Brie on a burger? Cranberry sauce with chicken? The Bird & Brie reads like a Christmas sandwich that wandered onto the Grill’d menu by mistake. Is the cheese actually melted or just sitting there cold? Does cranberry sauce even belong with chicken? And at A$20.50, is this the chicken burger worth ordering — or the one to skip?
The Grill’d Bird & Brie is a grilled RSPCA-certified chicken breast burger with melted brie cheese, cranberry sauce, cos lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion and herbed mayo. It costs A$20.50, carries 2210 kJ, and packs 45.3 g of protein. Full price, nutrition and honest review below.
What Is the Bird & Brie?
The Bird & Brie is Grill’d’s fancy chicken burger. While most of the chicken range goes for bold flavours — chilli, satay, smoky chipotle — this one goes creamy and sweet. Grilled chicken breast, a proper slice of brie, and cranberry sauce. It is the only burger on the Grill’d menu built around cheese this soft.
It sits in the Chicken Burgers range, priced at A$20.50 — the same as the Caesar’s Palace, and forty cents less than the ‘Simon Says’. It is a regular menu item, not a limited-time offer.
What’s Inside: Every Layer of the Bird & Brie
Here is the full build, top to bottom, and what each part actually does:
The chicken is grilled, not fried. That matters. This is not an HFC burger — there is no crispy coating, no extra virgin olive oil fry. Just a grilled breast, which keeps the whole thing lighter than it tastes.
Bird & Brie Price in Australia
The Bird & Brie costs A$20.50 at Grill’d stores across Australia. That price held steady across every current DoorDash store menu checked in October 2026, and it matches the price on our full Grill’d menu with prices page.
A few honest notes on price:
If you are comparing chicken burgers on price alone, the Sweet Chilli Chicken wins. If you want the premium-feeling one without going past twenty-one dollars, this is it.
Bird & Brie Nutrition: The Full Breakdown
Grill’d publishes the full nutrition panel for the Bird & Brie on their official menu — here it is for the standard burger on the traditional bun:
Nutrition | Amount |
Calories | 528 kcal |
Protein | 45.3 g |
Carbohydrates | 33.4 g |
Total fat | 24.4 g |
Energy | 2210 kJ |
Saturated Fat | 6.5 g |
Sugars | 11.1 g |
Sodium | 494 mg |
Grill’d’s own verdict on it: an excellent source of protein, a source of omega-3, and a good source of phosphorus, zinc and iodine. (Delivery apps round the energy up to 2250 kJ on their menus — same burger, slightly different figure.)
Two things stand out. First, the protein: 45.3 g is elite for a chicken burger at this price. That is more protein than most beef burgers on the menu. Second, the fat: brie plus two lots of herbed mayo keeps it at 24.4 g — not a light burger, whatever the grilled chicken suggests.
Does the Brie Actually Work?
This is the real question, so here is the straight answer: yes — and the cranberry sauce is why.
Brie on its own with chicken would be rich to the point of boring. But cranberry sauce does what it does on a Christmas plate: the sweet-tart hit cuts straight through the buttery cheese and the creamy mayo. The Spanish onion helps too, adding a sharp edge. What you get is a burger that tastes indulgent but never heavy-sweet.
Real customers back this up. One DoorDash reviewer put it simply: “The bird and brie was beautiful. Fresh bun and salad, heaps of cheese, juicy chicken. So yummy.” Another first-timer said it was “much better than BurgerFuel or Maccas” and great value for the price.
The one risk: if you hate sweet flavours in savoury food, the cranberry will bother you. There is no leaving it off the concept — without it, this is just a chicken and cheese burger. If sweet-savoury is not your thing, order the ‘Simon Says’ instead.
Bird & Brie vs Other Grill’d Chicken Burgers
Burger | Price | Energy | Pick it when you want… |
Bird & Brie | A$20.50 | 2210 kJ | Creamy, sweet-savoury, high protein |
Caesar’s Palace | A$20.50 | 2490 kJ | Bacon, egg and parmesan — the heavier classic |
Simon Says | A$20.90 | 2140 kJ | Bacon and avocado, no sweetness |
Sweet Chilli Chicken | A$17.90 | 2060 kJ | The budget pick with a chilli kick |
Zen Hen | A$18.50 | 2080 kJ | Satay and coriander (contains peanuts) |
The Bird & Brie is the highest-protein chicken burger of the bunch and the only one with a soft cheese. The Caesar’s Palace is its closest rival at the same price — pick the Caesar’s if you want savoury and filling, the Bird & Brie if you want something a little different.
Is the Bird & Brie Healthy?
Honest answer: it is one of the better burgers on the menu, but it is still a burger.
The good side is real. Grilled chicken breast, 45.3 g of protein, proper salad, and no fried coating. If you train and count protein, this burger earns its place — few chicken burgers anywhere give you 45 g for A$20.50.
The heavy side is real too. Brie is a full-fat cheese, the herbed mayo goes on twice, and cranberry sauce brings sugar. At around 528 calories, it is a full meal, not a light lunch.
Compared to the HFC Chipotle (574 kcal, fried coating), the Bird & Brie is the lighter choice. Compared to the Zen Hen (2080 kJ), it is the richer one. It lands exactly where it should: the indulgent end of the grilled range.
