Nestled in the vibrant streets of Sliema, Malta, burger restaurant Ichiban stands out as a heaven for burger enthusiasts seeking a culinary adventure. With an extensive menu featuring a plethora of unique burger options, Ichiban offers a delightful journey into the world of gourmet burgers. During our visit, we opted for the Cheesy Wagyu Burger and the Tamagi Wasabi Burger, each promising a fusion of flavors that left our taste buds yearning for more.
Ichiban’s allure lies not only in its diverse burger options, but also in its wallet-friendly prices. The menu, which includes a burger, fries, and a drink, ranges between €9.90 and €13.90, making it an accessible choice for both locals and visitors. The affordability, coupled with the variety of options, transforms Ichiban into a go-to spot for those craving a satisfying and delicious meal. Our culinary journey at Ichiban began with the Cheesy Wagyu Burger, a masterpiece that showcased the restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients. The succulent Wagyu beef, coupled with a generous layer of gooey melted cheese, created a symphony of flavors that left us in awe.
The Tamagi Wasabi Burger, on the other hand, introduced a delightful fusion of Japanese-inspired elements. The combination of tangy tamagoyaki and the subtle heat of wasabi elevated the burger experience, offering a unique twist that tantalized our taste buds.
For those who have specific preferences regarding the doneness of their burgers, it’s a bit disappointing that Ichiban doesn’t inquire about cooking preferences. While we anticipated our burgers to be medium-rare, they arrived well done. However, the outstanding taste of both the burgers and the accompanying fries overshadowed this minor hiccup. Ichiban’s commitment to customer satisfaction suggests that specifying your preferred doneness would likely result in a personalized culinary experience.
Ichiban may not be the largest restaurant, but its cozy interior exudes a welcoming ambiance that adds to the overall dining experience. For those who prefer outdoor seating, the availability of outside tables offers an opportunity to savor your burgers amidst the lively atmosphere of Sliema.
As a burger enthusiast, the experience at Ichiban left me yearning for more diverse burger options back home in the Netherlands. The array of unique burgers and sauces showcased at Ichiban highlighted the potential for a more expansive burger culture, providing inspiration for the evolution of burger joints in different parts of the world.
Ichiban is a burger lover’s paradise, offering a menu that caters to diverse pallets without breaking the bank. The Cheesy Wagyu and Tamagi Wasabi burgers exemplify the restaurant’s commitment to creating unique and flavorful combinations. With its cozy ambiance and the promise of a personalized culinary experience, Ichiban stands out as a must-visit destination for those seeking burger bliss in the heart of Malta.
