Anchas Bodega — Restaurant in Drammen

We ordered 4 tapas dishes, a glass of franciacorta and alcohol free beer. Gambas, burrata, mushroom croquettes and deep fried feta cheese. The food was excellent! Only thing was missing is salt on the burrata, but this is minor issue. Pesto was good, the onion marmalade (which is often bad) was excellent and perfect match for the cheese. Gambas was with garlic and chilli. Just the right spicy and good amount of garlic. Croquettes were tasty as well. They also served fresh bread with aioli. Must say the aioli was really well done. Would like to also commend this place for having franciacorta on glass on their menu, which is not so common, and much better than Prosecco. The atmosphere, music, decoration, lighting was perfect, very cozy. Only negative I need to mention is that I don’t feel like the waiter is trying to upsell or recommend, more or less there to do a job. As I am myself working and responsible for a restaurant, this is a bit disappointing. Service was not bad by any means, but nothing to sing about either. On the other hand the uniforms are terrible. First of all, black shirt and jeans, but white shoes and white socks. Second, the uniform was at least a size bigger than the waiter, and therefore looks comical. The waiter also chose to have the shirt neck opened 2-3 buttons that allowed us to see his chest tattoo. Highly unprofessional. I don’t want to see that while I am eating. We are not on a beach. Also on the floor one can see the waiter use his phone for private usage, again very unprofessional. These are all small issues that can be easily fixed with some adjustment, so I would definitely come back...

The food is really good and they have a great selection of tapas.

We would frequently take the beef burger that they serve (I believe it's called the Anchas Burger) and it was completely fantastic.

However at some point they changed the bread and the meat and it became of terrible quality, dry and unappealing.

Further to this, a policy was introduced where the waiter asks to write down how much in tips we would like to give. If I want to give a tip, I will and I don't need to be asked to write this down on their receipt. It feels rather awkward and unnatural for a...

Vi prøvde Anchas Bodega for første gang i går, hørt mye bra om denne restauranten, så forventningene var høye. Vi hadde bestilt bord i forveien.

Vi hadde lyst på en skikkelig god burger og de hadde burger på menyen. Burgeren vi fikk var den verste som jeg har noen gang smakt. Brødet var tørt og falt fra hver andre. Jeg ba om at kjøttet på min burger skulle bli medium rare, jeg fikk beskjed når servitøren kom med burgeren at medium rare ikke var mulig og kjøttet var helt gjennomstekt og det var ikke en dråpe med saft igjen i kjøttet. Selve smaken på kjøttet var også helt forferdelig, vi tok noen biter og lot nesten hele måltidet ligge igjen.

Pommfriene hadde blitt fritert altfor lenge og smakte nesten kun frityrolje.

Bordet vi blei satt på blåste det kaldt luft og det var iskaldt. Når vi ba om regningen så spurte servitøren oss ikke om vi like maten, tror han skjønte at vi gjorde ikke det siden langt over halv parten ikke var spist. Når vi hadde gått ca. 1km fra restauranten så ringte en servicetør meg og spurte om vi ikke skulle komme til restauranten for og benytte oss av bordet som vi hadde reservert. Jeg sa at vi har allerede vært inni og spist, da fortalte hun meg at vi hadde blitt satt ned ved feil bord. Som om det er viktig.... hahahah

Blei en opplevelse for nesten 700kr. Dette stedet anbefaler jeg...
