An Chistin

Needed something more substantial than the usual lunchtime sandwich so popped in here having passed it a few days earlier and perused the menu outside. I fancied a pizza. Pity I didn’t read the sign or I would have realised it is a ‘regular’ restaurant during the day and metamorphoses into an Italian eatery — apparently under different management — after 5. Who knew? Peculiar business model. Anyway, quelling my pizza hunger — mostly because it was raining and I was here anyway — I ordered the laughingly described ‘Gourmet Burger’. I think what emerged from the kitchen was one of the worst burgers I’ve ever been subjected to. The meat patty was clearly of the bought-​in frozen variety. It was tough and greasy and the ciabatta was either stale or also returned from a frozen state. The burger was topped with what I thought was red cabbage but turned out to be shredded red onion. I think. It looked and tasted vile. The fries were pretty good though. With a bottle of sparkling water the cost was € 11.75. I’ve had much better, and cheaper, from a burger van.

This place is brillinat, delicious scrumcious food each time. Breakfast sambos are to die for and Siobhan who runs it, is one nicest people. It is worth your time to check it out, you will always feel welcome!
