This restaurant is a dichotomy. Fast food created by a 2 star Michelin chef, that would appeal to…read morethe common man (or woman) but was designed for a discerning palette. I can not imagine many clients who frequent Michelin restaurants busing their own tables, but that is the sort of place we are discussing here.
The beef burger is 'dry aged beef'. Orders are placed with the cashier, who will not ask 'how would you like that cooked'. Instead, they are cooked medium rare, as any chef who knows his beef should do. The bread is said to be house made as are the sauces and cucumber (pickles). We ordered the 'Classic' burger (€12) and an adult beverage each with one side of fries to share.
I found this to be a very tasty burger. The pickle slices have a sweet and slightly tart flavor. The bbq sauce mild, the red onion also mild adding a slight crunch. The lettuce and tomato stayed put on a very tasty bun. A side of house made ketchup was included. I used this on my fries, not on my burger.
The fries are plentiful but are nothing special. They are served in a large box with a green salad. I find this combination of hot and cold foods in one container unexpected. The ketchup is sweet and added much to the fries. My first bite of salad was salty and spicy, but this seasoning must have been sprinkled on top, not mixed in the dressing, as it did not carry through the rest of the salad.
The building itself is unique with elements from around the world. Much thought has been put in to the venue. It seems however that there is something missing.
The burger was indeed good. The fries and salad are lacking. All in all, €43 for two adult beverages, two classic burgers and one side of fries seems excessive for a restaurant serving 'fast food' where you order at the counter, pick up when ready, and then bus your table. I like the 'self service' vibe. I just expect the fries and salad to match the quality of the burger for that kind of cash.
