Comptoir Gascon was featured as having an excellent burger that's a bit off the beaten track. As a rustic French restaurant, CG is indeed excellent with a superb cassoulet and delicious garlicky snails - just what you want when you fancy a culinary trip across the Channel without actually getting on the Eurostar. However, as a burger joint I think CG has a long way to go to unseat the current ruling grillmasters. It's a different burger, to be fair, with CG's being made from duck as opposed to the traditional beef, but still falls short on common elements. And it's not cheap either.The burger isn't bad, but it's not that good either. The patty was made of minced duck and it's reasonably sized and nicely seared. However, I've always found the joy of duck being in the thin layer of fat and crispy skin you'd usually get in a roast duck - something obviously missing here. The bun looked like it may have had a bit of the brioche in it, but after being toasted to within an inch of its life the bun was too dry to really work. A salad of mixed greens constituted the topping with a spoonful of red onion chutney added a touch of acidity. On its own, I'd be keen on the salad and chutney but it wasn't enough on its own. The burger really needed some cheese or a sauce or really anything to tie it all together. If you go for the Deluxe, you also get a thick slab of foie gras which definitely up the ante. Up to you if you think it's worth the extra £5 though - they do make a mean foie gras here.Overall, I found the burger decent but nothing to write home about (yes, the irony hasn't escaped me). I also tried the signature "burger" which is in essence a truffle and foie gras slider (the foie gras is the patty) which was rich and decadent and a pretty good way to spoil yourself. That's worth a punt even if it throws the training diet all out of whack.That being said, the cassoulet was spectacular and something I'd eagerly go back to have again. Indeed, the rest of the menu is spot on with our chicory, blue cheese, and walnut salad being demolished rapidly and the snails giving rise to a mad scramble. The "piggy treats" starter is a selection of all things pork and definitely worth getting although you'll also want to order some bread which unfortunately does not come free.The wine list is extensive (as one would expect) but surprisingly has options for less that £20. And even more surprising, those options are quite tasty with our chosen bubbles and bottle of red clocking in at around £18 each.
