Grillen Burgerbar är en dansk burgarkedja som i skrivande stund finns i fem städer i Danmark. I Köpenhamn har de i skrivande stund fyra burgarhak och en foodtruck, vilket gör dem till ett av landets största premiumkedjor.

Vi besökte en av restaurangerna i centrala Köpenhamn, där vi beställde deras Cheese & Bacon med pommes frites för 89 danska kronor. Vi fick vår måltid efter bara några minuter, men burgarens utseende var minst sagt chockerande då den innehöll de tjockaste picklade gurkorna vi någonsin har sett på en burgare.

För att börja med det positiva så var köttet faktiskt bra, med tillfredsställande kryddning och en rejäl saftighet. Brödet var helt okej men lite stelt, och borde ha varit mer följsamt för att gifta sig mer med köttet och de övriga ingredienserna. Baconet var tyvärr lite för sladdrigt, och osten hade gärna fått smälta lite till.

Men det värsta av allt var såklart de centimetertjocka picklade gurkorna, som dessutom var kylskåpskalla. Vi vet inte varför de har valt att ha en sån besynnerlig ingrediens, och framförallt inte varför de var så kalla. Men de förstörde helt klart en stor del av upplevelsen. En burgare kommer långt på bra kött och okej bröd, men Grillen Burgerbars brister med de övriga ingredienserna sänker tyvärr betyget och gör att vi har svårt att rekommendera dem – åtminstone i Köpenhamn.

In English

Grillen Burgerbar is one of the largest premium burger chains in Denmark, with burger joints in five Danish cities. We visited one of their 4 Copenhagen restaurants, where we ordered the Cheese & Bacon with fries for 89 DKK.

When the burger was served we were in shock, to put it mildly. The centimetre thick pickles, were without the biggest we’d seen on a burger, and they were cold to boot. Thankfully, the patty was actually good with satisfying seasoning and juiciness. The bun was okay, but a bit stale which prevented it from cooperating with all the other ingredients. We would have prefered the bacon to be a bit more crispy and the cheese a bit meltier as well.

Of course, the biggest letdown was the cold and thick pickles, which ruined the meal. The tasty patty and an alright bun helped a lot, but since the other ingredients weren’t up to par we’re hesitant to recommend them – at least not in Copenhagen.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
