Lucky Beach Café

Lucky Beach Café i den engelska kuststaden Brighton ser inte ut att vara ett bra burgarhak vid första anblick. De har två restauranger – en i centrala Brighton och en nere på stranden – och den sistnämnda som vi besökte såg ut som en somrig turistfälla. Men de har gjort ett namn för sig på senare år så vi kände att de var värda att testas.

Vi beställde en Lucky Beach Burger för 9 pund (lite över 100 kronor), med ekologiskt kött, misostekt lök, ketchupläder, smält kombu-ost, pickles och umamismör i ett parmesan- och tryffelkryddat briochebröd. Det lät verkligen lovande, men burgaren som serverades bjöd på ännu fler frågetecken.

Köttet var i alla fall perfekt rosastekt och saftigt, med en härligt djup smak. Ketchuplädret – en fyrkantig skiva med torkad tomatsmet – var ett spännande tillskott som gav mycket smak utan att göra burgaren kladdig. Men tyvärr så var allt annat ganska rörigt, och alla ingredienser som löken och umamismöret smälte liksom ihop. Brödet var dessutom ganska stort och täckt med vallmofrön, vilket fick det att kännas lite som en fralla. Det var visserligen rostat på insidan, men då kökpersonalen hade kört en pinne genom hela burgaren så läckte alla köttsafterna ut genom hålet i mitten. Det resulterade i att brödet ändå blev onödigt blött på undersidan.

Deras veganska ”B12-burgare” med blödande vegankött à la Impossible Burger och Beyond Meat var en riktig katastrof, med konstig smak och udda textur. Men trots alla ogenomtänkta missar så smakade i alla fall köttburgaren på Lucky Beach Café riktigt gott. Ambitionsnivån verkar finnas där, så med lite mer finess skulle detta kunna bli en riktig succé.

In English

Lucky Beach Café in Brighton has 2 locations, and we visited the one by the beach overlooking the English Channel. We ordered their Lucky Beach Burger for 9 pounds, with organic beef, miso onions, ketchup leather, kombu cheese fondue, pickles and umami butter in a parmesan truffle brioche. It sounded promising, but the actual burger was a bit of a mess. The patty was excellent though, with loads of flavour and cooked perfectly medium rare. The ketchup leather was nice, giving a lot of tomato flavour without making the burger soggy. But the onions and the butter made up for that, unfortunately, and the skewer that went through the entire burger made the bottom bun soggy with meat juices. What a shame. We also tried their ”bleeding” vegan B12 Burger (à la Impossible Burger or Beyond Meat), but it was awful with a strange taste and an odd texture. At the end of the day, we did like how our meat burger tasted, we just wished it had been handled with a bit more care.

🍔 Review № 1381

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.
