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.

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.

🍔 Review № 1397

🇺🇸 @localtide ★★★★☆

Local Tide is a hyped fish restaurant in central Seattle. And while most of the menu focuses on seafood, their burger has also become a bit of a talking point. They don’t take reservations, and when we arrived there were around 20 people queuing outside the small restaurant, with an hour-long wait. Luckily, there was space next door at Aslan Brewing, which served their burger and a handful of other dishes from Local Tide. We ordered their Smash Burger with beef, cheese, caramelised onions and mayo in a brioche bun for 10 USD, as well as a portion of Salt and Pepper Fries for 8 USD. We also tried their Salmon Sando for 16 USD.

After waiting around an hour for our food, our burger arrived neatly presented on a small plate. The bun looked a little flat but was lighter and fluffier than we’d expected. The beef was incredibly juicy and well salted, while the cheese was both creamy and flavourful. The caramelised onions were packed with umami and really enhanced the flavour of the beef. Both the bun and beef had a decent crust, although both could’ve been cooked a little more. Our main critique was that the burger would’ve been even better with a few more crispy components, and perhaps a bit bigger. The fries were like potato wedges and were incredibly well cooked. The generous portion was crispy and well seasoned, and their homemade ketchup was really tasty. The 16 USD salmon burger also impressed us with its fresh salmon fillet, great textures and fresh flavours.

It’s great to see a seafood restaurant serving burgers as good as the ones at Local Tide. The other seafood dishes are of course also worth trying, but make sure to arrive early and be prepared to wait a while for your food.
