I've eaten quite a lot of burgers and this is honestly one of the best you can find for a fair price.

I got the Blame Canada burger as recommended by others and it was phenomenal. My first impressions were the burger doesn't fall apart easily, I was able to devour the whole thing without anything slipping out. The meat patty was incredibly juicy and flavorful, I also liked the bacon which provided a crunchy texture and a sweet maple taste. The best part was the sauce, its maple based and complimented the burger well, a sweet and savoury taste that I can only recommend others to enjoy for themselves.

If you ever found yourself in Sydney, why not give it a try, it's location is pretty central and close to the major attractions.

The burgers at Bar Luca are delicious! I ordered the BL burger ($18) with a side of fries ($4) while my friend had the Blame Canada ($20) with fries. The bun was soft and melt- in-your- mouth. The lettuce and tomato in my burger were good quality and fresh. We both commented on how good the patty was. It was very tasty and juicy. It had a nice charred flavour and texture to it as well. We both really liked the sauce on our burgers.

Service was excellent, too. All staff we came into contact with were really friendly, helpful, and courteous. They were accommodating to requests. There is a semi open kitchen adjacent to the bar. It is reasonably small in size. It was very busy yet all the staff were smiling. Everyone was working very hard. We were given a warm greeting upon arrival and when we were leaving.

The bar gets really busy. I would recommend booking in advance.

The best burger of all-time- order the Mr. T-Ruffle! It was so good we orders the same thing the next day- to go- and ate it in the car ride home!
The service is top-notch and your food is ready without a wait time. The atmosphere is casual and chill- a place you could stop by for drinks or to eat.

Every time I come to Sydney, whether it's for business or pleasure,  I always make an effort to come here with a friend to enjoy the best burger i've ever had.  I wish we had one of these stores in Melbourne.  Well I had the Mr Truffle with an extra beef patty.  It went down very well and I even thought of having another one. A couple of friends grabbed the weekly burger special. My colleagues enjoyed their burgers as well.  Instead of having another burger, I decided on a milkshake with a dash of vodka.  It went down beautifully. Look forward to my next visit too Sydney.
