In August 2024, the culinary masterminds behind Lisbon’s beloved O Gambuzino introduced a fresh addition to the city’s plant-based dining scene—O Gambuzino Burger Clube. This cosy burger joint is more than just a place to grab a quick bite; it’s a celebration of plant-based innovation, flavour and sustainability.

The menu showcases an exciting blend of old favourites and new creations. Signature burgers and drinks, previously rotating on the O Gambuzino menu, make a triumphant return alongside fresh offerings designed to delight. Among the highlights is the much-requested burrito bowl, making a comeback to satisfy fans of its vibrant, hearty flavours. The restaurant also debuts an array of inventive sides and a selection of sweets, rounding out a menu that caters to all cravings.

A unique burger experience

At the heart of O Gambuzino Burger Clube’s philosophy is a dedication to exploring the full potential of plants. Each burger is handcrafted with care, combining traditional culinary methods with modern techniques and a keen interest in fermentation. The result? Burgers that are not only distinct in taste but also entirely plant-based, sustainable, and cruelty-free.

Among the standout options, the Kimchi ‘KFC’ Burger has quickly become a best-seller. This innovative creation features crispy battered oyster mushrooms as its centrepiece, complemented by tangy, house-fermented kimchi. It’s layered with crunchy chayote slaw, fresh baby spinach and indulgent cheese sauce, all finished with a spicy kick of sriracha mayo. This burger perfectly balances texture and flavour, offering a unique and satisfying experience for adventurous eaters and comfort food lovers alike.

The team’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the plate. They prioritise sourcing local ingredients and incorporate rescued produce whenever possible. This approach not only minimises waste but also ensures that every bite supports both personal health and environmental well-being.
