About Velvet

Velvet is listed at 24 Cross Street in the Auckland CBD, and its website address, velvetburger.co.nz, points to Velvet Burger, an Auckland burger business.

A good burger place is built on a few things done well: a fresh patty cooked to order, a bun that holds together, and sauces and toppings that balance rather than overwhelm. Ask what the house burger is, and mention allergies or dietary needs when you order, as many places now offer vegetarian or gluten-free options. Regulars go a little before or after the lunch rush, since central Auckland eateries fill quickly with office workers at midday. Burgers are at their best eaten straight away, while the patty is hot and the bun still crisp, so takeaways are best eaten soon after collecting. Check opening hours in advance, as city-centre places often keep different times on weekends.

For workers and visitors in the Auckland CBD, Velvet on Cross Street is a central spot to look at for a burger.
