Bonarche Burgers – For Food's Sake – A Sydney Food Blog

Bianca: You may have heard my constant ramblings about my love for ‘Bonarche Burgers’ in previous posts. They do, what I believe to be, some of the best burgers in Sydney. Better than ‘Chur Burgers’ and I’ve been to Chur three times to make that comparison, so I don’t say it lightly. Nestled in the former prime time location of Norton Street, Leichhardt (the Parramatta Road end) is Bonarche Burgers, a rather unassuming little eatery. With rather small signage it would be easy to wander past on an everyday basis and not be aware of the splendour within. Where Chur Burger has hit the nail on the head is its fit out, a loud vibrant space with white walls, young staff and timber furniture. Had Bonarche taken this road, more people would be heading to Leichhardt for a burger. The thing is, the charm of Bonarche is it’s quaintness. It’s what set’s it apart from every other place in Sydney doing 10 buck burgers. The team behind Bonarche Burger are ‘The Chef and The Butcher’ – The Butcher being Roger Bond and the Chef being Tracey Archer with both working in various fields of the food industry and both having worked with the Australian meat juggernaut ‘Meat and Livestock Australia’ you know they have honed their craft to a tee.

Whenever I’m craving a Hamburger my first and general instinct is to head straight for Bonarche, hearty is the one word I would use if I were asked to describe their burgers.
