Illegal Burger

Nästan brottsligt dåligt

Förväntningarna inför vårt besök på Illegal Burger i Oslo var skyhöga, särskilt då det har sagts att de serverar den bästa burgaren i Norge. En kvart efter att dörrarna slagits upp hade den ytterst lilla restaurangen fyllts helt. Kön sträckte sig hela vägen ut på gatan, men som tur var tog det inte mer än 20 minuter att få ett bord.

Det blev en dubbel Hot Mama Deluxe för 142 norska kronor – en bjässe med 260 gram kött, bacon, cheddar, barbecuesås, sallad, tomat, lök, guacamole, jalapeños och senap. Vi beställde även potatisklyftor med aioli och en specialbryggd och en riktigt god Illegal Burger-öl från danska Mikkeller.

Burgaren såg aptitlig ut, men när tänderna fastnade i det skosuleliknande köttet vid första tuggan kändes det som att vi var med i dolda kameran. Köttet var hårdpressat och tillagat på kolgrillen alldeles för länge. Det var skrattretande dåligt – sämre än vi brukar få på sunkiga gatukök efter tveksamma beslut mitt i natten. Alla andra komponenter var dock godkända, med krämig ost, knaprigt bacon och ganska saftigt bröd. Men de hjälpte tyvärr inte ett dugg.

Vi vet inte hur det här kunde ske, men det finns absolut inga ursäkter för att servera en så här dålig burgare.

In English

We were in high spirits when we visited the jam-packed Illegal Burger, seeing as we’ve been told that they serve the best burger in Oslo – maybe even Norway. And the double Hot Mama Deluxe with cheese, bacon, jalapeños, barbecue sauce and guacamole looked good. But our hopes were shattered in a second by the hard and overdone patties, which were excruciatingly tough and chewy. No condiments or ingredients in the world can make up for bad meat, and we were left wondering how it all could go so wrong … and how they have maintained such a good reputation.

🍔 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.
