The concept of smash burger restaurants takes us back to the origins of the real American burger … and at The Wall Burger you can taste 9 different options, all of them mouth-watering.
If you’re a fan of the increasingly popular smash burgers, you ‘ ll know that there are a few places in Lisbon that make them to perfection.
The Wall Burger was one of the first places in Lisbon to focus on this American specialty: the typical pressed burgers that release that caramelized taste that has been a temptation in more and more streets in the city.
The story comes from Brazil
Created by two Brazilians, “fed up” with the gourmet fashion that is seen all over the city, the aim of The Wall Burger is to return to its origins and present a thinner burger (smash=pressed directly on the griddle), making meals lighter and, at the same time, delicious and satiating.
The Wall Burger opened in May 2021 on Rua Andrade Corvo, near Saldanha.
And no, The Wall Burger has nothing to do with the famous Pink Floyd album from the 1970s! Although on one of the walls of this burger joint there is a photo of the Berlin Wall, which refers to this period in world history.
Menu with 9 smash burgers
At The Wall Burger you’ll find nine menu options, all of them using the smash burger technique :
- The Cheese Burger (13€): with two smash burgers, Cheddar and the house mayonnaise (this is what we tried, and it’s really spectacular);
- The Cheese Salad (14€): also with two smash burgers, Cheddar, lettuce, tomato and homemade mayonnaise;
- The Bacon Salad (€16.50): with two smash burgers, Cheddar, bacon, lettuce and tomato;
- The Egg Bacon (17€): with two smash burgers, egg, Flemish cheese from the Azores, bacon and house mayonnaise;
- The Triple Burger (18€): with three smash burgers, Cheddar, bacon and house mayonnaise;
- The Triple Salad (19€): with three smash burgers, Cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato and house mayonnaise;
- The Veggie Burger (18€): with two mushroom-based smash burgers , Cheddar, bacon, iceberg lettuce, tomato and house special mayonnaise;
- The Onion Crispy (€16.50): with two smash burgers, Flemish cheese from the Azores, crispy onions, bacon and barbecue sauce;
- The Cheddar Max (19€): with two Premium beef smash burgers , Cheddar sauce and bacon
All these delicacies come on a brioche bun (which contains a secret ingredient) and can be accompanied by fries or Chicken Fingers.
As for drinks, they are the usual ones, such as cola, juice or other soft drinks, and our suggestion is that you try any of these burgers with a cold imperial.
For dessert, we recommend the famous sundaes, in chocolate, Oreo, red fruit or Ovomaltine flavors
Very nice place… and artistic
Located in a privileged area of the city, The Wall Burger’s first space is very friendly and comfortable.
Outside, a small enclosed terrace welcomes the colder days to come and, at the entrance, there is a machine where you can place your order and make your payment fully automatically, very much in the style of the order machines now installed in McDonald’s stores.
Inside you’ll find five different areas where you can enjoy your smash burgers.
Right at the entrance, on the left, there’s a table facing the mural by the artist Corleone (@akacorleone) with four tall old school chairs. It was our first choice to try one of these burgers.
This type of mural, painted by well-known Portuguese artists, will be a feature of future The Wall Burger stores. Who’s next?
On the opposite side, a small nook hides another table with three seats, where you can enjoy a smash burger in total privacy.
At the back you have the counter and, next to it, a slightly larger room where three different areas fit: the first is next to the wall with some of the best-known photographs of walls around the world, with a sofa that seats several; in one of the “greener” corners (with a wall covered in vegetables) is a small high table; and, in the center, a large table with high stools, undoubtedly one of the places most chosen by groups of friends or families.
In this area you’ll also find a small TV and, throughout the space, you’ll hear ambient music, which will accompany you on a real meal of American hamburgers. Enjoy and bon appetit!
