Square Meal Review of Byron Kensington High Street ?

It’s said that dogs sometimes look like their owners, but it’s also true that restaurants can resemble their punters. Byron does shabby chic to a T – & thanks to scuffed-up reclaimed floors, exposed bricks & bare light fittings, its young boho crowd are almost part of the furniture. The menu has a similarly pared-back approach, homing in on a handful of simple dishes done well. With no starters – just nibbles of tortilla chips or olives – all eyes are on the mains. Pride of place goes to the humble burger, made daily from top-quality Scotch beef, cooked to perfection & sandwiched in a soft, floury bun; optional toppings are equally straight-talking – think dry-cure bacon, jalapeños, or Monterey Jack. If you’ve got room, add a Caesar salad, skinny fries or creamy macaroni cheese, then close with a decadent knickerbocker glory. Staff are youthful & bubbly.

    Very good service, food and dependability. Everything is possible, everything is fresh and most importantly everything tastes great. If only some more expensive restaurants in London could achieve this level of service. Well done!

    If you can stand the noise from the screaming kids and the head-thumping volume of music, then it's a great place to grab a burger… I have decided that a pair of ear plugs for my next visit will alleviate most of my problem. The chocolate milkshake is really good, perfectly thick and really creamy and delicious and I always have to have one before my meal. I go for the classic burger with bacon which is the perfect size for a hungry gal like me. My only gripe about the burger is that I hate buns that are dusted with flour! They give me the shivvers as I bite into them… That's obviously personal taste, but luckily peeling the flour-crusted top off the bun is very easy, so everyones happy! The Byron burger is another alternative and comes with a cheese and a thousand island sauce, kind of like a big mac, I guess. I would recommend sharing a portion of fries as it can become too much.

    I have never, to date, managed to make it to dessert, so I couldn't comment… But overall Byron is the best burger on the high street, beating the likes of Gourmet Burger Kitchen and all the other contenders hands down.
