Truffle Burger är en restaurangkedja som i dagsläget har en handfull runt om i London, med fler öppningar på gång inom stadens gränser. Vi testade deras burgare för första gången i slutet av 2020 och blev då imponerade av deras subtila användning av tryffel även om vi kände att köttet var något överarbetat. Några år senare var det äntligen dags för ett efterlängtat återbesök och vi beställde deras cheeseburgare med 90 dagars hängmörat-kött, ost, pickles, sallad och tryffelburgardressing för 10,30 GBP (140 kronor) tillsammans med tryffel- och parmesanpommesfrites för 4,20 GBP (55 kronor).

Burgaren serverades på ett rejält porslinsfat och såg verkligen elegant och inbjudande ut. Brödet var exemplariskt mjukt och vi såg direkt att insidan hade rostats med rejäla mängder smör vilket vi alltid uppskattar. Det första vi tänkte på när vi väl började äta var den dominerande tryffelsmaken som höll ett stadigt grepp om smakbilden. Som tur var så bjöd tryffeln på en väldigt angenäm smakbild, som var mycket mer tilltalande än alla majonnäser med tryffelolja som vi är rejält trötta på numera. Pickelsen hade en ordentlig syra, men trots detta hade de problem att verkligen bryta igenom de andra smakerna. Tyvärr kunde vi även konstatera att köttet återigen var den svagaste länken, och vi upplevde det alldeles för kompakt för att verkligen ro allting i hamn. Det kändes extra tråkigt med tanke på att det hängmörats så pass länge. Salladen tillförde inte den krispighet som vi hade hoppats på, och bidrog inte med särskilt mycket alls. Tryffel- och parmesanpommesfritesen var i alla fall riktigt trevliga med rejäl smak och ett fint friterat yttre skal.

Om du älskar tryffelsmak på dina burgare så är detta en riktig home run, men för de flesta andra blir Truffle Burger något enformiga och endimensionella.

In English

Truffle Burger is a restaurant chain that currently have a handful of units across London, with more opening soon within the city limits. We first tried their burgers at the end of 2020 and were impressed by their subtle use of truffle, although we felt the meat was slightly overworked. A few years later, it was finally time for a long-awaited return visit and we ordered their Cheeseburger with 90 day dry-aged beef, cheese, pickles, lettuce and a truffle burger sauce for 10.30 GBP (13 USD), along with truffle and parmesan fries for 4.20 GBP (5 USD).

The burger came served on a large porcelain plate and looked really elegant and inviting. The bun was super soft and we immediately saw that they had toasted the inside with plenty of butter which we always appreciate. The first thing we thought of when we started eating was the dominant truffle flavour that was ever-present. Fortunately, the truffle flavour was very pleasant, and much more appealing than all the mayonnaise with truffle oil that we are getting really tired of nowadays. The pickle had a decent acidity, but had trouble breaking through the other flavours. Unfortunately, we also found that the meat was once again the weakest link, and we found it far too compact to really bring everything together. This was extra sad considering that the beef had been dry-aged for so long. The lettuce didn’t add the crispness we had hoped for, and hardly contributed with anything at all. However, the truffle and parmesan fries were really nice, with plenty of flavour and a crisp outer shell.

If you love truffle flavour on your burgers then this is a real home run, but for most others the food from Truffle Burger feels somewhat monotonous and one-dimensional.

Recension från 14 december 2020

Recension skriven av Selin Safer

Londons sprudlande SOHO-kvarter är fyllt till bredden med hippa restauranger, och mitt bland dessa ligger en av Truffles två restauranger. De har ett öppet kök och stilren inredning, vilket inte för tankarna till ett klassiskt burgarhak. Men som namnet avslöjar så har de tryffel i alla sina hamburgare, och om du någonsin har ätit tryffelmajonnäs med för mycket tryffelolja så ringer det kanske en varningsklocka i bakhuvudet när du läser detta, men tryffelmajonnäsen här är verkligen förstklassig.

Vi drogs direkt till dubbelburgaren ”Double Patty Cheeseburger”, som enligt kocken var en tolkning på klassikern Big Mac. Den bestod av två stycken 80-gramspuckar med hängmörat kött, ost, sallad, pickles och burgarsås med tryffel och kostade 10 GBP (115 SEK). Vi beställde även signaturburgaren ”Truffle Burger” för 8,5 GBP (95 SEK) med en 100-gramsköttpuck gjord på 75 % hängmörat kött och 25 % rökt bacon, samt fikonsylt, rostad lök, racletteost och tryffelmajonnäs.

Varenda komponent – allt från det lätta och luftiga brödet till de egenpicklade gurkorna och den subtila användningen av tryffel – var väl balanserade och med utmärkta proportioner. Tyvärr så var själva köttet den svagaste komponenten i vår måltid. Eftersom vi satt vid i baren så kunde vi observera hela tillagningsprocessen, och fick då se hur de överarbetade köttet med händerna innan de smashade det på stekbordet till cirka 1,5 centimeters tjocklek. Köttet serverades visserligen med en röd kärna med mycket safter kvar, men det blev ändå ganska kompakt i och med det hårdhänta förarbetet. Signaturburgaren klarade dock detta tillvägagångssätt bättre i och med den höga fetthalten från baconet.

Truffle har ett öga för detaljer och serverar välsmakande burgare och det enda vi önskade oss var lite mörare kött. Men lyckligtvis har de bevisat en gång för alla att tryffel verkligen hör hemma i så gott som alla burgare, så länge ingrediensen hanteras varsamt och matchas med rätt komponenter.

London’s vibrant SOHO district is filled to the brim with hip restaurants, and one of Truffle’s two restaurants is located in the very centre of this exciting area. They have an open kitchen and sleek interiors that make them stand out against most other burger joints. And just like their name implies, they use truffle in all of their burgers. If you’ve ever eaten a truffle mayo with too much truffle oil you might be deterred by this, but the truffle mayo here is top quality stuff.

We were immediately drawn to the Double Patty Cheeseburger, which the chef described as a homage to the classic Big Mac. It consisted of two 80-gram patties with dry-aged beef, cheese, lettuce, pickles and a truffle dressing and cost 10 GBP (13 USD). We also ordered their signature Truffle Burger for 8.5 GBP (11 USD) with a 100-gram patty made from 75% dry-aged beef and 25% smoked bacon, plus a fig jam, crispy onions, raclette cheese and truffle mayo.

Every component, from the light and fluffy bun to the home-made pickles and the subtle use of truffle, were well-balanced and the proportions were excellent. Unfortunately the weakest link turned out to be the actual beef patties. Since we were seated by the bar we could see the entire cooking process, which revealed that they spent far too long overworking the meat with their hands before smashing it on the griddle to 1.5 cm thick patties. The end result still had a red center and was quite juicy, but ended up overly compact. Thankfully their signature burger was a bit better, thanks to the high fat content from the bacon.

At the end of the day, Truffle have a keen eye for details and serve great tasting hamburgers. The only thing we’d like to improve is the beef, which should and could have been much more tender. At least they’ve proved once and for all that truffle really can work in all kinds of burgers, as long as it’s handled correctly and is matched with all of the other ingredients.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
