Mega Burger @ Brasserie Curé, BBT chaud Concept

Hello burger lovers,

I am back with a brand new review. This time me and my buddy J. went to the Brasserie Curé, BBT chaud Concept in the city centre. BBT has now 5 restaurants in Luxembourg, mainly in the south. Their slogan: Le concept qui monte, qui monte, qui... the concept that rises, that rises...

As we walked in the Brasserie, we were greeted by their friendly staff who seemed to be familiar with my burger rating project, awkward moment...

Anyway, we ordered the Mega Burger, obviously their top notch burger on the menu. For 11,50€ you'll get a triple layer burger with cheese, homemade sauce and additional fries. There were other burgers on the menu too.

Evaluation:

We got our burgers quite fast, which is good but normal in this case since the place was nearly empty. Optically the burger was a sheer disappointment. It didn't look like a burger. The top bun was replaced by an egg sunny side up, the fries and salad were on the same plate which did not leave a good impression. The bun was more a Kebab bread than a bun. It was defrosted bread, I could see the white spots from freezer burn. In addition to the very bad bread, the meat was horrible as well. I honestly have no idea what meat they were using, a huge let down. It had a bad taste and was dry as hell, it didn't seem to be fresh. The taste and freshness of the lettuce and tomato, and the fries (thin and crisp) were the only things that saved this burger from getting the lowest possible rating. The cheese and homemade sauce had no particular taste to remember.

I can’t tell you how disappointing it is to have a bad burger and this was one of those experiences. I will not recommend BBT chaud and will not go back there again. This is yet another favorite place of some of my readers which failed my test.

Double Conterstuffler @ Conterstuff

Hello burger lovers,

yesterday evening I went to the Conterstuff, which is a Brasserie in the village of Contern, not far from the city of Luxembourg. The place was packed with people, and I am pretty sure there weren't only locals. I went with Ä, born and raised in Contern, who recommended the place. We both had the home made Double Conterstuffler with fries for 12,50€. They actually have two burgers (simple and double) on their menu, which I find very nice for a Brasserie.

Evaluation:

The burger was nicely presented, with an egg sunny side-up next to it. (nicely done!) I was surprised by the size of the burger, it wasn't very easy eating it, which is a good thing in my opinion. The fries came in a separate bowl, and had mayonnaise and ketchup with it. The fries were of a good quality, maybe a bit too big but definitely tasty. The bun was not special, the same standard one that you get, and I criticize everywhere. Honestly, from such a cozy Brasserie I expected a better bun. I appreciated though that they put a toast between the two pieces of meat. Speaking of the meat, it was delicious. I suppose it wasn't all beef, but very tasty, fresh and cooked the way I like it. The toppings were fresh as well, there were onions (which I personally don't like that much), a slice of tomato, lettuce and a mix of carrot/celery (not a good topping for a burger). The cheese wasn't easy to spot, and was mostly tasteless. The sauce didn't have a flavor to remember, it might have been dressing for the salad, so there I expect something better.

Thanks to the fine meat, the burger was O.K.

I think I will go back to the Conterstuff, but I will have something different from their menu, everything seemed very delicious.

Tower Burger @ Urban Bar & Kitchen

Hello burger lovers,

They say that there is nothing more mouthwatering than to wrap your lips around a juicy burger... I wouldn't go that far, but it can be pretty good :)

Anyway, word on the street was that you get the best burger at Urban Bar. That's why I booked a table for 5 during lunchtime to have lots of witnesses to confirm people's opinion. The Urban Bar is the place to be in Luxembourg's nightlife. It's situated in the heart of the old town, right next to the Palace. During the evenings the bar is packed with people, a very cosmopilitan place in the conservative Luxembourg. Yet again I had high hopes.

We all ordered the Tower Burger (15,50€ and 300gr of meat), some with bacon, I went with Jalapeños as a topping. I really liked that you could order extra toppings for your burger, but I didn't like the price so much (1€ per additional topping).


Evaluation:


It was actually very difficult to eat the burger. We were sitting on a couch and the burger was quite big. It came surprisingly quick from their kitchen, but it wasn't warm anymore. A pity. It looked very good, the way a burger is supposed to look. The fact that the meat was tasteless was really disapointing. Neither the nicely melted cheese nor the burger sauce really had a distinguished flavor. The lettuce was fresh and green, but the tomato was too watery, which nearly ruined the whole burger. The buns, not good enough (the same ones I criticize in every review), but I liked their fries. Thin, crispy, salted and warm :), plus they got us every extra sauces we ordered (free of charge). That's the way to treat customers.  

Honestly I was a bit disapointed by the burger. For this price I really expected something more special. It wasn't all bad though.
