Firebell är beläget i Daechi-dong i det kända Gangnam-området i Koreas huvudstad Seoul. Restaurangen ser ut som en klassisk diner, och vid vårt besök fanns det åtta olika burgare på menyn, och flera av dem innehöll chili eller starka såser.

Vi valde en Habana med vit cheddarost och en majonnäsbaserad sås med hackade jalapeños. Burgarna vi blev serverade såg ganska trista ut med bleka färger och massor av sesamfrön på brödet, men lyckligtvis bedrog skenet. Det stora brödet var fluffigt, lätt rostat och höll ihop bra. De rekommenderade genomstekt kött, vilket vi i efterhand ångrar att vi gick med på då vi hade föredragit det lite mer rosa. Men med det sagt var det ändå saftigt med bra smak. Osten var snyggt smält över köttet, men bidrog inte med så mycket smak.

Starkast intryck, på alla sätt, gjorde jalapeño-majonnäsen som visade sig ha en riktigt generös hetta som lämnade oss svettiga i pannan, men som samtidigt gav mersmak. Den lilla eldsymbolen intill burgarna överdrev verkligen inte. Prisläget var bra: motsvarande 70 kronor för enbart en burgare och 30 kronor extra för en meny med pommes frites och läsk. Vi testade både pommes fritesen och deras cheese sticks, som var godkända men inte så mycket mer än så.

Firebell är en trevlig restaurang med engelsktalande personal och stabila burgare som vi helt klart rekommenderar. Värt att notera är att de har stängt på måndagar.

In English

Firebell is located in Daechi-dong in Gagnam in Seoul. It has got a classic diner style look and feel, and when we visited they had 8 different burgers on the menu and several of them had some sort of chili or hot sauce on them. We went for the Habana with american white cheddar and a mayo based sauce with chopped jalapeño peppers. The burger looked a bit bland, but the looks were deceiving. The bun was on the big side, but it was nice and fluffy and stayed together well. They recommended a medium well patty and we agreed, but in hindsight it was a bit too well done for our liking. The meat was still juicy and had a nice taste though. The real surprise was the jalapeño mayo – after a few bites an intense heat spread from the back of the mouth to, well everything else. It was a nice, warm heat that made you want more, but if you don’t like spicy food you should avoid some of the alternatives on the menu since they truly are fiery hot. We also tried their fries and the cheese sticks and the sides were good, but nothing special. You get a burger for around 8000 won, and fries plus soda for 4000 won extra, so the price is good. The staff was friendly and spoke english so we had no problem getting our orders right. We would gladly come back and warmly recommend a visit when you’re in Seoul. Be aware that they are closed on Mondays.

🇦🇪 @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.
