Gourmet Burger Kitchen

Gourmet Burger Kitchen – eller bara GBK som de även kallas – är en riktig veteran inom burgarscenen. De öppnade sin första restaurang redan 2001 i London, och har sedan dess expanderat över hela England och även till andra länder i Europa och Mellanöstern, och de har definitivt hjälpt till att skapa den burgarvåg som svept över världen på senare år.

Vi beställde en Major Tom, med 30 dagars hängmörat kött, krispigt bacon, äppelträrökt ost, biffketchup och dillpickles. Det lät ju riktigt gott, och vi är helt sålda på att använda hängmörat kött på burgare. Resultatet var dock ingen höjdare alls.

Trots att köttet beställts medium rare så var det så gott som helt genomstekt. Det hade visserligen den där djupa smaken från hängmörat kött som vi älskar, men konsistensen var tuggig och torr och kändes konstig i munnen. Brödet var snyggt, men tyvärr ganska torrt det med, och den äppelträrökta osten låg som ett helt värdelöst lock över hela burgaren. Vi gillade picklesen och baconet, men det var i princip de två bästa sakerna med måltiden. Våra pommes frites var underfriterade, och priset för burgaren med en side låg på 15 pund (cirka 175 kronor), vilket är på tok för mycket för vad vi fick.

Kvalitetsmässigt ligger GBK på i princip samma nivå som Englands andra stora burgarkedja Byron; en stark tvåa som tyvärr inte är bättre än godkänt.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen are real veterans in the UK burger scene, opening their first restaurant in 2001. Since then they’ve expanded into Europe and even the Middle East, and they’ve definitely played a part in the burger craze that’s crept across the globe this millenium.

We ordered a Major Tom with 30 days dry-aged beef, crispy bacon, apple wood smoked cheese, beef ketchup and pickles, and an order of fries for 15 GBP. Despite ordering our patty medium rare, it was more well-done than anything, and even though we could taste the funkyness from the dry-aged beef the texure was dry and chewy. The bun looked nice, but was quite dry as well, and the cheese smothered the patty like a worthless lactose blanket.

We did like the pickles and bacon, but since our fries were undercooked they were the best part of the meal. We expected more at that price-point, to be honest.

🍔 Review № 1381

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @black_bear_burger ★★★★☆

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
