Real Gourmet Burger to close

Posted by: jean in: Recession

One of Ireland’s first gourmet burger chains will shortly be going out of business.  Real Gourmet Burger had large shops in Dun Laoghaire and Ballsbridge in Dublin, and it’s a shame to see yet another Irish business close down.  The gourmet burger model has often been debated here, with many people being violently against the idea of paying over a tenner for a burger, or the idea of paying extra for chips.  What do you think – are you still willing to pay that bit extra for a fancy burger?

We reviewed Real Gourmet Burger back in June of last year.

Very depressing, as this was one of the few nicer burger places, and was very family friendly. Will be missed.

That’s a shame because I’ve always really enjoyed Real anytime I went……hoooowever, it was very very hard to justify those prices, especially when other burger joints were dropping theirs.

Ive never been to Real Gourmet Burger but yes, I am willing to pay a bit extra for a really good char grilled venison burger dripping with onions, rocket and swiss cheese….excuse me, I drifted off there.

Is there going to be an entry about this ITICA? The new, #much needed chipper association.

  • Sinead: If you're anti-Nestle and into saving a few quid, there's a new Irish site selling Nespresso compatible pods for around 15% less. I've tried them and
  • SJ: I second the "Just off Francis" recommendation. Lovely little place!
