Mat’s Burger

Vi erkänner – vi åkte inte till Torrevieja enbart för att testa burgare. Den sömniga staden på Spaniens östkust kretsar mer kring fisk och apelsiner. Många ställen skyltade med hamburguesa, men det var bara några enstaka som hade det som specialitet. Den lokala befolkningen rekommenderade Mat’s Burger – som enligt egen utsago gjorde äkta amerikanska burgare – så därför begav vi oss dit.

När deras självbetitlade burgare, Mat’s Burger, landade på bordet reagerade vi ungefär som du gjorde när du tittade på bilden: Var är köttet? Men det fanns där, gömt på botten under osten och baconet. Den 140 gram stora köttpucken hade förvånansvärt god grillsmak som tillsammans med den gyllene stekytan på brödet var klart positiva överraskningar. Tyvärr var resten av måltiden mindre positiv. Köttet var tillagat för länge, medan pommes fritesen var tillagade alldeles för kort tid. Baconet var dessutom för tjockt och barbecuesåsen smakade mest ketchup. Och vi ifrågasätter beslutet att ge lökringarna den uppenbara huvudrollen: Hur tänkte de där?

Gourmetburgartrenden har inte nått Torrevieja än och Mat’s Burger imponerade inte. Men vi är ändå inte helt missnöjda, då en burgare och en kall öl på en skuggig gågata i ett soligt Spanien ändå bjuder på en synnerligen trevlig upplevelse.

In English

Torrevieja on the east coast of Spain is not famous for its burgers, but a lot of places serve them and there are a couple of restaurants that specialize in them. The locals recommended Mat’s Burger so we went there to get a feel of the burger scene. The meat was well hidden under cheese and bacon and made the meal look like onion rings and bread. But once found, the meat turned out to have a nice charcoal grilled flavour, but it was also over-cooked and dry. Overall this was a boring burger with several odd choices. The gourmet burger trend has yet to arrive in Torrevieja, so this is probably as good as it gets here. Visit for the atmosphere and the nice staff, not for the burgers.

🍔 Review № 1381

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.
