MELBOURNE | Iconic Sydney burger, fried chicken, and natural wine joint Mary’s has opened in Melbourne, and it’s hitting all the right notes from the get go.
If you’ve been to the original in Newtown, you know what to expect. Hidden basement laneway location? Check. Dark (oh so dark), loud, and divey? Check. The space is spread over several levels, with a slight gothic feel. Lists of beer, cocktails, food and wine are scrawled in chalk on the walls. Grungy and fun.
The simplicity of the signature Mary’s Burger can’t be beat. A tender medium-rare patty with liquefied cheese, lettuce and tomato, and Mary’s secret sauce (house made mayo, mustard, ketchup, pickles, garlic and onion powder) inside a soft, brioche bun. Simple and brilliant, and served with fries. A plate of fried chicken for the table never goes astray, and there’s also sides like mash & gravy, and cauliflower. For non meat eaters, there’s a vegan equivalent of everything on the menu.
To drink it’s funky natural wines, with a focus young and upcoming producers, craft beers, and tasty cocktails.
And to top it all off, Mary’s is open until 1am every day of the week. I see many a late night Mary burger in my future.
