Burger Bear har stängt sin verksamhet.

Burger Bear ligger i en av Londons absolut coolaste streetfoodställen, nämligen Magic Roundabout precis ovanför tunnelbanestationen Old Road i hipstertäta Shoreditch. Pionjären Tom Reaney (även känd som Burger Bear Tom) har finansierat bygget via en Kickstarter-kampanj, och nu står det en massa containrar mitt i rondellen. Där spelas discomusik från öppning till stängning, samtidigt som de serverar mat och dryck från några av de hetaste ställena.

Här finns såklart även en Burger Bear (som även har restauranger i Peckham och Stoke Newington), och valet föll på en Grizzly Bear – en cheeseburgare med rökt bacon och deras egentillverkade baconsylt. De överdimensionerade baconskivorna var härligt möra och ljuvligt salta, och baconsylten var nog den godaste jag har testat på, med en kraftig sötma, sälta och kaffesmak. Den saftiga köttpucken bjöd på goda smaker, men var aningen för välstekt. Samtidigt var brödet färskt och höll sig bra, trots att undersidan inte var rostad.

Det känns främst som att det är småmissar som gör att Burger Bear inte blir en fullpottare, men i och med att London förmodligen är Europas främsta burgarstad finns det inget utrymme för misstag. Oavsett detta ligger de ändå i toppskiktet, och discomusiken som ständigt spelas är bara det skäl nog för ett återbesök.

In English

Located in the fantastical Magic Roundabout – a street food venue on top of the Old Road underground station in Shoreditch – the pioneering Burger Bear stands out from the London crowd. The Grizzly Bear burger stunned us with its excellently cooked bacon and delectable bacon jam. The patty tasted great but was somewhat overcooked, and the bottom bun should have been heated. But despite this we were extremely impressed, and we’ll definitely be coming back – not only for the burgers and the incredibly cool location but also for the disco music that’s constantly playing.

🍔 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.
