The Gidley – Sydney
The Gidley is one of Sydney’s leading steak restaurants and its burger has long since earned a cult status of its own. Made from a blend of premium Australian beef cuts, the patty is seared to maximise flavour and served with melted cheese, pickles and a perfectly toasted bun. The composition is both elegant and hearty – a burger that honours its steakhouse pedigree while delivering comfort and indulgence in every bite.
The Experience
Hidden beneath Hunter Street, The Gidley offers an old-world style dining room (one of the most beautiful restaurants in the ranking) that combines the intimacy of a supper club with the confidence of a modern chophouse. Service is polished and attentive, yet relaxed enough to make the burger just as enjoyable at the bar with a cocktail as within the framework of a full dining experience. The atmosphere is dimly lit, lively and full of character – lending even the simplest order a sense of occasion.
The Verdict
The Gidley proves that a burger can not only hold its own on the menu of a top steakhouse, but also serve as the perfect complement. With premium beef, precise execution and the backdrop of one of Sydney’s most distinctive dining rooms, it offers a burger experience as memorable as the restaurant itself.
