I recently stopped in to Kverneriet to investigate why the local hype over this burger joint.
First off, this is definitely not a "joint". The ambiance is more like an upscale cocktail lounge that caters to from couples to families. And for those that happen to be a single, there is a rather cool bar where you can sit and chat up the expert cocktail makers.
Anyway, back to the main event. The Burgers!
My wife and I were on the hungry side, so we were eager to see if these burgers would satisfy our empty stomachs. And boy did they ever!
My wife went with the Unami Burger, this burger is a Japanese inspired creation. It's topped with a parmesan crisp, shitake mushrooms, chili mayo and onion chutney. My wife absolutely loved it. The flavors were perfectly balanced.
I went with the more classic style "Burgler". This burger comes with double slices of cheddar cheese, onion, tomato and lettuce along with a special sauce and ketchup. Your basic roadside diner burger that will satisfy any burger lover. I did add bacon, which added a nice salty component and it worked magic with the burger.
I will say this, the fries were just "ok". Not terrible, but not great. However the tater tots were amazing, super creative that come with a truffle mayo.
The drinks were awesome, and for those gin and tonic fans, there is an entire menu of g and t's that's super fun.
The service was very good, and nice to even see the bartender coming around making sure you well taken care. read more
