Andrew’s Burgers
Definitely the place to go if you’re craving an old-school Australian cheeseburger. This Australian restaurant, sitting in Albert Park has been selling huge burgers for almost 70 years now. Andrew’s surely likes to tell their customers to use both their hands if they really want the juicy experience that comes with it. Each burger comes with the onions cooked, the bread buns carefully toasted, a crunchy lettuce and a fried egg properly cooked throughout. The burgers come with a mouthwatering stack of beef with a cooked onion that maintains the juiciness of the freshly made burger. With add-ons of double cheese, bacon and tomato ketchup, Andrew’s surely deserves our salute.
The Point
The restaurant surely attracts customers because of the steaks it produces and makes them order dessert so they can enjoy the beautiful view that comes. The restaurant is split into two, with both a café/ bar area downstairs and an elegant and formal dining room upstairs. Whether you stay up or down, you will most certainly enjoy one of the best breathtaking views of Melbourne. The drinks definitely do not come in cheap with an average of $50 per person. There is a list of wines available laid out by ex-Ezard, Jane Semple, which ensures that you will definitely find something good to wash yourself down with.
