Hellre junkfood än skräpmat

Den superhajpade franska burgarkedjan Junk startade redan 2021 i Paris, och när vi besökte dem för några år sedan var de så pass populära att allt var slutsålt. Nu har de fler än tio restauranger i Frankrike, och de har även expanderat till både Dubai och London. Så vi besökte deras engelska enhet i Soho, som bjöd på maximalt med minimalism. Menyn var kortfattad med en ordinarie burgare, en tryffelburgare och en vegetarisk burgare, och vi beställde en M-dubbelburgare för 10 GBP (125 kronor) och en L-trippelburgare med extra jalapeños för 14 GBP (175 kronor). I övrigt var burgarna väldigt sparsmakade, med små och väldigt tunt smashade köttpuckar, burgarost, burgardressing och extra pickles som tillval.

Våra burgare kom inslagna i folie, och vi satte oss i den sparsmakade restaurangen som var inredd i vitt och borstad metall. Köttet hade en krispig stekyta med lacey edges, som bjöd på massor av smak utan att bli som ett hårt köttchips. De tunna köttpuckarna smakade riktigt gott, men det var svårt att nå några större höjder när det inte var så saftigt och det mesta av smaken kom från stekytan. De tunnskurna picklesen var tunna men väldigt smakrika, med gott om syra och dillsmak. Det kostade inget att lägga till och var ett självklart tillskott. Jalapeñosen kostade visserligen extra, men de tunna skivorna bjöd på massor av krispig hetta som vi uppskattade. Brödet var fluffigt och smörigt, men blev tyvärr ganska mosigt framåt slutet. Vi tyckte dock att den krämiga osten och burgarsåsen var alldeles för anonym, och vi hade önskat lite tydligare smaker här. Dessutom så hade vi föredragit XL-varianten med mer kött för bättre ratio, men det hade kostat mer än det smakat.

Junks burgare är stilrena och smakrika, men vi hade föredragit att de fokuserade på att lyfta fram helheten snarare än sin coola attityd.

In English

The super hyped French burger chain Junk started in Paris back in 2021, and when we visited them a few years ago, they were so popular that everything was sold out. Now they have more than ten restaurants in France, and they have also expanded to both Dubai and London. So we visited their English branch in Soho, which offered maximum minimalism. Their menu was concise, with a regular burger, a truffle burger and a vegetarian burger, and we ordered an M double burger for 10 GBP (13 USD) and an L triple burger with extra jalapeños for 14 GBP (19 USD). Apart from that, our burgers was very clean, with small and very thinly smashed beef patties, burger cheese, burger sauce and extra pickles as optional extras.

Our burgers came wrapped in foil, and we sat down in the spartan restaurant, which was decorated in white and brushed metal. The patties had a crispy crust with lacey edges, which offered lots of beefiness without being like a hard meat chip. The thin beef patties were tasty, but it was difficult to reach any great heights when they weren’t very juicy and most of the flavour came from the crust. The thinly sliced pickles were thin with plenty of yummy acidity and dill flavour. They were a free add-on were an obvious addition. The jalapeños cost extra, but the thin slices offered plenty of crispy heat, which we appreciated. The bun was fluffy and buttery, but unfortunately became quite mushy towards the end. Unfortunately, the creamy cheese and burger sauce were far too bland, and we would have liked some clearer notes here. In addition, we would have preferred the XL version with more beef for a better ratio, but the price was already pretty steep as it was.

Junks’ burgers are stylish and taste nice, but we would have preferred that they’d paid more attention to the burger quality rather than their cool attitude.

🍔 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.
