The best burgers in Soho

With locations all over London, Patty & Bun is a go-to London spot for satisfying burger cravings that no other place can match. Their burgers are made with top-quality beef from H.G. Walter, a respected family butcher sourcing meat from small British farms, and paired with premium cheese from Neal's Yard Dairy. The menu at the popular Soho burger restaurant offers a variety of options, including classic beef burgers, a halal selection, and plant-based choices.

Founded by Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton, Neat is an award-winning plant-based restaurant group serving sustainable and allergen-free fast food with a bold, retro-inspired style.

With compostable cutlery, biodegradable packaging, and a vibrant Soho location, Neat offers a delicious, guilt-free dining experience for all.

Supernova keeps things simple, with just two different burgers to choose from, plus hand-cut fries and a sundae, all served in a minimalist takeaway setting. Despite – or perhaps because of – the simplicity, this Soho burger joint has taken off on social media, with punters lining up out the doors to try a Supernova smash burger, phones at the ready. If you're looking for the trendiest burger in Soho, this is definitely the place.

Yes, it's a burger chain, and yes, it's hardly exclusive to Soho – or London, or even the UK, for that matter. But there's a reason Five Guys has set up shop all over the world and you'd be surprised how many local restaurateurs rate it top of the food chain when it comes to London burgers – we're even talking Michelin-starred chefs here. Five Guys consistently delivers tasty burgers with a side order of speed and convenience.

Honest Burgers follow an Honest Farming ethos, focusing on sustainable farming, quality produce, and transparent ingredient sourcing.

They also offer unique monthly and location-specific specials, such as the Brewer St burger with beef, Lincolnshire Poacher cheese, crispy onions, teriyaki sauce, garlic mayo, and pickled slaw.

Another international burger chain that justifies its inclusion with juicy, made-to-order 100% Angus beef burgers, crispy fries, and indulgent milkshakes. The Shake Shack menu also includes veggie and chicken options, and its restaurants are modern and welcoming restaurants. The Leicester Square branch is open until late for all your post-club burger needs, and all the Shake Shacks welcome dogs, even offering a dedicated “Woof Menu”.

As the name suggests, Burger & Beyond Soho goes beyond classic burger offerings by taking inspiration from global flavours, from New York to Berlin. Menu highlights include bacon butter burgers, bone marrow gravy fries, and indulgent boozy ice cream shakes. For those with a sweet tooth, biscoff brownies or a sundae provide the perfect finishing touch.

Truffle Burger takes the classic burger to the next level with rich, indulgent truffle oil. The menu is simple yet elevated, featuring options like a classic cheeseburger, a twice-coated buttermilk chicken burger with truffle honey and whipped goat's cheese, and a veggie burger with a Beyond Meat patty. Perfect for truffle lovers, every bite at this Soho burger joint is packed with bold, luxurious flavour.

Originally from Paris, Junk is part of London's growing smash burger scene, making its UK debut in Soho. The burgers here differ mainly according to size rather than fillings, ranging from a cautious double-patty M to a hefty XXL stack with no fewer than five smashed patties. The menu also features a selection of sides and desserts, offering a fully loaded junk food experience.

Pho & Bun is a top spot for authentic Vietnamese street food in the heart of the city, served in a stylish setting with exposed bricks and wall art. In addition to traditional Vietnamese delicacies like a rich pho broth or various noodle dishes, the Soho restaurant offers an innovative take on burgers. Made with a steamed bao bun instead of the classic bread bun, these signature burgers come with a variety of fillings encased in a soft, pillowy bun.
