The famous cheeseburger at the original Gasoline Grill.There’s been a hype around Gasoline Grill ever since they opened in 2016. That means a steady queue of customers at the gas station at Landgreven a few blocks from Kongens Nytorv. The burgers: the patty could be described as a medium thick semi-smashburger made of fresh ground organic beef, fried medium well done, with plenty of fat and flavour, served in a potato bun. The benchmark cheeseburger (make it double) comes with cheddar, raw onion, pickles and Gasoline Grill mayo sauce. The fries are crinkle-cut, light and soft inside. Definitely a great, plain hamburger. The menu also features fried chicken sandwiches, vegetarian burgers and a butter burger. Drink house made lemonade or cold Tuborg.

I had the breakfast, which already gives some nice flavours of the new setup, with scrambled eggs with nduja butter, kale with olive oil and Sicilian brioche with pistachio custard. The breakfast can be turned into lunch by adding a beef tartar with ground dried tomato capuliato, capers and oregano. The lunch and dinner menu features dishes from crudo of monkfish to braised rabbit with olives and spaghetti with anchovies, and, of course almond granita. For those who are missing the sourdough bread from Mirabelle Bakery: it’s still served with the food and can be bought in limited amounts for takeout.
