Burgus
Burger Bar (BBB) is a well established Israeli diner chain that specializes
in quality burgers and much more. BBB announces a new menu with a
collection of concept burgers such as Latino, Maragez, Jamaica, and
more. All BBB’s burgers are made from selected parts that are made fresh
and grinded locally.
This
Israeli diner is decorated like an american diner, with booths, which are
equipped with touch screens that show the menu as well as enable games,
including such that are from one table to another.
We ate a
‘tasting’ meal presenting small portions of sample dishes from the new menu for
2016. Note, the full sized courses are bigger. Each course was accompanied with
the beer that best pairs with it, we also got explanations about the food and
the beers and how to select the right beer for each type of food.
Starters
Wings
without bone with chilly soy and sesame – a surprising dish! There is no need
to dirty hands to take apart the meat from the bone, and it is less greasy. The
sauce is a bit sweet and spicy.
Roast
beef on arugula with reduced balsamic sauce and garlic confit – excellent ,
exactly made, red and soft emphasizing the quality of the meat served.
Popcorn
fish – salmon filet in rice crispy crunch shell with teriyaki and chilly – I
loved this dish, very crunchy and the sauce has a lot of chilly (a bit spicy).
Chicken
liver pate with (dairy) onion confit – very well done, somewhat sweet.
Roast
bone marrow served with Jewish salt and pepper – not my cup of tea.
The
starters were served with two beers – Carlsberg and Tuborg. Carlsberg is bitter
and sharp and is well-suited to accompany the Bone Marrow and to salad. Tuborg
pairs well with the rest of the starters.
There
are also salads and vegan dishes.
Latino
Burger – guacamole, crunchy onion, salsa picante, aioli, chipotle and a sunny
side up egg
Butchers
Burger with Foie Gras – smoked goose breast, arugula, crispy onion, pickle,
onion confit and foie gras.
Margez
Burger – arisa, salsa picante, onion in Sicilian suma, Maragez sausage and
tahini sauce.
Jamaica
Burger – crispy vegetables, caramelized pineapple and Mango aioli
We
started with the Latino
Burger (right
hand side) and the
Butchers Burger with Foie Gras. We had the burgers with
Weihenstephan beer.
The
Latino Burger was a wonderful surprise. The burger is served on a soft beet bun
that has a gentle pleasant taste. While I’m not a big fan of Mexican food, the
combination of the not-so-spicy guacamole with the crispiness of the onion and
the rest of the toppings of this burger makes it a superb dish!
The
combination of the Butchers burger with the foie gras and the smoked goose
breast make it the perfect burger to the core meat lovers! The mix of meats is
to die for!
We
continued to the Maragez
Burger and the Jamaica Burger
It is
worth mentioning that the buns of these burgers are not plain burger buns.
Similarly to the Latino, these burgers are served on fresh boutique buns.
No doubt that this upgrades these superb burgers!
Maragez
Burger was served with Leffe Bruin beer. The sausage is spicy and the
burger was one of the favorites of my partner.
The
Jamaica Burger was served with Leffe Blond beer (this beer pairs well with
sweet flavored food). This burger is quite sweet and the crispiness of
the vegetables is emphasized.
Desserts
We got
dessert sampler plates of many of the desserts available:
Bittersweet
and white chocolateTruffle
Cold
cheesecake with Amarena cheery sauce and crumble
Brownie
with caramelized banana and toffee
Halva
and pistachio Parfait (vegan)
Cookie
butter and chocolate cream
Mini
Pavalova with sorbet and berries
The
desserts were excellent, including the vegan one. If you order the Cookie
butter and chocolate cream, let it sit a soften, it turns into a delicacy when
soft!
The
desserts were served with Leffe Ruby. This beer contains raspberry, blueberry
and strawberry. While some argue that it is not a real beer, it is quite a
ladies’ favorite here. It pairs well with the desserts because of its
sweetness.
