Shake Shack’s NEW Black Truffle Menu

We were kindly invited to Shake Shack UK in Cardiff to try out their new Black Truffle Menu.

Let’s discuss the food….The Black Truffle Burger is a nice creation, the combination of the Truffle Mayo and the crispy shallots is just right. The two together, complement each other and you get a Christmas feel when eating this burger. The rocket gives the burger a different taste, something very different to the commonly used lettuce.

Black Truffle Chick’n (served on lettuce due to dietary needs.) We can’t deny the Shake Shack bun is nice, but if you want to have a healthier meal or you have any food allergies then you can swap it for the lettuce. In our opinion with the lettuce, you can taste all of the ingredients a lot better. The crispy chicken is very nice on the palette, it is not overly crispy and the chicken breast is tender.

Black Truffle Fries. One of our favourite items from the Shake Shack menu have to be the fries. They are properly cooked fries, nicely seasoned and not oily, which can be off putting. If you like fries and now you add the truffle mayo. This is a no brainer.

The Chick’n Bites are great if you don’t want to have a big meal or if you go with kids. You can choose your sauce and then enjoy the crispiness of these bites.

The Strawberry Yuzu Lemonade is very refreshing and the Chocolate Milkshake is thick and creamy, as it should be.

For dessert we had scoops of vanilla custard with strawberry sauce on one and chocolate sauce on the other. They were sweet but light, making them not too filling so you don’t feel like you’ve had too much to eat.
