On beer benches on the sidewalk, the Smashburger fulfills fast-food dreams and sets new standards. The soft buns come from the Shake Shack in the U.S., the patties are juicy and crispy, the fries are slender and salty, and the meatless versions are convincing.

Between brick walls and warm wooden tables, venison burgers are on the menu. Venison and wild boar are not only available in the aforementioned bun, but also pulled or as schnitzel. Served with organic truffle fries, onion rings in beer batter or sweet potato mash.
