We visited the Burgundy Lion for lunch on a Tuesday. We arrived at 12 noon and already the pub was filling up. Great interior, very similar to a British pub/bar in London. The choice of beers was excellent with Guinness, Boddingtons etc etc. Service was fast and the menu is slick and to the point. There wasn't pages and pages of dishes which is so off putting when you only have a short lunch break. Plenty of British traditions such as Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, Ploughmans, and good old indian curry.
We ordered the Highland burger with french fries and also the Tikka Masala curry with naan bread. I was asked how I liked my burger cooked which was a surprise to hear for a lunchtime pub so after this question I expected a great burger. Much to say, I was very disappointed. The burger was tiny within a huge bun. It literally sat in the middle like a meatball while the bun remained soggy. It was difficult to pick up and fell apart. The meat was very dry, almost like it was reheated rather than freshly cooked. The tikka masala curry was also very dry, like it was cooked and then reheated in the microwave. There wasn't any moisture in the sauce at all more-so like curry paste stuck to the chicken.
I must say though the french fries that came with the burger were the best I had ever had and their homemade sauce was excellent.
However $45 for two lunch main dishes, a pint of Guinness and a panache was too much especially for the overly cooked and very dry food.
