Canberrans know where to get a good burger - and now the rest of the country does, too.
Grease Monkey's Greasy Burger has taken out the top spot in Deliveroo's annual top trending report, helping Canberra steal the crown from last year's winner, Sydney.
The win comes just a few days after the Canberra favourite opened its new Woden store.
The meal delivery report details the most ordered dishes in the country.
"We're ecstatic to have taken out the number one spot on Deliveroo's list of top trending dishes for 2021," Grease Monkey's Nick Tuckwell says.
"The past few years have been tough for local restaurants like us and we've relied on the support of Deliveroo to help us do what we do best - feed the hungry people of Canberra, and its visitors, with our mouth-watering dishes."
A deeper dive into the trends revealed some things never change; Aussies love burgers.
More than one third (36 per cent) of the top 30 dishes ordered via Deliveroo were burgers, a pattern that has repeated itself for the past two years (2019 and 2020). Other cuisines topping the list of choice include Mexican, pizza and fried chicken.

While Grease Monkey was the only ACT restaurant to make the top 30 list, Zambrero - which began in Canberra in 2005 - made the top 10 for its burritos under a national category.
"Grease Monkey is a cult classic, so we're really pleased that they've won the top spot this year, crowning Canberra as the foodie capital in the land down under," Deliveroo commercial director Jodi Ingham said.
