i finally visited this mugg and bean branch since they've become halaal and this was truly one of the best experiences i've had at any mugg and bean.
we were greeted by our veryfriendlyand accommodating waitron, jaco.
my friend and i both ordered the sesame crusted buttermilk chicken burger with rosemary fries. wow... talk about a gourmet burger! the knotted buns were topped with the sesame-crusted buttermilk chicken strips, rainbow slow, grated parmesan, fresh tomato and drizzled with a garlic mayo and honey-lemon citrus reduction. it was absolutely delicious - the flavours worked so well together and the portion size was large - definitely one of the best burgers i've had!
for dessert i had a slice of their lemon meringue. i've always loved mugg and bean's lemon meringue because the actual lemon part is quite tart which works perfectly with the sweet meringue - they get the balance perfect every time and today was no exception.
my friend had a slice of the peppermint crisp cake. for my own personal taste i thought that there was a bit too much cream and too little peppermint crisp / caramel.
overall i had a really great first experience at the branch with great food and even better service (thanks jaco!) - i can see this quickly becoming one of my favourite spots close to him to get a quick meal.
