Palermo, Sicily

• Purpose:     Burger Assessment

• Good for:    Everything

• Verdict:       Wow. Burgers on the website looked good - unless you're a cow, horse, donkey, buffalo.... so we decided to trek over and have a look, and by golly how happy I was. After doing the oldest Parktun in Italy (and very friendly, grazie Park Uditere!) and walking for 4 hours, I was pretty hungry and that was good because the burger was large. The patty was smaller than the bun, but more than normal size, and tasted good - the whole thing was tasty, with the possible exception of the cheese (Provola) which was a bit drowned out but good textured and held things together well. Chips were actually potato crisps, albeit really nice ones. We also had croquettes which were also very big. Beer and wine choices were excellent. The whole place has gone for a funky right on vibe and it's achieved - and with reasonable prices. What I'd give for the same in London. If you're in Palermo, go (opposite Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio, looks like a restaurant - which it is).
