• Fast food without the guilt!

For me this was a real highlight of the trip and something I really haven’t experienced anywhere before. These guys make the most incredible burgers from a small premises convenient for the Gellert baths and hill. The menu is drool inducing and it was hard to make a choice between such options such as shitake-quinoa and curried lentil. We went for the Mexican burger which was a black bean concoction topped with a thick layer of guacamole, melted vegan cheddar cheese, tons of salad, marinated peppers and a jalapeno aioli and the BBQ tofu burger which had a nicely marinated tofu steak as its center piece, smoked cheese, baby spinach salad, garlic veganese, both served into wholemeal spelt buns. Orders are served on recycled cardboard platters, which are very necessary with the juicy nature of these beasts. We had thin cut fries served together on the platter. The packaging throughout had been well thought through, we saw people leaving with take out orders in cardboard boxes and biodegradable bags. Ideally they would be using real plates for eat in orders but the kitchen seemed pushed enough as it was, with at least 6 people busy creating the freshly prepared orders. There was at least a separate collection bin for the trays for recycling but covered in sauce I’m not sure how viable that actually is but perhaps they are composted. So, the most important thing is the taste experience and they did not disappoint. I felt each was perfectly balanced flavor wise as well as with the texture and sauce level. Yes it was messy, but I would much rather that then some dry overcooked bean patty in a puffy white bun, which I have experienced at regular joints as a vegan side thought. My burger was chunky with bean pieces, well spiced and a good solid texture. The sauces were succulent and the melted vegan cheese a real pleasant surprise as it’s not something I would usually go for. We shared bites of each other’s choices as well as many sounds of appreciation. The tofu burger was also delicious and had crunchy pieces of perhaps onion, which went really well with the creamy cheese. I was very content, feeling the familiar full sated feeling after a glutinous binge but without the guilt and perhaps the uncomfortable stomach complaints that could well follow the meat, cheese, and white bread version.
