HACHE Gourmet Burgers - Burgers


Apparently there is another joint in London http://www.hacheburgers.com/ and this is from Denmark http://www.hache.dk/

 

You definitely have to make a booking as you are most likely to be turn away if you show up at their busy hours. Even with reservation, we are only allow a certain time. Ask the front desk to help you make the reservation.

Price of burgers ranges from 95 KR and the sides will have to be order separately that comes with choice of dips.
The burgers is really good and a good size for a hungry Asian. The bread is soft and rich with sesame. The patty are juicy and not oily.
According to the waitress the most popular burger is Bacon and Cheese, but I ordered the HACHE special that comes with mushroom. Special recommendation of Pulled pork burger from the captain. I will recommend the onion rings but the portion was bit small in size.

It has the typical setting of a burger joint, nothing fanciful. Its definitely not a cheap place to dine but if you craving for a good burger and beer its worth considering.
