Feeling the effects of the night before and in need of some greasy sustenance? Want to grab something fast but not trashy before you head out for a night on the town? Or are the kids just pestering you for a feel-good lunch? In any case, Bintje has got you covered, open every day with only three smash burger options made from pure Holstein beef on offer – making it a paradise for anyone with an aversion for making decisions: the hearty Bête Cheese with ketchup and mustard ticks all the boxes for a classic burger; the Original BBBQ features crispy bacon and caramelized onions; and the house specialty – the Bintje Mac boasts a secret sauce, and cross our heart’s you won’t be disappointed! Plus, the joint’s name doesn’t lie: the twice-cooked fries are fried in sunflower oil and served with homemade sauces (pepper, honey mustard or tartar). We’ll be back, with or without the kids. // Jean Gourmand
