Peter Pane - Burgergrill & Bar

Shameless Hans im Glück Rip-Off and not so great burger

Hans im Glück Burger Restaurants have lot of original concept and decoration that aren't seen or used in other restaurants. That includes the fairy tale character, four squeezable bottles of H.i.G. sauces at each table, felt table mats, thick bounded storybook-like menus, all-time favourite lunch deal (side dish and drink for €5 more), excellent vegetarian and vegan choices, different choices of breads, side dishes, long rectangular plates and fries bowls, fixed tables and benches, etc.

I joined a group of friends for dinner at Peter Pane, and I was sort of confused because the only difference between Hans im Glück and Peter Pane was the name. Obviously, a blatant carbon copy of Hans im Glück. As a graphic designer, that didn't sit with me well.

The tall cocktail drink I ordered (average price: €8.90) was probably 90% crushed ice and 10% mixed drink. The fries were served lukewarm and little bit soggy as if they sat in the bin too long. If it wasn't for sauce and condiments, the burger tasted bland and uninspiring.

Later, I found out that the guys who established Peter Pane used to have Hans im Glück franchise for a few years before terminating the contract. No wonder, Peter Pane was hauled to the court for stealing Hans im Glück concept. Peter Pane is so unorginal and doesn't deserve our patronage (and money). Hopefully, Peter Pane will join the Great Restaurant Pasture in the sky soon.

Just. Don't. Visit. Peter. Pane. Period!
