Soul Coffee Beer ligger i Paiporta, i den södra utkanten av Valencia, och när vi besökte dem under våren 2023 blev vi hänförda av det hängmörade köttet, de kraftiga såserna och det fluffiga brödet. Vi utsåg dem då till en av världens bästa burgare och näst bäst i Spanien. När vi nu återvände med skyhöga förväntningar beställde vi två av deras hamburgare: en Notorious med två 120-gramsköttpuckar, rökt cheddar, bacon, pickles och deras egen burgarsås för 14,5 euro (165 kronor), samt en Hey Ryan med en köttpuck på 200 gram, rökt cheddar, baconsylt, stekt lök och en gochujangmajonnäs för 15,5 euro (175 kronor). Pommes frites ingick i priset.

Burgarna var inte lika kladdiga som vid vårt förra besök, och denna återhållsamhet var en rejäl fördel. Köttet var om möjligt ännu mer smakintensiv, och smakade faktiskt ännu djupare än de 45 dagar som det stod i menyn. Konsistensen påminde fortfarande om en klick varmt smör, samtidigt som det hade en tydlig medium rare-kärna. Brödet var otroligt fluffigt, och höll ihop under hela måltiden – mycket tack vare att de minskat mängden sås. Såserna bröt fortfarande igenom med sina distinkta smaker, särskilt Hey Ryans gochujangmajonnäs – inspirerad av Pizza Loves Emily – som bjöd på en otrolig balans mellan hetta, sötma och syra, utan att ta bort den härliga köttsmaken. Baconsylten gav dock inte samma tydliga texturskillnad som det krispiga baconet i Notorious, som hade en underbar textur och en tydlig rökighet. Tillsammans med pickles och burgarsås blev det en av världens lyxigaste baconburgare.

Soul Coffee Beer serverar en burgare i världsklass, och nu när de har öppnat sin andra restaurang, Street Soul, i centrala Valencia så rekommenderar vi starkt att du bokar ett bord där och njuter av deras skapelser. Men förvänta dig inget kaffe, för det serverar de tydligen inte. Nåväl, vad gör det när burgarna är så här goda?

In English

Soul Coffee Beer is located in Paiporta, on the southern outskirts of Valencia, and when we visited in spring 2023, we were blown away by their beef, rich sauces and fluffy buns. We named them one of the world’s best burgers and second best in Spain. Returning with sky-high expectations, we ordered two of their hamburgers: a Notorious with two 120-gram beef patties, smoked cheddar, bacon, pickles and their own burger sauce for 14.5 EUR (16 USD), and a Hey Ryan with a 200-gram beef patty, smoked cheddar, bacon jam, fried onions and a gochujang mayo for 15.5 EUR (17 USD). French fries were included in the price.

Our burgers were not as messy as during our last visit, which we appreciated. The beef was, if possible, even more intense in flavour, and in fact tasted even deeper than the 45 days listed on their menu. The texture still reminded us of warm butter, while still retaining distinct medium rare centre. The bun was incredibly fluffy, and held together throughout the meal – thanks in large part to the smaller amount of sauce. The sauces still shone through with their distinct flavours, especially Hey Ryan’s gochujang mayo – inspired by Pizza Loves Emily – which offered an incredible balance of heat, sweetness and acidity, without detracting from the lovely meatiness. However, the bacon jam didn’t provide the same distinct textural difference as the crispy bacon in the Notorious, which had a wonderful texture and a distinct smokiness. Along with the pickles and burger sauce, this is one of the most luxurious bacon burgers in the world.

Soul Coffee Beer serve a world-class burgers, and now that they have opened their second restaurant, Street Soul, in the centre of Valencia, we highly recommend you book a table there and enjoy their creations. But don’t expect any coffee, because apparently they don’t serve any. Oh well, we think we’ll manage anyway.

Recension från 12 maj 2023

Recension skriven av Selin Safer

Soul Coffee Beer ligger i Paiporta i södra utkanten av Valencia, och utsågs till Spaniens bästa burgare 2022 av den spanska hamburgerrecensenten Joe Burgerchallenge. Förväntningarna var därför riktigt höga inför vårt besök, men det visade sig att det var helt fullbokat när vi anlände. Som tur var kunde vi beställa takeawayburgare och äta dem direkt utanför restaurangen. Vi beställde två av deras hamburgare; en Notorious med två köttpuckar à 120 gram med 45 dagars hängmörat kött, rökt cheddar, bacon, pickles och deras egen burgarsås för 14,5 EUR (160 kronor) samt en Emmy-nem med 200 gram hängmörat kött, engelsk cheddar, karamelliserad lök och en koreansk gochujangsås för 14 EUR (155 kronor). Pommes frites ingick i priset.

Burgarna var riktigt såsiga skapelser och vi undrade hur det skulle gå att äta dem med värdighet. Första tuggan var som en ren smakexplosion, och köttets intensiva smak och lätta textur påminde nästan om en varm klick smör i munnen då det var så saftigt. Vi bad inte om något specifik tillagningsgrad, men köttet på båda våra burgare hade en utmärkt stekyta samtidigt som de hade en perfekt medium rare-kärna. Den fantastiska kvaliteten lyste verkligen igenom och vi hade svårt att sluta äta. Brödet var snyggt rostat och en riktig lagspelare som inte stack ut särskilt mycket, men framåt slutet av måltiden började det sjunga på sista versen. Den karamelliserade löken var söt och god, och passade riktigt bra med den kryddiga gochujangsåsen i vår Emmy-nem, medan vår Notorious var en perfekt klassiker med krispigt bacon och en knaprig pickle som verkligen stack ut.

Vi lämnade Soul Coffee Beer mätta, belåtna, och med sås ner till armbågarna. Det här var en riktig fullpoängare, och en av våra favoritburgare i Spanien. Hit måste du komma, men se till att boka bord i förväg.

Located in Paiporta, in the southern outskirts of Valencia, Soul Coffee Beer were voted Spain’s best burger in 2022 by the Spanish burger critic Joe Burgerchallenge. Our expectations were high, but it turned out that they were fully booked when we arrived. Fortunately, we could order takeaway burgers and eat them right outside the restaurant. We ordered two hamburgers; a Notorious with two 120-gram 45-day dry-aged beef patties, smoked cheddar, bacon, pickles and their own burger sauce for 14.5 EUR (15.5 USD) and an Emmy-nem with a 200-gram 45-day dry-aged beef patty, English cheddar, caramelised onions and a Korean gochujang sauce for 14 EUR (15 USD). French fries were included in the price.

Our burgers were super saucy, and we wondered how we were going to be able to eat them with any semblance of dignity. The first bite was a pure taste explosion, and the intense flavour and light texture of the meat was almost like eating warm butter as it was so juicy. The patties had a great crust and a perfect medium rare centre. The fantastic quality of the burgers was obvious, and we had a hard time taking a break to gather our thoughts. The bun was nicely toasted and a real team player that didn’t stand out too much, but towards the end of the meal it started to reach its limit. The caramelised onions were sweet and tasty, and went really well with the spicy gochujang sauce in our Emmy-nem, while our Notorious was a perfect classic cheeseburger with crispy bacon and a crunchy pickle that really stood out.

We left Soul Coffee Beer full, satisfied and with sauce covered hands. This was a five-star hamburger, and one of our favourite burgers in Spain. You really need to pay them a visit, but make sure that you book a table in advance.

🍔 Review № 1393

🇸🇪 Mother of Wagon ★★★★☆

Mother of Wagon opened by Arboga’s train station in the summer of 2026, and is actually run by the mother of the owner of The Wagon Burgers & Brews in Stockholm. Besides the clever name, they also offered four burgers, all of which could be made vegetarian. We ordered a Cheeseburger with two 100-gram mustard-smashed beef patties, cheddar, onions, pickles, ketchup and dressing in a brioche bun. It cost 130 SEK (14 USD), and we also added fries for 30 SEK (3 USD).

The burger looked really good when it arrived, even if it had been assembled somewhat hastily with a lot of sauce. The flavours worked well, but all that sauce made it a little difficult to eat as the patties kept sliding around. The beef from a local farm in Örebro was generously seasoned and had plenty of flavour. However, it had been slightly overworked and was a bit too compact, and we would’ve preferred a more airy texture. The cheese had melted nicely over the patties, and we also appreciated that the fluffy bun had been nicely toasted on the inside, helping it hold together throughout the meal. We liked the finely chopped onions, while the pickles were crunchy, if slightly sweet. Although the mustard smash added plenty of flavour to the beef, we would’ve appreciated the acidity of American yellow mustard instead of the fairly sweet burger sauce. The fries came in a very generous portion and were thick and well-cooked, but slightly too heavily salted.

Mother of Wagon has managed to build a really solid foundation in just a few months, and the friendly staff also contributed to the experience. We’re really happy that it’s now possible to get a good burger in central Arboga.
