Bombas — Restaurant in Cagliari

We found this place online and decide to give a go since we are burger lovers from London who had enough of pizza that week... by 7:30 started raining in Cagliari and we decided to wait by their door to hide from the rain (my husband, 57 years old mother, my 5 years old daughter and me) half an hour later it was 8 o’clock (time that they should open) the doors was still shut so I rang the bell and nothing. Finally a staff arrived to open the place and she informed me that they would open in 10 minutes. By then we’ve been waiting around 45 minutes in the rain and were starving. Finally 8:15pm they open the doors and let us in. We were soaked in rain and looking forward to eating. Asked for a table for 4 and they said they only accepted reservations and were totally booked (the place was empty) we almost had to beg for a table as they didn’t give a dam we waited and had my daughter with me. Finally they said would let us eat for 30 minutes only. Was enough for us so we ordered. The burgers came... let’s say it was not a very well worth wait in the rain. Dry bread, the burger didn’t have enough salt. The fries are a cheap version of Pringles. The bad kind of bagged chips you buy in a bar. So for the VERY BAD customer service, and average food... I don’t think they would still with the doors open if this place...

Very nice local place! They have a very good selection of burgers, representing sardinian cuisine. You should also order patatine fritte and fried culurgiones! Patatine fritte, which was done in a particular way, was sliced very thin and cooked like chips. It came with bombas sauce and another sauce with truffe. Culurgiones come as 4 pieces. It has 3 different filling options, we chose the first one. Very delicious! Definitely recommending. For burger, we ordered Bue Rosso, a meat from a specific part I believe, as explained in the menu and Gavino which had sheep meat. Burgers are quite big with 160gr or 180 gr meat depending on the selection. The interior is also amazing, you go in and it leaves you impressed with its historical, cave-like features. The owners and workers are super nice! Very lovely. We enjoyed so much our dinner here and I highly recommend to anyone visiting Cagliari! It is...

Se avete voglio di un buon hamburger di pura carne sarda, allora, quando vi trovate a Cagliari, vi consiglio di recarvi da Bombas.

Il locale si trova sotto il Bastione, in un posto molto caratteristico di questa splendida città.

Bombas utilizza solo prodotti sardi originali al 100%, dalla carne alla birra passando per il vino.

Personalmente ho mangiato un hamburger al piatto di 160gr di nome Janas (se non erro). Il sapore del miele si univa in maniera perfetta con la rucola i pomodori e la provola. Veramente buono, ma ad esser onesto la scelta era ampia e non è stata semplice.

Dopo l'hamburger ho mangiato delle patate fritte tagliate fine fine dall'ottimo sapore, servite con salse preparate dai gestori del locale (ottimo la maionese con i cetrioli).

Menzione d'onore la merita il tiramisù al mirto: da provare assolutamente. Ci mettono sopra dell scaglie di cioccolato e del torroncino che lo rendono veramente delizioso.

Il tutto è stato innaffiato da una birra artigianale sarda (i 4 mori?) con un gradevole retrogusto amaro, ma che lasciava in bocca una leggerissima gusto fruttato che si combinava perfettamente con la carne.

Ora le note dolenti: se volete mangiare qui armatevi di pazienza. Bisogna aspettare perché viene tutto preparato al momento e questo comporta del tempo. Inoltre molte volte il locale è pieno poiché non è ampio. Consiglio di prenotare. Il WiFi non funziona bene (questa per me è una sciocchezza perché se si vai compagnia è bello scambiare quattro chiacchere).

Il locale è pulitissimo ed è ricavato in quella che sembra una vecchia stalla oppure una vecchia cantina.

Il personale è cortese e garbato.

PS: il nome Bombas vuol dire...
