Puls Street Food & Bar är en liten restaurang i centrala Gävle, ett stenkast från Stortorget. Utanför restaurangen spelades hög elektronisk musik, men så fort vi klev in lugnade stämningen ner sig. Och trots neonskyltar och discolampor var lokalen oväntat mysig. På menyn fanns närmare tio olika burgare och vi beställde två av dem: Det blev en Puls Cheese med cheddar, silverlök, egengjorda pickles, ketchup och majonnäs och en Kiss Me Later 2.0 med cheddar, bacon, friterade lökringar, sallad och vitlökssås. Båda burgarna innehåll 150 gram kött och kostade 189 kronor styck, inklusive pommes frites och en Boom Boom-dipp.

Burgarna serverades snabbt och såg riktigt inbjudande ut, även om Kiss Me Later tornade upp sig lite väl högt och blev lite svåräten på grund av lökringarna. Köttet var något ojämnt stekt mellan burgarna, och vår Puls Cheese hade både bättre stekyta och trevligare textur. Brödet var förvånansvärt fluffigt och vi tror att det utan problem hade klarat även en dubbelburgare. Cheeseburgaren var avskalad på bästa sätt, men även om vi uppskattade enkelheten så hade vi gärna sett en klassisk gul amerikansk senap för lite extra syra. De egengjorda picklesen var fräscha och krispiga, men silverlöken var skuren så grovt att den blev svår att bita igenom och drog ner helhetsupplevelsen. Kiss Me Later 2.0 hade en rolig kombination av ingredienser, men vi önskade att smakerna tog för sig mer. Framför allt saknade vi en tydlig vitlökssmak från såsen. Pommes fritesen var i alla fall välfriterade, salta och riktigt goda. Boom Boom-dippen var dessutom en av måltidens höjdpunkter – krämig, smakrik och nästan beroendeframkallande.

Puls Street Food & Bar är en liten oas mitt i Gävle, och när du väl har tagit dig in väntar en riktigt trevlig burgarupplevelse mitt i stan.

In English

Puls Street Food & Bar is a small restaurant in central Gävle, just a stone’s throw from Stortorget. Outside the restaurant, loud electronic music was playing, but as soon as we stepped inside, the atmosphere calmed down. And despite the neon signs and disco lights, the place was surprisingly cosy. There were about ten different burgers on the menu, and we ordered two of them: a Puls Cheese with cheddar, white onions, homemade pickles, ketchup and mayo, and a Kiss Me Later 2.0 with cheddar, bacon, onion rings, lettuce and garlic sauce. Both burgers had a 150 gram beef patty and cost 189 SEK (19.5 USD) each, including fries and a Boom Boom dip.

Our burgers were served quickly and looked very appetising, even though the Kiss Me Later was a bit tall and difficult to eat due to the onion rings. The patties were cooked unevenly between the two burgers, and our Puls Cheese had a better crust and a nicer texture. The bun was surprisingly fluffy, and we think it could have handled a double-patty burger without any issues. The cheeseburger was stripped down to its bare essentials, but even though we appreciated the simplicity, we would have liked to have seen a classic yellow American mustard for a bit more acidity. The homemade pickles were fresh and crispy, but the white onions were cut so coarsely that they were hard to bite through and brought down the overall experience. The Kiss Me Later 2.0 had a fun combination of ingredients, but we wished the flavours had been more pronounced. For example, we were missing a clear garlic flavour from the sauce. The fries, on the other hand, were well-cooked, nicely seasoned and really tasty. The Boom Boom dip was also one of the highlights of the meal – creamy, flavourful, and almost addictive.

Puls Street Food & Bar is a small oasis in the middle of Gävle, and once you’ve made it inside, you’re in for a really nice burger experience right in the middle of town.

🍔 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.
