@Korner, don't cut this Korner (Zürich, Switzerland)

The burger hunt in Zürich continues and this time we got a recommendation from a college of mine to try Korner.

First impression of Korner was that it centers around it's bar since that is the first thing you see when entering the place, which is really nice. It gives you the sense of having a beer and when ready order a burger. Compared to it's competitors it does not have a outstanding theme, it is an airy space with lots of space which welcomes everyone to have a drink and eat.

Their menu consist mostly of different burger combinations and for lunch they also offer pasta, salads and etc. I found their menu to be nice with plenty of choices and sides to heighten the experience for everyone and also a nice layout of the menu.

The burger's are made of swiss beef and in this case Highland beef. The patty I would guess is somewhere between 150-160 grams. The meat feels fresh and juicy together with the combos and the classic burger bun. On my to try list is the Mr. Scoville that is suppose to be super hot.

As a side choice Korner offers coleslaw and for sure we needed to try it since we are big fans of coleslaw. It was really tasty but potentially it could have been a bit more crunchy =)

All in all Korner is a good offer along the high quality burger joint's in Zürich, so don't cut the Korner and give it a try.....

@ the bite, it's a BURGER! (Zürich, Switzerland)


The Zürich burger scene has so far not disappointed......so what does one of the most hyped burger joint's in Zürich have to offer?

After three tries to get a table (our schedule vs the bites schedule) we finally found a day to eat us some burger's and just in case, the bite would deliver on it's hype we actually reserved two dates one for our date night and one to hang out with some friends!

The bite provides a nice atmosphere with new age street-art hanging on the walls, damped light, candles and old school mixed furniture that brings in something different in a good way. It's noisy as hell which I love, people chatting and enjoying themselves. It's like sitting at a NY restaurant people watching, drinking beers and enjoying good food.

The menu comes with some standard burger's and some with a twist on it and of-course a burger of the week. The bite also have a SECRET, in this case it is the meat mix...I won't spill it out but you can always try to ask or simply Google. However the mix delivers a 170 gram patty that is not super juicy but very airy which makes it yummy to eat without getting that compact meat feeling. The bun is traditional US style brioche which goes perfectly with their burger's!

The plus on the menu is the THREESOME, a collection of three sliders that are based on their three most popular burger's or their crazy awsome Manchego burger. To top the whole thing off and really get in to the food coma add Animal style fries!

To sum it up, the bite meets it's hype and as supply and demand states in this case the burger's might feel a bit on the pricier side, bite the dust it will be worth the experience.

.............and yes we went back for the second reservation with our friends and Martin was totally happy about the slider's and that I delivered on my burger promises. We just missed the shake's!
 







Animal style fries, roasted shallots and plenty of cheese =)
