Food Review: Lusso

It was that online review saying that Lusso boasts of having the metro’s best burger. The place is a little hard to find since we couldn’t see a sign outside. We found it though after asking help from one of the security guards.

It’s located at the end of the ground floor of Greenbelt 5, across Ayala Museum.

We started our meal with their Lobster Bisque. It was a thick sauce that had the authentic taste of Lobster. This was topped with a ravioli that helped balance the rich lobster taste.

This was the followed by the Lamb Salad. The veggies was fresh and crisp, balanced by the melt-in-your-mouth richness of the lamb and the chewy, toasted lamb fat. The acidity of the vinaigrette dressing helped even out the flavors of the greens and meat.

Finally, the main event… The Lusso Demi Pound Burger. It was a thick beef patty with a foie gras center, topped with caramelized onions in a crunchy bun. After biting into the thick beef, you get to the foie gras center that just bursts in your mouth! The crunchy bun helped add texture to the tender beef and melt in your mouth foie gras. Topping your bite with the side of cambozola adds another salty, creamy dimension to the experience. And don’t forget about the perfectly crisped fries to complete the meal.

Behold… The Demi Pound Burger…

And to finish an excellent meal, the pecorino cheese cake. This admittedly though is an acquired taste. If you like cheese and like sweet- salty food, this is perfect for you. The saltiness of the pecorino cheese in perfect harmony with that bit of sweetness.

Overall, an awesome dining experience with a classy ambiance, great food, excellent service, and reasonable price.
