När vi testade Naughty Brgr för gången 2019 var de utan tvekan ett av de mest hajpade burgarhaken i hela Finland. Idag är de inte riktigt samma snackis, trots att de har fler än tio restauranger runt om i landet och har uppdaterat menyn med smashburgare. Vi beställde en Double Cheese med två 80-gramsköttpuckar, cheddar, silverlök, pickles, senap och ketchup för för knappt 13 euro (145 kronor). I priset ingick även en portion pommes frites.

Burgaren serverades i en pappersficka och vid första anblick såg ration nästintill perfekt ut. Men brödet var tyvärr inte alls så följsamt och luftigt som vi hade hoppats på. Ett ganska vanligt problem när hamburgerrestauranger använder samma bröd till burgare med både tjocka och smashade köttpuckar är att de lätt hamnar i något slags ingenmansland där inget passar, och detta gällde även här. Texturen var i alla fall riktigt trevlig, och som tur var så satt alla smakerna ganska fint, och de klassiska kombinationerna av ingredienser gjorde att cheeseburgarkänslan var tydlig. Köttet kunde ha kryddats lite mer för att sticka ut, men räddades av deras kraftiga pickles. Vi hade gärna sett lite mer syra för att lyfta smakupplevelsen och göra den mer intressant, men den isade silverlöken bidrog i alla fall med en riktigt härlig krispighet. Även pommes fritesen var helt klart godkända; trevligt friterade och salta med en rejäl potatissmak.

Naughty Brgr serverar trevliga smashburgare, och om de hade anpassat sitt bröd lite bättre och jobbat lite mer på detaljerna så hade detta varit en av de bättre klassiska cheeseburgarna i Helsingfors. Men nu var de fortfarande mer snälla än stygga, precis som förra gången.

When we first tested Naughty Brgr in 2019, they were without a doubt one of the most hyped burger joints in all of Finland. Today, the buzz isn’t quite the same, despite them having more than ten restaurants around the country and updating their menu with smash burgers. We ordered a Double Cheese with two 80-gram beef patties, cheddar, white onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard for just under EUR 13 (14 USD). The price also included a portion of french fries.

Our burger came in a paper pocket and at first glance the ratios looked almost perfect. But the bun wasn’t as soft and airy as we’d hoped. A fairly common problem when burger restaurants use the same bun for burgers with both thick and smashed patties is that they easily end up in some kind of limbo where nothing fits, and this was also the case here. At least the texture was nice, and luckily all the flavours were present, and the classic combination of ingredients created that tasty cheeseburger experience. The beef could have been seasoned a bit more to make it stand out, but the flavours were saved by their pickles. We would have liked a little more acidity to lift the flavour experience and make it more interesting, but the iced white onions added a really nice crunch. The fries were also very good; well cooked and salty with a distinct potato flavour.

Naughty Brgr serve nice smash burgers, and if they had adapted their bun a little better to the burger and worked a little more on the details, this would have been one of the better classic cheeseburgers in Helsinki. But now they were still more good than naughty, just like last time.

Recension från 03 juli 2019

Recension skriven av Linus Josephson

Naughty Brgr är ett av de mer hajpade finska burgarhaken just nu. De har flera runt restauranger runtom i Finland – bland annat i Helsingfors, Esbo och Tammerfors – vilket även gör dem till en av de mest framträdande aktörerna på den finska marknaden. Första gången vi fick testa deras burgare var på burgarfestivalen Burger Lovers Festival 2019 i Helsingfors.

De hade två miniburgare på menyn under festivalen; husburgaren NAUGHTY samt den vegetariska Shroom-burgaren, som kostade fem euro vardera. Vi testade deras NAUGHTY-burgare med cheddarost, Saint Agur-blåmögelost, baconsylt, ruccola och aioli. Det här var verkligen en händelserik hamburgare som bjöd på många olika smaker – på både gott och ont.

Brödet hade ett tillfredsställande stuns och bett, men det blev snabbt uppenbart att stjärnan i burgarens konstruktion var baconsylten som gav hela måltiden en trevligt rundad smak. Sylten hjälpte även till att kontrollera smaken från blåmögelosten så att den inte stack iväg allt för mycket. Vi är inte i regel inte fantaster av vare sig blåmögelost eller ruccola på hamburgare, men här fungerade de faktiskt förvånansvärt bra tillsammans.

Köttet var tyvärr den stora besvikelsen här. Pucken hade en ganska lös sammansättning vilket vi visserligen gillar, men det fanns en seghet i bettet som skvallrade om att det legat på varmhållning en stund innan servering. Vi tyckte även hela burgaren, och köttet i synnerhet, var lite undersaltad.

Naughty Brgr bjöd på både besvikelser och en del positiva överraskningar. Vi vet inte om köttet får utstå varmhållning på deras restauranger, men vi hoppas att så inte är fallet med tanke på att grundsmaken faktiskt är riktigt god. Vi hoppas de tar kvaliteten på större allvar i framtiden, oavsett om burgarna serveras på en matfestival eller på en restaurang.

Naughty BRGR is one of the most hyped burger joints in Finland at the moment. They’re also located in several Finnish cities, such as Helsinki, Espoo and Tampere, making them one of the more prominent hamburger restaurants in Finland. We first tried their burgers at Burger Lovers Festival 2019 in Helsinki.

They sold two mini burgers at the festival – the house burger NAUGHTY and a vegetarian Shroom burger, both costing 5 euros each. We ordered their NAUGHTY burger with cheddar, Saint Agur blue cheese, bacon jam, arugula lettuce and aioli. And all of these ingredients really created a lot of flavours.

The bun felt sufficiently bouncy and fresh, but it quickly became obvious that the bacon jam was the real star here, really balancing out the flavours of the entire meal. It mellowed out the blue cheese as well. To be honest we’re not the biggest fans of either rocket or blue cheese on burgers, but here they worked surprisingly well together.

Unfortunately we were left disappointed by the meat. The patty was soft and airy, which we appreciated, but it was also chewy and rubbery, a tell-tale sign of it resting for too long. We also felt that the entire burger (and the patty in particular) could have done with a bit more salt.

Naughty BRGR gave us a few disappointments and a couple of nice surprises. We don’t know if they let their patties rest this long at their actual restaurants, but we hope not seeing as the overall quality was pretty good. Fingers crossed that they’ll focus more on quality in the future, no matter if it’s at their burger restaurants or at a food festival.

🍔 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.
