Downtowner Cheongdam 다운타우너 청담점

A craft burger restaurant on Dosan-daero in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, consistently the first name that comes to mind when craving a burger in the Apgujeong Rodeo and Cheongdam area. The double cheese truffle burger balances a restrained truffle aroma with the thick patty's juiciness, and the bun stays firm rather than going soggy, keeping the whole combination clean. The shrimp burger ranks among the best of its kind, with the moist bun and coleslaw's nuttiness cutting through any greasiness. The avocado burger pairs creamy avocado with bacon for an impressive combination. Adding extra cheese to the classic double cheeseburger amplifies the flavor while staying true to the fundamentals. Cheese fries are the recommended side, as the cheese sauce is mild enough to complement rather than compete with the burger, and the onion rings maintain a thin, crispy batter. Soft drinks are refillable, and takeout quality holds up well. The New York-inspired casual interior welcomes pets, and weekend lunch turnover is fast enough to keep actual wait times short. The location near Dosan Park makes it a natural stop after a neighborhood stroll.
