Pan Burger opened in 2022 fast becoming the go-to place for gourmet burgers in Phuket. The key to a satisfying burger begins with the patty, and at Pan Burger this includes three cuts of Khao Yai beef to ensure maximum juiciness, although the composition of the exact recipe remains a closely guarded secret. Then there is the bun, a cold-fermented brioche with a sourdough and yeast starter. There is often a misconception that a burger is just a burger, belying the highly technical process that goes into creating the perfect hamburger. And be assured, the search for perfection has been achieved here. Always on the menu are a stellar truffle cheeseburger, bacon and double-cheeseburger, and the my way cheeseburger, however, specials come and go and blue my way threatens to topple the best-sellers, and Gorgonzola with bacon and barbecue sauce is on par with the best. There are multiple options of chicken burgers using the finest free-range chicken, double-fried for extra crispiness, and coated in signature batter. The selection of accompaniments has significantly expanded with Caesar and burrata salads, whilst sides of jalapeno fries, truffle cheese fries, and a favourite of bacon, onion cheese fries are must accompaniments. Desserts, whether pancakes or French toast, are all prepared with meticulous attention to detail.
