There are many types of burgers, but I picked the classic one as I think that it should be enough to fill up my stomach ><

The Classic burger is huge! Thickness of the beef was around an inch! When I bited into it, there was juice coming out from the beef! There was a strong flavor of beef which cannot be tasted in normal burger shops~! As I chose medium, the meat was still tender and juicy and once you started eating it, you couldn't stop!

Definitely this restaurant is a choice in Admiralty for both lunch and dinner.

8/10 plates emptied! 從外表看來，這家坐落金鐘和灣仔交界的高級漢堡包餐廳帶著淺黑藍的落地玻璃幕墻，熒紫的招牌，有種吸引著路人走進去一探究竟的神秘感和高尚感。從室內裝潢看，充滿重金屬感的設計也給人的視覺帶來一定的衝擊，把街頭藝術以大幅墻繪的方式展現人前，加上銀亮的椅子，墨黑的沙發，木質的地板和餐桌等等，都讓人有種既壓抑又刺激的期待——也許這就是「尚牛社會」在都市一角張狂地展現出來的魅力。Needless to say that Beef & Liberty has been one of most attracted burger places in Hong Kong, being featured by numerous food bloggers, foodie magazines and received fairly decent reviews.

從外表看來，這家坐落金鐘和灣仔交界的高級漢堡包餐廳帶著淺黑藍的落地玻璃幕墻，熒紫的招牌，有種吸引著路人走進去一探究竟的神秘感和高尚感。從室內裝潢看，充滿重金屬感的設計也給人的視覺帶來一定的衝擊，把街頭藝術以大幅墻繪的方式展現人前，加上銀亮的椅子，墨黑的沙發，木質的地板和餐桌等等，都讓人有種既壓抑又刺激的期待——也許這就是「尚牛社會」在都市一角張狂地展現出來的魅力。
Needless to say that Beef & Liberty has been one of most attracted burger places in Hong Kong, being featured by numerous food bloggers, foodie magazines and received fairly decent reviews. People compare B&L with Butcher’s Club – the Gang previously wrote a review on this and our personal gourmet favorite goes to Beef & Liberty. The one quality we are looking for at burger diners – CONSISTENCY. The dedication to quality & excellence is utterly crucial for one’s dining experience and for any other customer that is looking to replicate the experience every time when they crave for some good food. Beef & Liberty seems to have aced this so far compared to burger fans that have been visiting Butcher’s club not too far away from B&L.
這又是一間標榜使用澳洲黑安格斯牛肉做漢堡的餐廳，價錢方面就當然不便宜。他們的官網上有詳細的餐單可以給食客訂座前參考，挺全面的，因為包括了兒童套餐和素食漢堡，還有各種酒精飲品，所以這裡是很適合大群人派對和家庭聚會的地方。
我們一共嘗試了6款漢堡包。
Australian Angus beef premium quality was used for their meat patties so that is different from the aged beef technique that Butcher’s club use and supposedly, B&L patties should be juicier, here comes the verdict as we managed to try 6 of their very popular picks and dessert! The upbeat and modern decor with high ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows give you a spacious and layback ambience for a view near Admiralty and Wanchai, not really appealing for the inner street view but at least being near Star Street does make me feel classier.

Bacon Cheeseburger

Bacon Cheese Burger 煙肉芝士漢堡 (單價HKD118, 週一至四套餐價HKD148)
原材料有：新鮮牛肉patty、Ogleshield芝士、Wicks英式煙肉、煙肉醬、酸瓜和自製燒烤醬。Patty稍嫌火候過了，頗乾，Ogleshield芝士是一種英國芝士，它的製法和傳統的瑞士Raclette芝士雷同，易於融化，是做Grilled Cheese三明治的常用材料。溶化後包裹著整個patty，口感柔軟豐盈，但不是一款芝士味很濃烈的芝士。大塊的英式煙肉比一般的要厚上一倍不止，但不會很鹹，煙熏味也淡淡的，口感很結實，煙肉挺特別的，好吃！整體的感覺就是比較乾，儘管我們點的是medium-rare（3-4成熟）,芝士味也不夠濃。

Bacon Cheeseburger

Bacon Cheeseburger – beef/Olgeshield cheese/Wicks English bacon/bacon jam/pickles/house BBQ sauce (HKD118, Weekday Lunch set HKD148)
Personally loved this one as the extra thick slice of Wicks English bacon made the burger meaty, juicier and slightly sweeter with that bacon jam, complemented with the soft melted Olgeshield cheese. Olgeshield cheese is one type of traditional The patty could be juicer rather than relying on the bacon fat yet it was simply a delightful guilty meal to have for lunch.

Lamb Burger 羊肩肉漢堡 (單價HKD$103, 週一至四套餐價HKD$138)
原材料有：威爾斯(Welsh)羊肩肉、薄荷乳酪、酸瓜、小茴香(又稱“孜然”)、生菜和番茄。六款漢堡裡面這款是口感最乾硬的，有點可惜，因為羊肉patty的調味是很惹味的，因為有薄荷和小茴香的經典羊肉搭配在內。
Lamb Burger – welsh lamb/mint yoghurt/cumin/pickles/butter lettuce/tomato (HKD103, Weekday Lunch set HKD138)
Typically for lamb patties, extensive herbs and mint will be used to bring up the tone and seasoning instead of salt & pepper used for beef. Patty was dry out of all 6 burgers even though the seasoning of the mint and herbs was well-marinated as it highlighted the uniqueness of the lamb patty.

Black Pepper Burger

Black Pepper Burger 黑椒香濃漢堡 (單價HKD113, 週一至四套餐價HKD148)
原材料有：新鮮牛肉patty、新鮮胡椒碎、Ogleshield芝士、火箭菜和洋蔥醬。這個的patty濕潤度稍微好一些，切開後看得到粉紅的肉色。微量的辣味剛好在舌尖上徘徊一會則散去，連最不能吃辣的Lyoe也能吃得津津有味的——補充說明一下，如果辣度是1到10，Lyoe能忍受的辣度最多去到1.5~2。

Black Pepper Burger

Black Pepper Burger – beef/crushed peppercorns/ogleshield cheese/rocket/onion jam (HKD113, Weekday Lunch set HKD148)
This is exactly what we need at a gourmet burger eatery, when I order black pepper burger, I expect the beef patty to be well-seasoned with fresh black pepper and a slightly less stronger tone of sauce to give a variation apart from other burgers. The best part of B&L is that they add a bit of variation to their burgers menu so for the black pepper burger, they added rocket and onion jam to add that flavor complexity instead of regular lettuce and BBQ sauce which you can always get elsewhere. Lyoe munched away with this burger and enjoyed it so it was pretty decent as well!

Green Chilli Burger

Green Chili Burger青辣椒漢堡 (單價HKD103, 週一至四套餐價HKD138)
原材料有：新鮮牛肉patty、墨西哥青辣椒醬、完整青辣椒一枚、Ogleshield芝士和蛋黃醬。我們一致認為六個漢堡裡面這一個的patty是烤得最接近medium-rare的。我們用配備的牛扒刀切開，再上手一擠壓，就可以看到肉汁流出來。原隻的青辣椒也是不辣的，稍微烤過，所以上檯一刻可以清楚聞到強烈的青椒味。配上微辣微酸的蛋黃醬，確實不俗！
Green Chili Burger – beef/green pepper slices/jalapeno relish/Ogleshield cheese/butter lettuce/mayo (HKD103, Weekday Lunch set HKD138)
We were all surprised to see a whole grilled jalapeno served in the burger, it was mild spicy and was the juiciest beef patty out of all the burgers. When Gobay lightly squeezed the burger, juice was flowing from the patty! Even though the grilled green chili was not spicy but it gave rather strong pepper flavor that blended so well with the slightly acidic and hot mayo which made the burger utterly juicy and simply enjoyable.

Falafel Vegetarian Burger

Falafel Vegetarian Burger 法拉費素漢堡 (單價HKD86, 週一至四套餐價HKD128)
原材料有：素食豆泥、芝麻醬、生菜、番茄和哈里薩(Harissa)乳酪。Falafel本身就是一款中東特色小食，是油炸的鷹嘴豆或者蠶豆餅，通常和其他蔬菜還有香料混合成球狀來炸。這款漢堡也是我們的驚喜，炸得很酥脆，入口有很強的小茴香香味，哈里薩酸奶醬是一種黎巴嫩醬料，哈里薩是一種紅辣椒，這個醬甜酸辣而且帶點刺激，相當開胃。
Falafel Vegetarian Burger – falafel/sesame sauce/butter lettuce/tomato/harissa yogurt (HKD86, Weekday Lunch set HKD128)
I have to say that this was absolutely stunning for a veggie burger, B&L’s work is worth praising and the Gang did come back for me just for this outstanding veggie burger. Falafel being one of the most popular Middle East street snacks which is made from deep fried patties of chickpeas and fava beans mushed with herbs like cumin which is a member of the parsley family. The falafel patty was well-seasoned with the right refreshing herbs kick and moisturizing patty to go with the bun and sesame sauce.

Classic Burger 經典漢堡 (單價HKD$88, 週一至四套餐價HKD$128)
原材料有：新鮮牛肉patty、生菜、番茄和紅洋蔥。味道不錯，就是patty稍微乾了一點，不夠肉汁。這裡可以額外增加牛肉patty，每份HKD$58，配料則是每種HKD$15。
這裡有款配菜是番薯薯條，喜愛吃薯仔或番薯的朋友可以嘗試一下，很不錯的味道，加上香港餐廳很少用的英國Tiptree品牌的番茄醬，能吃到番茄茸和較濃的新鮮番茄味，而且不會太鹹，所以極力推介這裡的番茄醬。

Classic Burger – beef/butter lettuce/tomato/red onion (HKD88, Weekday Lunch set HKD128)
Liked how the burger was just simple, nicely put, beautiful. The construction of the burger was optimally well-put as the bun, beef, veggie was proportionally laid on the plate. Bun was soft and slightly buttered as you can apply compression and delightfully enjoy the whole composition in one bite without the sauce spilling over your fingers rather it is the meat juice that keeps you crave for more.

Wilkin & Sons Ketchup

Ketchup with Liberty Fries!
No way can you miss out their England-imported ketchup - Wilkin & Sons Tiptree, this demonstrates a very heartwarming and welcoming twist from the British owners of Beef & Liberty. The balance of natural sweetness of tomatoes and the acidic hint of wine vinegar is profoundly exquisite. Goes so well with their regular cut fries made from Russet potatoes, my fries were all gone by the time I thought about the calories.
Yam fries with Cajun Mayo
Oh my, Cajun! I was thrilled to see cajun majo as one of their specialty dipping sauce to go with "healthier" yam fries. We used to put cajun spice in our poultry, seafood, fries when we lived abroad in Canada yet it is very unlikely for you to see Asian restaurants here to use this heavily flavored spice which is a mixed combination of garlic, bay leaf, bell peppers, oregano, and chili pepper. I always have a liking for sweet-savory food such as salted caramel, sea salt chocolate, so yam fries with the seasoned cajun mayo was just simply irresistible. The only downfall is that the yam fries could be less dry but it is reasonable as sweet potatoes are starchy in texture to begin with so you just need to dip it off in some creamy mayo!

Warm Skillet Cookie & Cream

Warm Skillet Cookie & Cream (HKD58)
甜品方面我們叫了暖曲奇配奶油 (Warm Skillet Cookie & Cream) 和蘋果批伴法式奶蛋醬(Apple Pie with Crème Anglaise)，由於訂位是說明了是幫Lyoe慶生的，所以招呼我們的美女姐姐好貼心地在曲奇上插了一支蠟燭，還請我們吃那兩份曲奇！這是地道的美國美食，軟朱古力曲奇上倒上凍稀的淡奶油，這樣稍微中和了曲奇的甜度（當然還是太甜了），吃起來還是很有趣的，推薦嘗試。
Everyone just indulged themselves with some chunky, chewy chocolate chip cookie served in the heartwarming frying pan (skillet). Benefits of serving the cookie in a warm skillet kept the chocolate chip in a melting form and the cookie crunchy on the edges, this might be too sweet for some people. B&L offers a milky, slightly thin cream that you can pour on the cookie to balance off some of the sweetness and add a bit of moisture complexity to the dessert.

Apple Pie with Crème Anglaise
蘋果派就令人大跌眼鏡，這麼傳統美味的美國食品在這裡卻變成了油膩軟塌的代名詞。

Being the dessert of the day, the apple pie was an utter disappointment though as the apple pie with its crumbling presentation, oily, soggy and overly sugary apple filling. Crème Anglaise as a French light pouring custard made with egg yolk, sugar, and milk with a vanilla scent, it did tone down the sweetness but it did not live up to our expectations.
總的來說，這家高級漢堡餐廳還是值得再來的，無論用餐環境和食物新意還是大部分漢堡的味道都是很不錯的。
Undoubtedly, Beef & Liberty is worth acclaiming as the overall dining experience was very enjoyable - food, ambiance, price (more reasonably priced than Butcher's Club), service (offering free desserts for birthday surprises). As I am writing this review, it is time for me to pay our return visit as the Gang is craving for more. Going to try out their appetizers and other homemade sauces like mint yogurt and house BBQ for dipping next time!
Gobay food Knowledge corner:
今日同大家講下有關辣椒。
墨西哥的青辣椒Jalapeño：辣味次於Habañero，紅色或綠色，多數用來做醬料。
墨西哥的橙辣椒Habañero：這是世界上十大最辣的辣椒之一，採摘的時候都要帶上手套，而且接觸后必須洗手。它的體型比較小巧，多數顯鮮艷的橙橘色，香味欠缺，辣味卻非常持久。
亞洲的朝天椒(指天椒)：中國泰國非常出名，辣味非常持久而且迅速擴散，但比起上述墨西哥的三款辣椒，它還只是小朋友程度的辣椒。
韓國的青陽紅乾辣椒：辣椒的香味很強烈，而且含有礦物質較多，適合長時間儲存。
北非的紅辣椒醬Harissa：裡面有各種磨碎了的辣椒，包括墨西哥的青尖椒Serrano。
西班牙紅椒粉Paprika：屬於溫和的辣椒調料，和上述的不同，沒有強烈的辛辣感，多以香料粉的形式出現。

Going "classic" is always the way to go when trying out new burger places. I think simple fillings will let you focus on the main character more - the beef. The "Classic" choice was plainly with beef, butter lettuce, tomato and red onions. Beef & Liberty has its beef patty totally right! Just beef-y enough and the mmm ummm grilled-flavor. I ordered medium rare thinking that Hong Kong restaurants tend to overcook all their beef, yet this place took their temperature very seriously and literally,

Going "classic" is always the way to go when trying out new burger places. I think simple fillings will let you focus on the main character more - the beef.

The "Classic" choice was plainly with beef, butter lettuce, tomato and red onions. Beef & Liberty has its beef patty totally right! Just beef-y enough and the mmm ummm grilled-flavor. I ordered medium rare thinking that Hong Kong restaurants tend to overcook all their beef, yet this place took their temperature very seriously and literally, so I would do medium at the next visit. I would say I prefer B&L than the biggest/latest hit in town, The Butchers Club Burgers, because their patty was slightly too gamey for my taste (yes, I know, because they use serious dry-aged beef).

My family also shared the Rocket & Mandarin Orange Salad, Sweet Potato Fries [heavenly and addictive] and Apple Pie with Creme Anglaise [fairly large in portion]. They were all homey tasting and great, making me think that any items on the menu were worth trying.

I wanted to make a special mention on the service. All servers were real professional but retaining their chatty, casual attitude. It felt good to find servers that would chit chat a bit instead of just putting in your order and getting food to your table. It sounds like "duh, all restaurants should be like that" but it is rare in Hong Kong.

My mom ordered her burger also in medium rare and found that it too "pink". She thought she could take it but after a few bites, nehhh. We asked to re-cook it a bit further, nicely of course. The server gladly took it back and came back with a new burger awhile later!! And guess what, she took it off the bill!! Ok, PLEASE DON'T take advantage of this but this is the kind of service that keeps people coming back; that customer satisfaction is the key to any business success, even if I'm earning a few dollars less this time.
