Royal Gourmetburger og Gin

I really enjoyed the atmosphere eventhough it was just a tuesday. The chiliburger was exceptional!

Oh man! I SO wanted to give this place a better review. I really did, but I just can’t! It was just so disappointing.
The outside looks great. The inside looks great. The staff, the atmosphere and the concept is all GREAT. But the food. Man, the food is NOT value for money.
Its expensive. I expected a REALLY good burger for that price. Amazingly our burgers arrived in takeaway wrapping paper. I was confused. Wasn’t this an expensive burger? Don’t I get a plate with some salad? Fries? Nothing?
The bread (both normal and gluten free) was cold and dry. Maybe we were unlucky with the bread. I do appreciate that they serve gluten free bread, but I would have preferred the burger WITHOUT bread than the lump of dryness I was given. It completely ruined the burger. The burger itself was good! Yes it was good, but it was ruined by the ridiculous price, the bread and lack of side dishes.
So what did I pay so much for? I’m sorry, but if you want that much money for a burger which is NOT amazing, please include some damn fries.
I’m sad to say we were so disappointed and still hungry when we had eaten the burgers that we went to Mc Donalds afterwards, because we couldn’t afford the buy anything else from this place.

I had heard many great things about this place ever since it opened, and I’m happy to say it lived up to expectations. We came on a Monday night (in the middle of the summer holiday) and the place was practically deserted. We found a table and was gived menus and told to order at the bar.
After some serious thinking I decided on the summer burger, and my husband got the Royal burger. We also ordered one portion of fries, trufflealioli, a coke and a small beer from tap. It all came to over 400kr, which is definetly pricey for a place like this, and you can get awesome burgers for a much better price in Bergen. I don’t appreciate that fries is not included, and some of the sides are quite expensive. That being said, one portion of fries was enough for both of us. Oh, and they were amazing! Some of the best fries I’ve ever had, and the trufflealioli was absolutely fantastic. They also have a housemade ketchup which is spicy and yummy, and also free.
We both ordered the burgers with organic meat (10NOK ekstra pr. burger), and since they have to cook the organic meat to well done, it was a tad on the dry side. Even though I prefer organic, I may try the regular meat next time and see if I can get a juicier, medium cooked burger. The burger was still very good though, allthough I’m not blown away. They get their breads from a local bakery and they feel very fresh, but with that thick patty and then the thick top bun, it can be hard to fit everything in your mouth!
The restaurant itself feels very hip. The walls are dark and they have lots of framed art from local street artist DOLK. There were only two people at work when we went, one cook and one server/​barman/​everything else. We got our orders in a very reasonable time, and the man we talked to was very polite and professional.
I will definetly be coming back to this place in the future. Heck, I could go for the fries alone! Considering the total cost it’s not a place we’ll just drop by if we want a burger, but it’s nice for a special occasion. It’s also very practical that it’s located right across from the cinema.
