We have wanted to try Hans Im Gluck for so long and today, we finally had the chance to try it! We visited the Boat Quay outlet for lunch on a weekday and it was fairly empty, hence we were lucky enough to get an indoor seat with air conditioning! The restaurant had a really extensive menu and after much deliberation, we decided to order the Birkenwald, which is a beef burger with mushrooms and sour cream sauce!

You can choose among different types of buns for your burger and we chose the sourdough bun, which came with a very slight sourish tinge that you can taste only if you eat the bun alone. The buns were lightly toasted and as a result, they are somewhat crispy on the outside and were not soggy from the sauce, which is a big plus! The beef patty was thick and we think its doneness was probably around medium, and we thought it went pretty well with the mushrooms! However, the sour cream pairing was a little strange (especially with the beef) and you might want to add the barbeque sauce (can be found on every table) to your burger instead if that is better for you!

We ordered the set meal and as a result, we could opt for a side dish! We chose the thick-cut fries which honestly came in a far larger serving than we expected! 😁 We loved the generous serving size and the firm texture. Furthermore, the fries were freshly-fried and served piping hot!

The set meal also comes with a drink and we upgraded it to a Weissbier pint, which is a 500 mL serving of ice-cold, slightly fruity wheat beer. We liked our choice of beer as it was not hoppy at all and there wasn't much bitterness in it.

The set meal was really filling and we ate to our heart's content. Although we paid $31++ for the meal, which was a little on the high side to be honest, we were really satisfied! 😁😁
