A local favorite institution. Visited by celebrities, high-ranking government and private sector officials, as well as common people. Absolutely nothing fancy about this place, on the contrary it is very bare-minimum. Just great burgers done in a barbecue. I love it and go often for lunch or after work.

Pizza
If you like thin-crust pizza this is the best pizza you will ever eat. So thin even the smallest person can eat a whole pizza by themselves. Gourmet toppings, several dough options, artisan beers and exotic whiskeys.
DISCLAIMER: This place is very small (not suitable for groups of more than 3-4 people), opens only Friday - Sunday, and is very slow. If you are looking for great pizza and are willing to sacrifice service and commodity go, if not DONT. I personally love this place and recommend the food 100%, but recognize also it's faults...
