Three Grill’d wagyu burgers sit at the exact same price, so why does the Grill’d Grand Brie swap the usual cheddar and pickles for brie and a berry glaze? Does fruit on a beef burger actually work, or is it just a gimmick? How many calories are you really signing up for? And who should pick this one over the Wagyu Wunder or the Bonfire BBQ?
The Grill’d Grand Brie costs $18.90. It stacks a premium Wagyu beef patty with melted brie, cos lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion, a sweet berry glaze and herbed mayo in a toasted bun. It carries 2,910 kJ (about 696 calories), sits in Grill’d’s Specialty Wagyu range, and contains gluten, sesame, milk and egg.
What’s Inside the Grand Brie?
Forget the standard cheeseburger build. This one borrows its idea from a cheese board: rich beef, soft cheese and something fruity on top. Here is every layer:
Two things stand out. First, this is the only one of the three wagyu burgers that comes with salad. The Wunder and the Bonfire skip lettuce and tomato completely. Second, there is no bacon, no pickles and no mustard here. The flavour job that pickles do in the Wunder — cutting the fat — is done by the berry glaze instead. You can see where it sits in the range on our full Grill’d menu with prices page.
What Does the Grand Brie Taste Like?
This is the gentle one of the wagyu range. Wagyu brings the richness first: juicy, beefy and fatty in a good way. The brie melts into it and turns every bite creamy rather than sharp. Brie is a mild cheese, so it smooths the burger out instead of fighting the beef.
Then the berry glaze lands. It is sweet with a slight tart edge, and it does the same work a cranberry sauce does next to roast meat. It stops the wagyu and cheese from feeling heavy. The herbed mayo adds a savoury base, and the cos, tomato and onion keep the whole thing fresh instead of rich and flat.
There is no smoke here, and no tangy pickle punch. If you want bold, the other two wagyu burgers shout louder. If you already like brie on a burger, the chicken version of this idea is the Bird & Brie, which pairs brie with chicken instead of wagyu.
Grand Brie Nutrition
Grill’d publishes a full nutrition panel for this burger on its own website. These are the official figures for the standard build on a panini bun, per serve:
Nutrient | Per Burger |
Energy | 2,910 kJ (696 kcal) |
Protein | 38.1 g |
Carbohydrate | 36 g |
Total fat | 45.6 g |
Saturated fat | 14.8 g |
Sugars | 10.8 g |
Dietary fibre | 7.8 g |
Sodium | 589 mg |
That makes the Grand Brie the lightest of the three wagyu burgers on energy. The Wagyu Wunder sits at 2,980 kJ and the Bonfire BBQ at 3,100 kJ. The gap is small, but the Brie gets there without bacon.
One honest note: these figures are Grill’d’s own published panel for the panini build. If you order the traditional bun instead, the numbers may differ slightly.
Grand Brie Price: Is It Worth $18.90?
$18.90 is Grill’d’s top burger tier. All three Specialty Wagyu burgers share it. Loaded classic beef burgers like the Big Queenslander and The Almighty cost A$1 less at A$21.90.
So the extra dollar buys you two things: the wagyu patty, and brie instead of standard cheese. Whether that is worth it depends on which part you care about. If you just want a big, filling beef burger, the cheaper classics do that job. If you want the richer wagyu flavour with a softer, creamier finish, this is the one built for you.
Prices can change, so it is worth a quick check of Grill’d’s own menu before you order.

Pros and Cons
Pros
Cons
Who Should Try It, and Who Should Skip It
Try it if you like cheese-board flavours: soft cheese, something fruity, rich meat. Try it if the other wagyu burgers sound too sharp, too smoky or too heavy. It also suits anyone who wants the wagyu experience without bacon.
Skip it if you want a classic cheeseburger taste — the Wunder does that better. Skip it if sweetness on beef puts you off. And skip the standard build if you are avoiding gluten, sesame, milk or egg, unless a bun swap fixes your specific issue below.
Allergens and Dietary Notes
Grill’d’s official allergen matrix (National, version 13) flags the standard build like this:
The wagyu patty and the berry glaze carry no flagged allergens in the matrix. Buns can be swapped, but swaps change the list: the panini bun still contains wheat, and the Low Carb SuperBun contains egg and almond, so it adds a tree nut. Always check the current matrix in store if allergies are serious.
The burger itself has no pork or bacon. Grill’d restaurants are not halal certified, though, so read our guide on whether Grill’d is halal before deciding.
Grand Brie FAQs
It costs $18.90, the same as the other two Specialty Wagyu burgers, the Wagyu Wunder and the Bonfire BBQ.
It has 2,910 kJ, which works out to about 696 calories. That makes it the lightest of Grill’d’s three wagyu burgers.
A premium Wagyu beef patty, brie cheese, cos lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion, berry glaze and herbed mayo in a toasted bun.
The burger has no pork or bacon in it, but Grill’d is not halal certified and its kitchens handle many non-halal items. It is your call based on your own standards.
Not as served. The standard bun contains wheat (gluten) and sesame. Grill’d offers bun swaps, but check the allergen matrix and ask in store, as kitchens handle gluten all day.
Pick the Grand Brie for creamy and slightly sweet. Pick the Wunder for a classic, tangy cheeseburger flavour with pickles and cheddar. Same price, same wagyu patty — it is purely a flavour choice.
