Rekas Burgers slog upp dörrarna till sin första restaurang i södra Malmö redan 2019 och blev snabbt en lokal favorit. Vi är vana vid att folk berättar för oss att deras hemmafavorit är en av landets bästa, men i det här fallet så stämde det faktiskt och de har haft en speciell plats i våra burgarhjärtan redan från första tuggan. Sedan 2023 finns de även i Lund, med flera storslagna expansionsplaner på gång. De har många burgare på menyn, och under vårt senaste besök testade vi Malmö Smash med dubbla köttpuckar, cheddar, pickles, karamelliserad lök och majonnäs, och Brorsan med dubbla köttpuckar, dubbel cheddar, picklad rödlök, karamelliserad lök, friterade jalapeños och majonnäs. Burgarna kostade 120 kronor styck, och en meny med pommes frites och en läsk kostade 140 kronor.

Det har verkligen märkts att Rekas Burgers har steppat upp sitt burgargame de senaste åren, och köttpuckarna hade nu en helt magisk stekyta som få restauranger kan mäta sig med. Köttet var krispigt och rejält kryddat, och kombinationen av härlig maillardeffekt, salt och peppar gav köttpuckarna ett rejält tryck i smakerna. Just köttet kom från deras egen köttbutik som ligger vägg i vägg, där de även har hängmörningskylar som verkligen visar den höga kvaliteten. Malmö Smashs nytolkning av en modern cheeseburgare var otroligt smakrik, och de friterade jalapeñosen i Brorsan kändes som en värmande kram. Brödet var mjukt på utsidan med ett frasigt bett inuti tack vare smörrostningen, och de andra ingredienserna samspelade snyggt med varandra, med vältempererade grönsaker och smakrika såser. Dessutom så var pommes fritesen frasiga på utsidan, krämiga på insidan och otroligt mättande.

Rekas Burgers serverar Skånes bästa burgare (och nu en av världens bästa), och vi är glada över att de har blivit allt mer ambitiösa för varje år som går.

In English

Rekas Burgers opened their first restaurant in southern Malmö back in 2019 and quickly became a local favourite. We’re used to people telling us their home favourite is one of the best in the country, but in this case it was actually true and they’ve had a special place in our burger hearts from our very first bite. In 2023 they also opened in Lund, and they have several grand expansion plans in the pipeline. Their menu includes lots of different burgers, and during our latest visit we tried the Malmö Smash with double beef patties, double cheddar, pickles, caramelised onions and mayo, and the Brorsan with double beef patties, double cheddar, pickled red onions, caramelised onions, fried jalapeños and mayo. The burgers cost 120 SEK (11 USD) each, and a menu with fries and a soft drink cost 140 SEK (13 USD).

It’s clear that Rekas Burgers have stepped up their burger game in recent years, and the beef patties now had a magical crust that few restaurants can match. The patties were crispy and heavily seasoned, and the combination of a lovely maillard effect, salt and pepper gave the beef a real burst of flavour. The meat came from their own butcher’s shop, which is located next door, where they also have dry-aging refrigerators that showcase the high quality. Malmö Smash’s reinterpretation of a modern cheeseburger was incredibly flavourful, and the fried jalapeños in Brorsan felt like a warming hug. The bun was soft on the outside with a crispy bite inside thanks to being toasted in butter, and the other ingredients interacted nicely with each other, with well-tempered vegetables and tasty sauces. The fries were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside and incredibly filling.

Rekas Burgers serve the best burgers in Skåne, and we are pleased to see that they are getting more ambitious with every year.

20 oktober 2021, Rekas Burgers

Ny herre på täppan i Malmö.

Rekas Burgers slog upp dörrarna i södra Malmö under 2019 och fick snabbt ett gott rykte om att servera bra hamburgare, och vi har fått många tips om dem genom åren. I utbudet finns hela 18 hamburgare att välja mellan, varav ett vegetariskt alternativ i form av en halloumiburgare. När vi besökte dem beställde vi in en Malmö Smash som innehöll två 100-gramsköttpuckar, dubbel cheddar, pickles, egen majonnäs samt talg- och smörkaramelliserad lök. Den kostade 120 kronor inklusive pommes frites och en läsk. Under lunchen säljer de även en burgarmeny för ynka 79 kronor, vilket är bland det billigaste vi har sett för en högkvalitativ burgarrestaurant.

Hamburgaren såg fin ut vid ankomst, utan att beskyllas för att vara en skönhet. Det mjuka brödet var fint rostat och hamburgaren låg bra i handen trots sin ganska rejäla storlek. Och vi behövde inte ta mer än en tugga för att förstå varför de har blivit så pass populära.  Hela burgaren var formidabelt balanserad, och vi uppskattade verkligen den subtila hettan från deras egen majonnäs och hur den kontrasterade sötman från löken. Cheddarosten var ordentligt smält och bidrog med härlig krämighet. Men den stora stjärnan var köttet; en blandning av högrev och bringa som hängmörats i den egna butiken som ligger vägg i vägg. Köttet var rejält smashat med en ordentlig stekyta, men var ändå saftigt och riktigt smakrikt. Det var så gott att vi blev lite lyriska.

Det känns kul att det fortsätter att öppna nya utmanare i Sverige, och vi lämnade Rekas Burgare med en ny herre på täppan i Malmö.

Rekas Burgers opened in the south parts of Malmö back in 2019. They quickly made a name for themselves and we’ve received a lot of tips about them over the last few years. When we visited them they had a whopping 18 burgers on their menu, including a vegetarian option in form of a halloumi burger. We ordered a Malmö Smash with two 100-gram beef patties, double cheddar, pickles, house mayo plus tallow- and butter caramelized onions. It cost 120 SEK (14 ISD) including french fries and a soft drink. During lunch hours they serve a burger menu for as little as 79 SEK (9 USD), which is among the cheapest we’ve seen for a high-quality burger restaurant.

Our burger looked nice when they served it, but was perhaps not the prettiest one we’ve seen. The soft bun was nicely toasted and the burger itself felt great in our hands, despite being quite large. And we didn’t need more than one bite to realise why they are so popular, because the entire burger was excellently balanced. We really appreciated the subtle heat from their own mayo and how it contrasted with the sweet onions. The cheddar was excellently melted as well, making everything nice and creamy. But the shining star was their beef; a 80/20 blend of chuck and brisket that they dry-age in their meat shop next door. The patties were thinly smashed with a great crust, while still being really juicy and flavoursome. It tasted so good that we left Rekas Burger with a warm, fuzzy feeling.

It’s great to see that new challengers keep opening in Sweden, and Rekas Burgare serve the best burger we’ve eaten so far in Malmö.

🍔 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.
