Copenhagens best burger.This is one of the Copenhagen gems and a rather unknown one. However in my opinion they serve Copenhagen's best burger. Like any good burger, it looks super basic but the flavors are just amazing. I am still trying to figure out what exactly it is that makes this burger so good for me. All I can come up with is that everything is done just right and then, I really like that their pickles seem to have a bit more punch to them and their fries are just amazing. So far it's just for takeaway but in the summertime, they have tables outside where you can enjoy your burger.
