Beach har stängt sin verksamhet.

Beach öppnade 2019 i Gerdska Strand i Alingsås, och den lilla burgarrestaurangen utlovar enkla och hantverksmässigt tillagade hamburgare bredvid vattnet. Menyn bestod av fyra köttburgare och halloumiburgare, och köttburgarna hade oftast 120-gramsköttpuckar. Vi fastnade dock för deras Dubbel Cheese med två smashade köttpuckar à 80 gram, dubbel cheddar, hackad lök, pickles, senap och ketchup för 119 kronor. Att uppgradera till en läsk och pommes frites kostade 20 kronor extra.

Tyvärr så såg vår burgare ganska sorglig ut när den anlände, och den halvsmälta cheddarosten var en tydlig indikation på kökets bristande intresse. Vid första tuggan upptäckte vi ytterligare bekymmer, då köttet hade den trista kombinationen av att vara ganska torra samtidigt som stekytan var riktig svag. Köttet hade inte heller kryddats tillräckligt mycket för att smakerna skulle lyfta, och vi hade gärna sett mer salt och peppar, samt en mycket bättre crust såklart. Det brukar gå att lita på att briochebröd är fluffiga och smakrika, men här hade det blivit fnasigt och lite torrt, och föll snabbt isär. Balansen mellan de andra tillbehören var åtminstone godkänd och deras pickles hade i alla fall ett rejält krisp och en fin syra som lyste igenom.

Vi hade hoppats på att Beach skulle bjuda på en enkel och vällagad hantverksburgare, men såväl kvaliteten som kompositionen resulterade snarare i att vi kände oss strandsatta efter måltiden.

In English

Beach opened in 2019 by Gerdska Strand in Alingsås, and the small restaurant promises simple and artisanal burgers by the water. Their menu consisted of four beef burgers and one halloumi burger, and most of the beef burgers had 120-gram patties. However, we found ourselves drawn to their classic cheeseburger Dubbel Cheese, with two smashed 80-gram beef patties, double cheddar, chopped onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard for 119 SEK (11.5 USD). Upgrading to a menu with a soft drink and french fries cost an extra 20 SEK (2 USD).

Unfortunately, our burger looked pretty sad when it arrived, and the half-melted cheddar was a clear indication of the kitchen’s lack of interest. Our first bite led to even more concerns, as the meat had the unfortunate combination of being quite dry and having a pretty weak crust. The patties hadn’t been seasoned enough either, and we would have liked more salt and pepper to lift he flavours. Brioche buns are usually fluffy and flavourful, but this one was crumbly and a little dry, and quickly started to fall apart. The other ingredients were well-balanced, and we really enjoyed the crunch and acidity from their pickles.

We had hoped that Beach would offer a simple and well-prepared artisanal burger, but both the quality and composition were a bit of a shipwreck.

🍔 Review № 1381

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @black_bear_burger ★★★★☆

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.
