Milk Bun, a popular burger joint in Bristol, has rapidly gained fame since its establishment in 2021. Founded as a pop-up called the Bronx Burger Co., the restaurant is the brainchild of brothers Matthew and Tom Demichele, who previously managed a successful Italian eatery in Wiltshire. Specializing in high-end 30-day aged local beef burgers served in homemade milk buns, the establishment has drawn burger enthusiasts from near and far.
The restaurant’s standout feature is its light and fluffy milk buns, sprinkled with sesame seeds and possessing a slight sweetness reminiscent of brioche. The compact venue often experiences busy evenings, and patrons without reservations may find it challenging to secure a table. Additionally, Milk Bun caters to the home dining crowd through a steady stream of delivery drivers fulfilling orders.
The concise menu features delectable options such as the Bronx and the Chicken El Chapo, as well as enticing specials like the JFC and the smashed burger. The latter, introduced as a more affordable offering while maintaining top quality, enticed our writer with its delicious 30-day aged beef patties and generous American cheese topping. The side options, including house fries, Bronx fries, and tempura battered fried pickles, complement the main attractions.
