BBQ Shop är en liten köttbutik och restaurang belägen i det exklusiva området Leblon i Rio de Janeiro. Lokalen är liten, med ett fåtal bord och sittplatser, och precis som lokalen är deras meny tajt och koncis. Vi beställde in deras Esquina BBQ-burgare med cheddar, lök, pickles, senap och ketchup för 59 BRL (95 kronor).

Burgaren serveras delad på en svart porslinstallrik, och när vi plockade upp den möttes vi av en tjock puck gjord på grovmalet kött, som var perfekt medium rare-stekt enligt deras rekommendation. Brödet kämpade för fullt med att stå emot köttsafterna, men det gick inte särskilt bra då det rostats lite för lite på insidan. Särskilt hälen blev ganska uppblött, förmodligen även på grund av att de delat burgaren mitt itu. Men det var ändå följsamt och det var inga problem att hålla burgaren i händerna. Det saftiga köttet var otroligt härligt med en mjuk textur som smälte i munnen. Några varv till med saltkvarnen hade dock lyft smakerna ännu mer, men det var en mindre petitess i det annars högkvalitativa köttet. Vi gillade balansen mellan alla ingredienser, och de klassiska smakerna av en cheeseburgare infann sig snabbt till vår belåtenhet. Senapen och picklesen arbetade snyggt tillsammans för att bryta av det mäktiga köttet och skapade en fin balans. Pommes fritesen var goda men hade blivit ännu krispigare och godare om de fått stanna kvar i fritösen en stund. Däremot var den medföljande BBQ-såsen precis som vi ville ha den – med mer kryddig hetta än sötma.

BBQ Shop levererar en opretentiös burgare som gör allt den lovar, med mycket hög köttkvalitet och klassiska smaker. Dessutom ligger de nära stranden, vilket gör dem till en utsökt plats för en måltid före eller efter lite strandhäng på en av världens mest fotogeniska städer.

In English

BBQ Shop is a small meat shop and restaurant located in the exclusive Leblon neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. The restaurant is small, with a few tables and seats, and like the venue, their menu is tight and concise. We ordered their Esquina BBQ burger with cheddar, onions, pickles, mustard and ketchup for BRL 59 (9.5 USD).

Our burger came served cut in half, on a black porcelain plate, and when we picked it up, we were greeted by a thick patty made from coarsely ground beef, perfectly medium rare as per their recommendation. The bun struggled to handle the beef juices, but it didn’t do very well as it wasn’t toasted enough on the inside. The heel in particular got quite soggy, probably also because they’d cut the burger in half. But it was still soft and squishy, and we had no problem holding the burger in our hands. The juicy patty was incredibly delicious with a soft texture that melted in our mouths. A few more turns with the salt grinder would have elevated the flavours even more, but it was a minor complaint with the otherwise high-quality beef. We liked the balance of all the ingredients, and the classic flavours of a cheeseburger quickly made us happy. The mustard and pickles worked nicely together to break up the rich patty, creating a nice balance. The fries were nice but would have been even crispier and tastier if they had been left in the fryer a bit longer. Aside from that, the accompanying BBQ sauce was just as we wanted it – with more spicy heat than sweetness.

BBQ Shop deliver an unpretentious burger that does everything it promises, with very high quality meat and classic flavours. Plus, they’re close to the beach, making them a delicious spot for a meal before or after some beach time in one of the world’s most photogenic cities.

🇦🇺 @barlucasydney ★★★☆☆

Bar Luca is a cool and loud bar just a stone’s throw from the Opera House in central Sydney. They have been going viral for a while with one of their campaign burgers, which now has a permanent place on their menu. So when we were there, it was the obvious choice. The burger was called Blame Canada and consisted of a single beef patty, American cheese, maple syrup-glazed bacon, maple syrup aioli, poutine and fries inside the burger. The price was 20 AUD (14 USD).

Our burger still looked pretty good when it arrived, shiny from the maple syrup and with a patty with a decent crust. The beef tasted fine, even if it was a bit burnt in some places and would have benefited from a looser texture. The crown of the bun was a bit squashed, but it still held together surprisingly well and tasted great. The bacon was also unexpectedly crispy, and we liked the nice and flavourful maple syrup glaze. But it was very sweet overall with all the maple syrup, which literally dripped from the burger. This made the whole burger really sticky and quite difficult to handle – even if it also meant that we ate the whole thing at once. The fries that were under the patty itself were very soft and completely lacked crunch, probably because they were steamed by being placed directly in the burger. And we would have really preferred a bit larger cheese curds in the poutine, as the texture was a bit unappealing.

Blame Canada sounded very interesting on paper, and we can see why the burger has gone viral and become so popular. And even if everything was alright, it had too many technical mistakes to become a real favourite. But if you are in the mood for a sweet and sticky burger while listening to some loud music, Bar Luca is there for you.

Royal Stacks is a Melbourne-based burger chain that was founded in 2016 after their founder Dani travelled to the US and got a healthy dose of inspiration. They are still expanding, and currently have more than 10 restaurants that are decorated with plenty of well-known pop culture references. The five beef burgers on the menu are clearly inspired by Shake Shack, but with a slightly cooler attitude. We ordered a Bacon Bacon; a double burger with cheese, caramelised onions, double bacon, pickles, ketchup and mustard for 23 AUD (16.5 USD).

Our burger looked good, but we were a bit worried about the large amount of ketchup that was piled on top of the bacon. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised by how well the ketchup tied the flavours together, and the sweetness and intense tomato flavour really made their mark here. The beef patties were tender, tasty and well-seasoned, but the bun was a bit too soft and should have been toasted a lot more. Fortunately, it held everything together well, so it wasn’t a big problem. On the ingredients front, the cheese provided a welcome creaminess, and we also liked the strong dill flavour of the pickles – although we would have preferred them to be thicker sliced and to have had more of them. They were already gone halfway through the burger. The bacon was a bit too soft and would have benefited from being crisper, but despite the slightly pale appearance, it was cooked pretty well. The caramelised onions were also a bit too soft, and we would have preferred raw onions here for a more interesting texture. Overall, the burger had well-balanced proportions, although everything was a bit softer than we would have liked.

Royal Stacks is a nice Australian fast casual chain that serves well made and affordable burgers in a cool environment. They are definitely worth checking out the next time you’re in Melbourne.
