Burgers are Calling You! Amazing Burgers Every Day Of The Week
Enough of all the healthy salads, quinoas and heaping plates of Kale. Winter is coming, perhaps it’s time for some real food. The mornings are a bit colder, girls wear silk scarves, and leaves will soon pave your way to work. And the best way to adjust, in our humble opinion, is through burgers… burgers with melted cheese, bacon, onions, juicy meat, fluffy bread. And just for you, dear reader, we offer a deal for everyday of the week (although we recommend you spread them out a little bit).
MONDAY
Blue Frog
Never heard about the legendary Monday 1-1 burger deal at Blue Frog? It’s a favorite for western burger-lovers in the city. You need to buy a drink, which costs around 40 to 50 RMB. However you can pair it during their 5-8 Happy Hour for a buy-one-get-one. Fries are also a standout specialty at Blue Frog, so you won’t be disappointed in that department. This brand has expanded quite a lot over the years, and they now operate 15 branches in Shanghai, so you have no excuse not to go try it out. Drawbacks: Blue Frog prices are a little high, and the rest of their menu isn’t very remarkable (avoid their salads if you can).

Fat Cow
Fat cow is definitely the good compromise for a dinner date. They’ve got killer burgers and killer bowls of salad. Their Monday Buy 1 Get 1 deal goes with any drink between 5pm to 10pm. Their burger are huge, the bread is excellent, the meat also. The menu is also consistent, they have all kinds of burger possibilities and some of the chosen names may give you a smile.

Beef & Liberty
Another Monday Double-Double deal in town. However there’s no need to buy a drink. It’s also earlier than some of the others, beginning at 3pm and lasting until 10:30. Only classic American burgers offered here from 75 to 95 RMB. On the other hand, they also offer monthly special burgers which are a bit more adventurous. Beef and Liberty are well known around the city, and for good reason. Their burger know-how is based on lots of experience. Originally based in Hong Kong with four branches, they had their first opening in Shanghai a few years ago. As we all know how picky are Hongkongese with food, opening 4 branches there is pretty impressive. They’re also known for their ‘healthy burgers,’ using Hormone-free, grass-fed Tasmania beef. Last detail- they have a great roof terrace with decent music.
