I took the Basque hamburger. The idea was good but the French, despite offering hamburgers…read moreeverywhere now, still do not understand that a key property of the hamburger is to be eatable with your hands! So, when you have big pieces of meat that cannot be cut with your teeth, the whole thing turns into a mess. You end up with big pieces of meat in your mouth that you try not to swallow whole (or throw up). You can't enjoy the combination of ingredients (foie gras, caramelized onions, duck, etc.) and finish the thing without really appreciating it.

The portions are big, so there is that. And the view is pretty good.
