Linna Burgers & Coffee

Linna Burgers & Coffee är en burgarkiosk som har öppet under sommarhalvåret vid Åbo slott, och anses av många i Finland servera en av de bästa burgarna i landet. Vi blev därför väldigt glada när vi äntligen fick chansen att testa deras burgare under burgarfestivalen Burger Lovers Festival 2023 i Helsingfors. Deras festivalmeny bestod av tre köttburgare och vi beställde deras cheeseburgare Linna, med en köttpuck på 140 gram, majonnäs, cheddarost, pickles, senap och ketchup för 12 Euro (140 SEK).

Vi reagerade direkt på att burgaren som vi fick serverad hade en köttpuck som nästintill saknade en stekyta, och handen på hjärtat såg det faktiskt mer kokt än stekt ut. En kvalificerad gissning är att de smashar köttet på ett stekbord som inte är tillräckligt varmt. Köttets konsistens förbryllade även den, och upplevdes som ett mellanting mellan en klassisk tjockpuck och en smashad variant. Dessutom hade de översaltat köttet vilket tyvärr gjorde allting till en ganska otrevlig upplevelse. Som tur var lyckades den legendariska smaktrion senap, ketchup och pickles rädda allt från en total katastrof, och vi uppskattade den sötsyrliga pickelsen som faktiskt lyckades bryta genom den feta majonnäsen på ett tillfredställande sätt. Vi hade gärna sett att de hade dragit ner mängden senapen för att förbättra ration ytterligare. Det omfamnande potatisbrödet höll faktiskt ihop allting bra, och hade fått en godkänd lätt rostning på insidan som lyckades hålla sig intakt.

Linna Burgers & Coffee serverade tyvärr en besvikelse till en burgare, och det känns att de måste arbeta på framförallt köttet och deras stekteknik för att närma sig en burgare som håller den kvalitet vi är mer vana vid.

The burger kiosk Linna Burgers & Coffee are open during the summer months at Turku Castle, and have been named one of the best burger joints in Finland. So we were very happy when we finally got the chance to try their burgers during the Burger Lovers Festival 2023 in Helsinki. Their festival menu consisted of three beef burgers and we ordered their Linna cheeseburger with a 140-gram beef patty, cheddar, pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard for 12 EUR (13 USD).

We immediately reacted to the fact that our burger’s patty almost had no crust whatsoever, and to be honest it looked more boiled than fried. Our educated guess is that the griddle they used for smashing the meat wasn’t hot enough. The beef’s texture was a bit strange as well, and felt like a cross between a classic thick patty and a smashed one. It was overly salty as well, making the end result pretty bleak. Thankfully, the legendary flavour trio of mustard, ketchup and pickles managed to save our meal from being a total disaster, although the amount of mustard was a bit excessive. We appreciated that their sweet and tart pickles actually managed to break through the mayonnaise nicely, and the potato bun held together everything well, and was nicely toasted on the inside and held everything together nicely.

Linna Burgers & Coffee’s hamburgers unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype, and they really need to work more with handling the beef and their smashing technique if they want a passing grade from us.

🍔 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.
