Royale: The Best New Burger in New York?

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 4, 2006 at 8:17 AM

New York Times writer Peter Meehan says he's found the best new burger in the Big Apple:

With the glut of big-name burger openings recently, and the spate that are promised this fall, it was a surprise to find that the city’s best new hamburger isn’t the handiwork of some fancypants chef. It was also surprising to see that the place serving it isn’t as much a restaurant as it is a bar, Royale, on Avenue C in the East Village....

If the dozens of Royales I sampled are an indication, they are broiled with remarkable accuracy. Medium-rare burgers came with the same first-rate broiler char that medium-well burgers had, and were moist and properly underdone within. The fatty patties fare well under the broiler: they have juiciness to spare.

Visited last weekend. Terrible service. I mean 20 minutes for drinks, 20 more for our order. But I guess that goes with any new restaurant. The burger was good. Not Shake Shack or Chicory, but solid. Great sesame bun. Tender and thick patty. And very well-done fries, which I was feeling. But to be honest, the NYT write-up was probably not deserved. But you have to throw the East Village a bone sometimes.

The Spotted Pig's burger is NYCs best.
