Gasometer IX

11/11/2013: We're sad to report the closure of our beloved Gasometer.

September 4, 2012

Brother Burger made a nice change from our usual Gasometer dinner on Cherchez la Femme night, but I'm not sure we would have strayed if I had remembered that Gaso are celebrating their second birthday with a best-of menu! The chicken burger, Rueben and chicken-waffles - some of our favourites - all made the cut.

I did find room for dessert, at least - I took my table number into the salon and was courteously delivered a strawberry cheesecake pop ($10) while the panel got sexy. One bite sent biscuit crumbs spraying everywhere and I was thankful for the napkin and spoon that came with it. The strawberry chunks were a highlight, supple and sweet without any iciness.

It might be time to create a dedicated Gasometer label, since we've already visited one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times. Since our last post it's had more veg*n visitors: Mel of Veganise This! loved the pastrami burger and then took Theresa the tropical vegan there for a meet-up. Johanna of Green Gourmet Giraffe spent a pleasant Saturday afternoon there, and wander cookie also counts it amongst their favourites.

Accessibility: The Gasometer has a small step on entry. The tables are crowded in some areas but the booths and tables closest to the entry are relatively spacious. Ordering and payment occurs at a high counter. Male and female toilets are on the same level as everything else but are not particularly spacious.
