It's Back! Burger & Lobster Pop-Up at The Shanghai EDITION

The London-born, globally renowned Burger & Lobster is back at The Shanghai EDITION for a summer residency, slinging its legendary crustaceans and beefy behemoths from July 27 through September 26. 

About Burger & Lobster

Founded in 2011 as a whimsical Mayfair experiment, Burger & Lobster has since evolved into a cult-status empire, with outposts from New York to Singapore. 

And yet, for all its silver-tray service and premium ingredients, the vibe remains delightfully unfussy — a place where lobster rolls (via Canada) and USDA beef burgers are devoured with equal gusto, no white tablecloth pretension in sight.

Shanghai Tavern

Now, they’ve teamed up with Shanghai Tavern for a two-month takeover, aiming to shatter lobster roll sales records.

On The Menu

Burger & Lobster is known for The Originals, items that have been on the menu since day one: The Mayfair burger, Classic Lobster Roll, and Classic Whole Lobster, which are served with fries and salad.

The Originals

The Mayfair Burger (¥168) is a six-ounce (170g) beef patty is cooked to juicy medium, unless you insist otherwise. It gets the royal treatment with house pickles, crisp lettuce, tomato, and a house burger sauce that’s between tangy and creamy. 

Then there’s the Classic Lobster Roll (¥268). Chilled knuckle-and-claw meat gets a light toss in lemon mayo before being piled into a toasted brioche roll. The result? 

A sandwich that’s rich but not cloying, luxurious but unfussy. It comes with a side of their addictive garlic-lemon butter sauce.

The Classic Whole Lobster (¥588) is a flex in the best way possible. Served steamed to highlight its natural sweetness or grilled for a whisper of smokiness, it arrives with that same irresistible garlic-lemon butter. 

For those who refuse to choose, there are multiple combos available, too. The B&L Combo (¥396) offers the best of both worlds: a half lobster paired with the Mayfair burger, plus fries and salad. The Roll Combo (¥298) is another crowd-pleaser, bundling the lobster roll and burger into one glorious meal.

For the particularly ambitious — or for those who are just really, really hungry — the Combo For Two (¥888) is the move. A whole lobster, a Mayfair burger, and a lobster roll, plus fries and salad. It’s the kind of feast that demands a post-meal nap.

Seasonal Surprises

Honcho Burger

In addition to starters of wings and croquettes, B&L have a bunch of seasonal specials, including The Honcho Burger (¥158), a double smashed patty smothered in sautéed mushrooms, melted cheese, and a peppercorn-cream sauce. 

Red Hot Roll

Prefer your seafood with a kick? The Red Hot Roll (¥178) swaps the classic mayo for a mildy spicy and tangy sauce, stacking lobster and prawn meat with lettuce and onions in a soft roll. 

Spicy XO Butter Lobster Linguine

And then there’s the Spicy XO Butter Lobster Linguine (¥178), where plump lobster meat meets house-made XO sauce, chilies, and Japanese soy. It’s umami-rich, slightly spicy, and the kind of dish that makes you wonder why you don’t eat lobster pasta more often.

Wash it all down with the Tiramisu Martini (¥138), a boozy, creamy concoction of Baileys, Kahlúa, and vanilla that’s basically dessert in a glass.
