Manna från burgarhimlen

Manna är en av åtta restauranger i den stora och påkostade foodcourten Arcade Food Hall i centrala London, precis intill tunnelbanestationen Tottenham Court Road. Deras hajpade burgare säljs även i bagerikaféet Bake Street i Hackney under helgerna, men här serveras burgarna varje dag. Och centralt dessutom. Alla beställningar i Arcade Food Hall sker via telefonen, och vi beställde båda deras standardburgare: en dubbel Smash Burger med ost, pickles, hackad lök, senap, ketchup och majonnäs, samt en dubbel Hot One med dubbel ost, picklade jalapeños, pickles, Manna-sås och en chiliolja. Båda dubbelburgarna kostade 13 GBP (165 kronor) styck, och vi beställde även Waffle Fries för 5 GBP (65 kronor).

Våra burgare anlände väldigt snabbt, och vi möttes av två ganska snyggt sammansatta skapelser. Burgarna såg ganska enkla ut, men var fullproppade med smak. Crusten på köttet var fenomenal, och det var dessutom utmärkt kryddat. Ingrediensmässigt så var cheeseburgaren klassiskt välbalanserad, medan Hot One-burgaren bjöd på en behaglig hetta. Brödet smakade smörigt och hade rostats snyggt på insidan, och vi gillade den härligt smälta osten samt crunchet och smaken från deras pickles. Det enda riktiga problemet var att burgarna var väldigt slafsiga och hade svårt att hålla ihop, vilket gjorde måltiden ganska svåräten. Våra waffle fries var matiga, krispiga och hade en väldigt god cajunkryddning.

Manna serverar vällagade smashburgare och Arcade Food Hall är dessutom en riktigt trevlig och otroligt central destination. Och arkadmaskinerna på free play i källaren ger dem såklart ett litet plus i kanten.

In English

Manna are one of eight restaurants in the large and lavish Arcade Food Hall in central London, just off Tottenham Court Road underground station. Their much-hyped burgers are also sold at the Bake Street café in Hackney during weekends, but here you can get them every day in a central location. All orders are placed with your phone, and we ordered both of their standard burgers: a double Smash Burger with cheese, pickles, chopped onions, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise, and a double Hot One with double cheese, pickled jalapeños, pickles, Manna sauce and chilli oil. Both double burgers cost 13 GBP (16 USD) each, and we also ordered some Waffle Fries for 5 GBP (6 USD).

Our burgers arrived very quickly and looked very inviting. Our hamburgers looked quite simple, but were packed with flavours. The crust on the patties was phenomenal, and the meat had been excellently seasoned. Ingredient-wise, our cheeseburger was well-balanced, while the Hot One burger offered a pleasant heat. The bread was buttery and nicely toasted on the inside, and we liked the deliciously melted cheese and the crunch from their pickles. The only real problem was that the burgers were quite sloppy and had difficulty holding together throughout our meal. Our waffle fries were thick, crispy and had a very good cajun seasoning.

Manna serve great smash burgers and Arcade Food Hall is also an appealing and very central destination. And the free play arcade machines in the basement give them an extra edge as well.

🍔 Review № 1397

🇺🇸 @localtide ★★★★☆

Local Tide is a hyped fish restaurant in central Seattle. And while most of the menu focuses on seafood, their burger has also become a bit of a talking point. They don’t take reservations, and when we arrived there were around 20 people queuing outside the small restaurant, with an hour-long wait. Luckily, there was space next door at Aslan Brewing, which served their burger and a handful of other dishes from Local Tide. We ordered their Smash Burger with beef, cheese, caramelised onions and mayo in a brioche bun for 10 USD, as well as a portion of Salt and Pepper Fries for 8 USD. We also tried their Salmon Sando for 16 USD.

After waiting around an hour for our food, our burger arrived neatly presented on a small plate. The bun looked a little flat but was lighter and fluffier than we’d expected. The beef was incredibly juicy and well salted, while the cheese was both creamy and flavourful. The caramelised onions were packed with umami and really enhanced the flavour of the beef. Both the bun and beef had a decent crust, although both could’ve been cooked a little more. Our main critique was that the burger would’ve been even better with a few more crispy components, and perhaps a bit bigger. The fries were like potato wedges and were incredibly well cooked. The generous portion was crispy and well seasoned, and their homemade ketchup was really tasty. The 16 USD salmon burger also impressed us with its fresh salmon fillet, great textures and fresh flavours.

It’s great to see a seafood restaurant serving burgers as good as the ones at Local Tide. The other seafood dishes are of course also worth trying, but make sure to arrive early and be prepared to wait a while for your food.
