Street Smash leder Portugals nya våg av burgarhak. De öppnade i Lissabon tidigt under 2024, och har redan hunnit etablera sig rejält med 10 restauranger i Lissabon och Porto, samt en handfull internationella enheter i Zürich och Milano. Vi kände tydligt igen influensen från Dumbo i Paris, ledaren inom de franska, ultrasmashade burgarna. Lokalen var stilren och menyn otroligt kort, med tre olika burgare som alla innehöll dubbla 90-gramsköttpuckar och ost. Street Burger innehöll lök, pickles, senap och ketchup för 10 euro (110 kronor), Classic Burger innehöll sallad, lök, tomat, pickles och Street-sås för 11 euro (120 kronor) och Bacon Burger innehöll bacon, pickle-relish och hemlig sås för 12 euro (130 kronor). Vi uppgraderade till en combo, där pommes frites – vanliga eller sötpotatis – och läsk ingick för ytterligare 4 euro (45 kronor).

Burgarna serverades på små pappersfat och höll en låg profil. De tunna köttpuckarna hade riktigt frasiga kanter, men trots deras rejäla lacy edges så var de saftiga i mitten, med en mör och smakrik kärna. Street Burger var välbalanserad med en frisk syra från senapen och ketchupens lätta sötma. Löken vågade ta plats utan att bli för stark, men vi önskade att picklesen hade varit tjockare för att bidra med mer krisp. Det knapriga baconet i Bacon Burger bidrog med en härlig smak och textur, men smakbilden lutade åt det mer söta hållet. Därför blev Classic Burger vår favorit av de tre, med sin föredömligt tunna tomatskiva och den krispiga och riktigt fräscha salladen. Det ganska stora brödet smakade riktigt gott, men hade verkligen kommit till sin rätt om det rostats hårdare. Pommes fritesen var goda och krispiga, och portionen var dessutom generös. Sötpotatispommesfritesen var också ett utmärkt alternativ.

Street Smash visar att det går att servera saftiga ultratunna burgare utan att tappa kvalitet, och vi följer deras utveckling och expansion genom Europa med stor nyfikenhet.

In English

Street Smash is leading Portugal’s new wave of burger joints. They opened in Lisbon in early 2024 and have already established themselves firmly with 10 restaurants in Lisbon and Porto, as well as a handful of international outlets in Zürich and Milan. We clearly recognised the influence of Dumbo in Paris, the leader in French, ultra-smashed burgers. The restaurant was stylish and the menu incredibly short, with three different burgers, all containing double 90-gram patties and cheese. The Street Burger contained onions, pickles, mustard and ketchup for 10 EUR (11.5 USD), the Classic Burger had lettuce, onions, tomato, pickles and Street sauce for 11 EUR (13 USD), and the Bacon Burger had bacon, pickle relish and secret sauce for 12 USD (14 USD). We upgraded to a combo, which included french fries – regular or sweet potato – and soda for an additional 4 EUR (4.5 USD).

The burgers were served on small paper plates and kept a low profile. The crispy patties had been smashed thinly, but despite their substantial lacy edges, they were juicy in the middle with a tender and flavourful centre. The Street Burger was well balanced with a fresh acidity from the mustard and the slight sweetness of the ketchup. The onion dared to take centre stage without being too strong, but we wished the pickles had been thicker to add more crunch. The crispy bacon in the Bacon Burger added a delicious flavour and texture, but the taste leaned towards the sweeter side. So the Classic Burger was our favourite of the three, with its perfectly thin slice of tomato and crisp, really fresh salad. The pretty large bun was really tasty, but would have been even better if it had been toasted a bit more. The fries were good and crispy, and the portion was generous too. The sweet potato fries were also an excellent choice.

Street Smash are proving that it is possible to serve juicy, ultra-thin burgers without compromising on quality, and we will be following their development and expansion across Europe with great interest.

🇦🇪 @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.
