Grill'd

I've always had great service from the staff here. Very efficient and polite. The burgers at Grill'd are solid. It's definitely a meal. Some burger joints leave you feeling like you haven't had a meal, but this place isn't like that. On this visit I had the Zen Hen. It's a great burger. I'd like more of the satay sauce, but, other than that, it's delicious. You can get beer here, which is great. They have a number of craft beers available from local breweries. You can also double the parties on your burgers, if you want to.

I’m a fitness fanatic and a health food enthusiast. So when I read about Skinny’s Grill and their tag line “low on carbs, fat on flavour”, they certainly got my attention. Anything that promises me to be high on protein low on carbs has me at hello. Now when I looked on their Instagram and saw burgers and pastas, I wasn’t quite sure how this could be possible, so went to try it myself. They sell a range of starters, burgers, meat dishes and desserts. If you order a burger or meat, you select your side and the “carbo-meter” tells you what option is best, like salad or brown rice or sweet potato fries. We had the crispy chicken burger on low carb bread with low carb crumbing and fresh salad - it was an extremely good burger. We also had the “no carb bruschetta”. Whilst it doesn’t have “no carbs” (its vegetables), it was certainly a low carb option as it was minus the bread, with the tomatoes on top of some super fresh and juicy mushrooms. We thought we should try a pasta to see how it differs. I asked about the pasta and it is made with a sort of wheat and protein supplement. The flavour was nice and the pasta sort of tasted like a wholegrain pasta does, a bit dense, which is to be expected. The service was extremely lovely and very prompt. The cafe is quite big and modern. You can also sit outside as we did. The concept is smart, for all those on low carb diets, and you can see your daily intake of carbs/protein/fats etc. For those on a low carb diet - it’s a tasty way to enjoy it.

Spectacular, juicy burgers with a wide variety of tastes and flavours to suit pickier connoisseurs. Finds its place well on Eat Street and has quite social, integrated vibes through the establishment, with a hint of community involvement.
