of their choice.
As part of the menu, city locals can choose between a beef, fried chicken, or Beyond Meat patty, which will be topped with deep-fried camembert, bacon, cranberry sauce, and rocket. The set meal also offers the choice of a side and a drink.
Those opting for the vegan Beyond Meat patty will still be able to have a cheesy burger with the addition of a 'Shamembert' instead.
I headed to the burger chain’s London Bridge restaurant as part of a Christmas day out with a friend so of course we had to try the Honest Burgers’ camembert offering.
I ordered the beef patty while she ordered the fried chicken version so we could cut them in half and try each burger creation. For side we both opted for Honest Burger’s iconic beef and bacon gravy for an added Christmas dinner touch.
Trying the beef side first, I was expecting it to have a more of a strong cheesy taste but surprisingly it was more subtle.
Having been deep fried, the crumb-coated camembert when bitten into is smooth and fudgey and oozes over the layers of the burger.
The camembert definitely added a decadent touch to the burger and its milder taste allowed you to really taste the other festive elements of the burger including the sweet cranberry sauce.
Of course it's taken to the next level with a dip of Honest Burgers’ beef and bacon gravy sauce.
Next on to the fried chicken version, there’s slightly more of a cheesy taste and the gooey camembert certainly pairs well with the crispy chicken.
But my friend and I both agreed, the chicken one just didn't hit the same as the beef one which just feels more Christmassy.
Available until January 6, you can try the camembert your way menu for yourself at Honest Burger restaurants across the capital or even order it on Uber Eats to enjoy at home.
