Burgers are among the ultimate comfort food that everyone can enjoy. They generally come in classic (fast food-type) burgers and gourmet burgers, where the latter’s major difference is that they use fresh and quality meat patties instead of frozen varieties. So, if you are looking for some recommendations, check out our selected list of 8 Best Gourmet Burger Spots in Singapore to Satisfy Your Cravings!
1) One Fattened Calf
One Fattened Calf or OFC doesn’t take shortcuts when it comes to their American-style gourmet burgers. That means everything here is made from scratch, namely their potato buns and signature sauce. They also insist on using New Zealand grass-fed beef and yes, they personally grind them into patties. First-timers might want to try their signature OFC Goldburger, which has an added topping of homemade pulled beef brisket that pairs well with onions and cheddar cheese.
Alternatively, there’s the OFC Butterburger consisting of savoury beefy goodness layered with thick slabs of grass-fed butter. No doubt an interesting substitute over the usual cheddar cheese. You can enjoy either of them a la carte or make it a combo, which comes with thick-cut OFC fries and any drink of your choice (their OFC Golden Lime Slushie would be a good pick).

2) Burger Frites
Burger Frites uses U.S. Angus beef that is sourced directly from the butchery and fire-grilled to juicy perfection. Try their classic, no-frills B.F. cheeseburger that comes with the usual toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles and cheddar cheese. You can also substitute the U.S. Angus beef with another patty of your choice including homemade fried chicken leg patty, breaded & fried Camembert cheese patty or plant-based beef patty from Beyond Meat. Their fries are just as good since they prepare them in-house using fresh potatoes and double-fry them for extra crispness.

3) Skirt & Dirt
This little hawker stall in Tiong Bahru Market is where you can get your hands on delicious gourmet burgers. And yes, at a reasonable price too. Among their must-tries has to be Skirt & Dirt’s signature Cheese Skirt Beef Burger — a combination of juicy beef rump and grilled cheese skirt topped with crispy lettuce and sliced tomato. You can also locate their second Skirt & Dirt outlet (Skirt & Dirt Signatures) at Bukit Timah Road.

4) Two Blur Guys
Don’t be fooled by their name thinking they are simply blurred when comes to burgers. Instead, their burgers have attracted a lot of satisfied customers. Their signature Pulled Pork Burger comes highly recommended, which includes savoury-sweet toppings like honey mustard and gruyere cheese. Then, there’s the TBG’s Signature Burger — a good ol’ classic cheeseburger layered with juicy prime beef, tomatoes, sweet relish & gruyere cheese. Each burger comes with side servings of fries and green salad.
Address: 387 Jalan Besar, Singapore 209002
5) BurgerLabo
BurgerLabo’s Basic Burger may sound generic but beyond the name, it’s pretty good stuff. At least according to Google reviews averaging at 4.3 out of 5-star rating. Expect a thick and juicy patty, where they use a combo of 100% grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef and Japan’s A4-grade Kuroge Washu beef. Toppings like American cheese to homemade shio kombu mayo-based sauce further add depths of flavours, all sandwiched in a nice, toasted bun. The burger comes with a side serving of shoestring truffle fries with grated Parmesan cheese.
Address: Block 41 Malan Road, Gillman Barracks, Singapore 109454
6) 25 Degrees Burgers & Liquor Bar
Fancy some authentic American-style gourmet burgers? You might want to check out 25 Degrees Burger & Liquor Bar, where the brand actually originated from Los Angeles’ Hollywood Roosevelt. They only use quality ingredients here and that includes imported beef from the U.S. and Australia. They have three types of beef burgers here, each of which comes with a juicy beef patty and assorted toppings, namely caramelised onions, roasted tomatoes and Mezzo Secco Jack. You can even customise your own burger including meat of your choice and default toppings like lettuce and tomatoes. And for a fraction of the price, you can add extra topping, cheese and sauce.
Address: 200 Middle Rd, Hotel G, Singapore
7) Three Buns @ Potato Head Singapore
