To be completely honest, the burger at this restaurant reminded me of a glorified McDonald's burger. While there was nothing inherently wrong with it, I didn't find anything particularly special about it either. Burgers are my favorite food, so I may be a bit critical, but when I took a bite, it immediately reminded me of a McDonald's hamburger, with a fairly similar taste. After waiting for years to visit Bunsen based on the many positive reviews, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. The burger was just very basic and simple, which may appeal to some people, but I was unsure how they had built a successful restaurant chain around it. Nonetheless, I must give credit where it's due.
AMAZING! This is definitely one of the best smash burgers I have ever had! The menu is delightfully simple, fitting on a business card-sized menu. This allows for a focus on the high quality of the food and ingredients. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the double cheeseburger and shoestring fries, which were perfectly crispy and delicious. The burger had wonderfully crispy edges and a beefy flavor that tasted like premium quality beef.
Have been a few times and the burger never disappoints. I always get a cheeseburger cooked medium and it comes perfectly cooked. I usually get the shoestring fries but this time got the hand cut. Bunsen has no thrills or spills, it’s easygoing with a nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly and straight forward. No big menu, it’s a burger, chips and a drink. If you are a veggie this may not be the place for you. I’ll defo be back.
This restaurant is simply amazing. It serves the best cheeseburger I have had in the past 6 months of traveling around Europe. Anyone who claims that this isn't a good burger clearly doesn't know what they're talking about. The size of the burger is perfect, it is cooked to perfection, and the beef is delicious. The fries are also great. The cost is reasonable as well. Thank you for a fantastic meal!

Really tasty and simple burgers, and the business card-sized menu alleviates any choice anxiety. The shoestring fries weren't really shoestring fries, just normal french fry size. While the meat quality was excellent, mine wasn't cooked how I asked it (asked for medium and got well-done), although I've heard that they usually get it right.
A great burger place. A very simple menu, lots of atmosphere. It was busy, so we had to wait around 20 min before we received a text telling us that our table was ready. When asked, they wrapped our burgers in lettuce leaves rather than having a bun. The service was friendly and efficient. A nice meal out.
The simple menu fits onto a business card, but don't let a lack of choice fool you: these are hands down the best burgers in Belfast. Always busy, but easy enough to get a table , sometimes with a short wait that flies past as you grab a drink at one of the many bars in the area.
Food and service star! Genuinely the food would speak for itself but the fact that staff are still friendly and professional and overall just excellent adds to it. Absolutely brilliant

Arguably the best burger in N.Ireland. gorgeous flavour and so filling! Well worth a try, a very unassuming place
Amazing cheeseburger and fresh hand cut chips. And the best chocolate milkshake ever! So good.
