Hamburger Review: La Salle à Manger Geneva

La Salle à Manger Geneva

La Salle à Manger is a cozy little restaurant located in the steep alleys of Geneva. Their menu consists offers several kinds of burgers, that are all served with fries. As you can see from the picture I went for the double burger, since this was both breakfast and lunch in one for me on that day. Let me tell you I was struggling... although I am known for my healthy appetite.

So let's start with the analysis; the sesame bun is my favorite bun and it was fairly good, but could have been toasted a bit more. When biting into a burger, a very essential taste experience is the smell of the toasted bread aroma.
Something I didn't like at all, was the swiss cheese on the burger. I think that it is not the right ingredient for a burger as it has a very strong flavor and its saltiness overpowers the meat flavor. The meat itself was very good, which is why I am giving a 5 rating instead of a 4, as I find it to be the most important aspect of the burger. And Swiss meat is definitely very high up in the meat quality scale (although Argentinean and Japanese Kobe are far ahead). THe patties were handmade and had a fresh and juicy texture.

Now there was no milkshake and the fries weren't outstanding either, but not bad either.

Rating: 5 out of 6
