Not every table wants pasta. Sometimes one of you is set on a pizza, another wants the lamb cutlets, and someone else just wants a really good burger. That's why the Fiena burger sits on our main menu next to the saltimbocca and the pollo alla Milanese. Fiena is our family-run Italian cafe, bar and restaurant at 4 Medway Court, Judd Street, London WC1H 9QX, a few minutes' walk from King's Cross.
What's in it
- Smashed beef patties. Smashing a patty thin onto a hot surface is what gives a smash burger its crisp, browned edges.
- American cheese, melted over the patties.
- Gherkins and caramelised onions, sharp and sweet.
- Our homemade sauce.
- Chips on the side.
David's review is about the quality of the meat at Fiena in general, and it fits here: you can feel that the meat is fresh and of high standard. It is worth every pound I spent.

Sides worth adding
The burger comes with chips, but if you're sharing, a couple of extra sides go a long way. Try zucchini fritte, rocket and parmesan, a mixed salad or tenderstem broccoli. For a starter to split, our garlic bread with cheese or the arancini are easy wins.
A pint with it
A burger needs a beer. Our drinks menu has Draft Moretti by the pint, Peroni, London Pride ale and Magners cider, plus Peroni 0% if you're not drinking. James, who knows his beer, wrote after a Friday dinner here that he enjoyed the excellent fresh beer
(James S., Google review) and added: I used to run a real ale pub so I'm a bit of a stickler for a good pint.

Leave room for dessert
If you've still got space, the dessert menu has a chocolate brownie, tiramisu, cheesecake and gelato. An affogato, vanilla gelato with a shot of espresso poured over, is a lighter way to finish.
