Looking for something BIG to satisfy your burger cravings and reluctant to stuff yourself with McDs? Look no futher. Grill'd' healthy burgers are here to save you. At $9.90, you'll be expecting freshly baked bread sandwiching layers of goodies that include: preserved capsicum, chickpea pattie, lettuce and tomatoes. I'm not kidding when it comes to size. It is virtually impossible to take one complete bite unless you take the layers apart or try to compress the layers by force, that's why you see a "stabilizing" stick on the burger. Freshly cut potato chip sticks are to be ordered separately for $4.70 extra.

Location: Melbourne Central (Next to Hoyts Cinema)
Other locations: QV (opposite Max brenner), Lygon Street (diagonally opposite Brunetti's).

Also, their burgers are "made with love" and from only the highest quality, freshest ingredients.

I personally LOVE their Assam Laksa. I didn't really like the other fast food dishes (ranges from western-pasta to japanese-sushi to local delicacies-nasi lemak. They also have a bakery, but beware, some of the breads/cakes/food contains egg, but they are clearly specified in the menu.
