Baps är ett smashburgarställe i Belfast på Nordirland som snabbt har gjort ett namn för sig, och de är huvudstadens mest omtalade burgarrestaurang just nu. Vi fick chansen att testa dem på Burger Fest UK där de serverade flera olika burgare, och vi beställde deras simpla Classic-burgare med hängmörat kött, American cheese, sallad, silverlök, pickles och dressing för 10 GBP (130 kronor).

Det gick inte att förneka västkustvibbarna vi fick av burgaren när den serverades med tunt smashade köttpuck tillsammans med salladen och dressingen. Köttet hade en rejäl stekyta som vi uppskattade, och det hade fått en bra omgång av kryddningen. Så smaken satt verkligen, även om vi gärna hade önskat att den hängmörade smaken var mer framträdande. Osten hade smält fint och gav allt lite extra välbehövlig krämighet. Det sesamprydda brödet såg trevligt ut, men var aningen torrt och hälen kämpade för att hålla ihop allting. Picklesen och såsen gav allt en påtaglig syrlighet som skar genom alla feta smaker, vilket gjorde allt roligare och fräschare att äta. Den strimlade salladen bidrog också med en fin krispighet och fräschör, och vi var riktigt nöjda med slutresultatet.

Baps burgare är både enkla och genomtänkta, och vi uppskattade verkligen deras approach. För om man lyckas med att göra en så här enkel burgare rätt så förstår man verkligen grunderna i hur man gör en bra burgare. Vi ser fram emot att åka till Nordirland och besöka deras restaurang i centrala Belfast för att testa mer från deras meny i framtiden, för att se vad de kan prestera på hemmaplan.

Baps is a smashburger joint in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that has quickly made a name for itself, and they are currently the most talked-about burger restaurant in the capital. We had the chance to try them out at the Burger Fest UK where they served several different burgers, and we ordered their simple Classic burger with aged beef, American cheese, lettuce, spring onion, pickles, and dressing for 10 GBP (13.5 USD).

It was impossible to deny the West Coast vibes we got from the burger when it was arrived with its with thinly smashed patty together with the lettuce and dressing. The beef had a nice crust on it that we appreciated, and it had a good amount of seasoning. So the flavour was definitely there, even though we would have liked the dry-aged flavour to be more prominent. The cheese had melted nicely and added a much-needed creaminess to everything. The sesame-seeded bun looked nice, but it was a bit dry and the heel struggled to hold everything together. The pickles and sauce gave everything a noticeable tang that cut through all the fatty flavours, which made everything more fun and fresh to eat. The shredded lettuce also added a nice crunch and crispy freshness, and we were really happy with the end result.

Baps’ burgers are both simple and well-thought-out, and we really appreciated their approach. Because if you can get a burger this simple right, you really understand the basics of how to make a good burger. We look forward to visiting Northern Ireland and their restaurant in central Belfast to try more from their menu in the future, to see what they can do on their home turf.

🍔 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.
