I met an old friend at Bahnhof Enge today for some drinks after work, and we saw this place across…read morethe street with some nice outdoor seating and decided to give it a shot. This was my first time here.
At about 7:15 pm on Wednesday evening, the place was kind of empty. There were two tables occupied outside, and no one inside. Neither my friend nor I were particularly hungry, but we were curious what the burgers were like, so we decided to share a meal. The cashier had no problem giving us two cups and cutting the burger in half so we could share. :)
The burger itself was ok. Served on a whole-wheat bun, the meat was a bit lean and rarer than I'm used to. Kind of had a peppery taste that was ok, and the cheese was a bit strong (Schweizer Bergkaese), but a nice complement to the otherwise plain-ish burger. The tomato and lettuce were in there, but the taste and texture didn't really stand out for me.
The fries were pretty yummy, coated with what looked like Parmesan cheese and some herbs. The skins were left on the fries, which added to the texture and appearance.
We washed down our food with an Appenzell iisfee, a light, refreshing drink with a hint of green tea extract.
We hung out there for over 2 hours, and they never kicked us out, which was nice. More people kept coming in--some alone, others in pairs. The place was about 3/4 full at about 9:30 pm, so I guess it's a popular place for a late dinner on weeknights.
