If you're on the hunt for indulgent burgers with a unique twist, the Fat Hippo Shoreditch menu is a must-explore culinary experience. Nestled in the heart of East London, this burger joint combines creative flavour combinations with down-to-earth vibes, perfect for both casual lunches and night-out dinners.
What truly sets Fat Hippo apart is the diversity and boldness of its menu. Their signature burgers, like the “Hangover III” - a stacked beast featuring double beef, chorizo, egg, cheese, and Fat Hippo sauce - show off their flair for over-the-top decadence without compromising balance. For vegetarians and vegans, options like the “Plant-Based Candy Man” deliver on both texture and taste, something many burger spots fail to do convincingly.
During my visit, service was quick, friendly, and staff seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the food - a refreshing touch. The sides were equally impressive: the dirty fries, generously topped with cheese, bacon bits, and their spicy sauce, are not to be missed. Plus, their selection of local craft beers makes it easy to pair your meal perfectly.
Compared to competitors in the Shoreditch area, Fat Hippo wins in both price and portion. A full meal here feels satisfying without being overly pricey, making it a solid value-for-money spot in an increasingly expensive dining scene.
One limitation: it gets busy fast. Booking ahead is smart, especially on weekends.
In short, if bold, juicy burgers are your thing, the Fat Hippo Shoreditch menu at 5-9 Great Eastern St is well worth a visit. It’s a feast for burger lovers, offering something beyond the usual fare, with a creative twist that keeps you coming back.
