Fläskigt värre

Bröderna Halldén drev tidigare Stenhusa Krog på Öland, och 2021 flyttade de till den mer tätbefolkade centralorten Mörbylånga på sydvästra delen av ön – nu under namnet Lilla Bistron. Restaurangen var stilrent inredd och på burgarmenyn samsades en handfull köttburgare, samt både en vegetarisk och en vegansk variant. Vårt val föll på en Guldtrast med ost, bacon och dragonmajonnäs samt en Rosenfink med ost, silverlök, jalapeños och majonnäs. Båda burgarna kostade 159 kronor styck, inklusive en rejäl portion pommes frites.

Burgarna serverades i en korg och var omsorgsfullt monterade, med en utmärkt ratio mellan de olika ingredienserna. Precis innan vi började äta så frågade vi den trevliga personalen om köttets ursprung, och fick reda på att det visserligen var lokalt men att det innehöll en blandning av nötkött och fläskkött – tydligen för ökad smak och saftighet. Vi tyckte att detta var märkligt, särskilt då det inte stod i menyn eller kommunicerades på något sätt. Köttet smakade inte heller särskilt mycket fläsk, men det blev heller inte nämnvärt saftigare eller mer smakrikt utan det var snarare så att det kändes lite finmalet och kompakt. I övrigt var det goda smaker med ett fåtal väl utvalda ingredienser som passade fint ihop med varandra. Osten var krämig, briochebrödet var fint uppvärmt och vår Guldtrast hade knaprigt bacon och en riktigt smakrik dragonmajonnäs, medan Rosenfink bjöd på lite hetta och hade ett trevligt krisp från silverlöken. Pommes fritesen var dessutom välfriterade med lagom sälta.

Lilla Bistrons burgare lämnade oss lite förbryllade, främst på grund av köttet. Vi är inte kategoriskt emot att frångå nötfärs, men då måste det finnas verkliga fördelar – och detta var inget vi märkte av under vårt besök. Vi ser dock fram emot att besöka dem igen, denna gång lite mer förberedda på vad de serverar.

In English

The Halldén bothers previously ran Stenhusa Krog on Öland, and in 2021 they moved to the more densely populated central town of Mörbylånga, which is located in the southwestern part of the island – now under the name Lilla Bistron. The restaurant was stylishly decorated and the burger menu included a handful of meat burgers, as well as both a vegetarian and a vegan variant. Our choice fell on a Guldtrast with cheese, bacon and a tarragon mayo and a Rosenfink with cheese, white onions, jalapeños and mayo. Both burgers cost 159 SEK (15 USD) each, including a generous portion of fries.

The burgers arrived in a basket and were carefully assembled, with an excellent ingredient ratio. Just before we started eating, we asked the friendly staff about the origin of the meat, and were told that while it was local, it contained a mixture of beef and pork – for added flavour and juiciness apparently. We found this strange, especially as it wasn’t on the menu or communicated in any way. The meat didn’t taste very much like pork either, but it also didn’t become noticeably juicier or more flavourful. Instead, it felt a little finely ground and compact. Apart from that, the flavours were nice, with a few well-chosen ingredients that fit together well. The cheese was creamy, the bun was nicely toasted and our Guldtrast had crispy bacon and a really tasty tarragon mayonnaise, while Rosenfink offered a little heat and had a nice crunch from the white onions. The fries were also well-fried with just the right amount of saltiness.

Lilla Bistron’s burger left us a little puzzled, mainly because of the meat. We are not categorically opposed to abandoning beef, but there must be real benefits – and this was not something we noticed during our visit. However, we look forward to visiting them again, this time a little more prepared for what they serve.

🍔 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.
