FRESHNESS BURGER フレッシュネスバーガー 日本橋明治座前

It's somewhat like a chain burger shop similar to Mos Burger. The decor of the place is very retro American. They start serving in the morning, so when you want breakfast in Tokyo, this burger shop is the place to go.

In addition to beef and chicken burgers, they have a unique offering of "plant-based meat burgers," which seems to be less common in Taiwan. I had already tried their fried chicken burger before, and it was quite good. So this time, I decided to try their avocado plant-based meat burger.

🍔 Avocado Plant-Based Meat Burger ¥650

This flavor is the most expensive among all the burgers. The other burgers only cost around ¥400-500. But I must say, the plant-based meat is cooked very well. It has the texture of hamburger meat without the greasy feeling that comes from animal meat. It's very refreshing. Meat lovers might find it lacking in flavor and not satisfying enough, but I personally really enjoy this fresh taste. Plus, it comes with half an avocado 🥑, making the whole combination light and delicious. The burger bun itself is nothing special, but the plant-based meat part definitely scores high.

👉 For an additional ¥490, you can get a set meal, which includes a choice of chicken nuggets, a small salad, or regular fries, along with a drink.

I thought I wouldn’t want fried food for breakfast, so I opted for the small salad. It turned out to be a very bad decision. Their small salad was super unappetizing, made entirely of very bitter cabbage shreds, and it was just a tiny bowl with no other vegetables. The salad dressing tasted like sour yogurt, resembling a bad sour sauce. My friend and I both disliked it, so this part really took away from the experience.

For the drink, I chose iced American coffee. It was neither good nor bad, but iced is always nice!

The environment and service were both quite good. The staff noticed we were foreigners and proactively turned the menu over for us to see the English version (the prices were the same as those on the Japanese menu, which is great).

There were also some people using laptops, and it seemed like some seats were equipped with power outlets.

This burger shop that opens in the morning is a nice option if you want a simple burger for a meal. Just remember to avoid ordering the salad!📌
