From burrata pizza to burrata salads, fresh burrata recipes and more. Here’s where to get this delicious cheese in ³Ô¹ÏÍø.

Vapiano’s burrata pizza 

What’s better than a thin crust, rich tomato sugo and premium prosciutto? When it comes served with a creamy burrata cherry on top. Vapiano on Flinders Lane and Bourke Street crowns one of their most popular pizzas with the soft, creamy cheese for your dining pleasure.

Lord Lygon’s burrata with fennel jam

Cheese and fruit: it’s an iconic duo as old as time. Watch the semi-soft delight fall away into a plate of caramelised fennel jam and tart balsamic at Lord Lygon. You can also find this perfect pairing on the menu at Nomad. Ask the staff what’s pouring from the lush wine list – we recommend pairing with a glass of pinot grigio.

Pascale’s burrata and tomato salad 

Slick city staycay spot QT ³Ô¹ÏÍø is known for its rooftop, but we can’t get enough of resident restaurant Pascale. The vibe is New Orleans French Quarter, but the menu leans European.
