Burgarbaren har stängt sin verksamhet.

Kvarterskrogen Asken i Norrköping har en bakficka i källaren kallad Burgarbaren. Här samsas fina valv med noll mobiltäckning och den där rätta känslan som behövs för att äta en bra burgare med händerna, istället för på den lite finare restaurangen våningen ovanför där det känns som att bestick krävs.

De har fem olika burgare på olika teman inklusive ett specifikt vegetariskt alternativ, även om alla burgare går att få vegetariska. För 100 kronor får du en av dessa burgare, inklusive en portion pommes frites. De har även ett bra och varierat sortiment av öl på flaska att botanisera bland.

Vi testade Husburgarn som i komponenterna är väldigt lik en cheeseburgare från McDonald’s med ost, lök, gurka, senap och ketchup. Skillnaden här var att alla komponenter var ofantligt mycket bättre. Köttet var perfekt stekt och allt funkade jättebra ihop. Om man ska vara petig var brödet så luftigt att det knappt kändes som att det var där. Det kändes lite som sockervadd gjord av bröd, och även om detta är en smaksak föredrar föredrar vi helt enkelt bröd med lite mer tuggmotstånd och smak.

Fast oavsett detta rekommenderar vi starkt ett besök på Burgarbaren – de vet verkligen vad de gör.

In English

Below Kvarterskrogen Asken in Norrköping they have a place called Burgarbaren. Your cellphone might not get reception, but here you’ll find a good selection of beers and some really good burgers. They make an excellent cheeseburger with basically the same ingredients as one from McDonald’s, but the big difference is that every single part is of much higher quality. The only complaint is that the buns are so fluffy it almost felt like eating cotton candy made from bread. Some may like that, but we prefer something with a bit more taste and resistance. All in all we highly recommend a visit to Burgarbaren if you are in this Swedish city.

🇸🇪 Burger House Homemade ★☆☆☆☆

Burger House Homemade is located right by the E18 outside Kristinehamn and is hard to miss from the road. The restaurant is decorated like a colourful American 1950s diner, with a large menu where the burgers come in several sizes. The prices were steep, with a burger containing 120 grams of beef costing 189 SEK (20 USD) and a 200-gram version a whopping 289 SEK (31 USD), meaning an extra 100 SEK (11 USD) for just 80 grams more beef. However, we struggled to find a burger where the ingredients felt thoughtfully put together. In the end, we ordered a Cheeseburger with 200 grams of beef, double cheddar, caramelised onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles and burger sauce. Fries were included, but with a soft drink the final bill came to well over 300 SEK (32 USD).

The burger was sloppily assembled and covered in sauce when it arrived. The two smashed patties, made from Swedish chuck, had a lightly grilled flavour, but they’d been pressed too hard and had a compact, chewy texture. The beef was also oversalted and tasted really dull. In contrast, the burger sauce, onions and, strangely enough, even the pickles were very sweet, and none of the flavours worked particularly well together. The lettuce had been placed underneath the beef, where the heat had turned it translucent and limp. The sesame bun had been coloured yellow with turmeric and grilled hard on the outside in a sandwich press, while the inside was left almost completely untoasted. This made it soggy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The result was a messy burger with poorly handled beef at an outrageously high price. The fries were at least okay and the portion was very filling, but that was the only positive part of the meal.

Burger House Homemade felt more like a trap for hungry motorists than a craft burger place with homemade burgers, and we found nothing that justified the unreasonably high prices. We recommend holding out a little longer and finding something tastier and better value further down the road if you’re craving a burger on your journey.

🇸🇪 @rollinbistrosbackyard ★★★★☆

Rollin Bistros started out as a food truck in 2014 and opened their Backyard in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg, in 2020, which we visited shortly afterwards. Since 2024, they’ve also served our favourite burger in Gothenburg. One thing that’s consistent at Rollin Bistros is the craftsmanship, which was evident in both the food and the huge yet intimate venue. During our latest visit, we ordered two burgers: a double Classic Cheese with two smashed patties, cheddar, white onions, dill pickles and burger sauce for 220 SEK (22 USD), as well as the bistro-style Home Run with just one thick beef patty and cheese for 195 SEK (19.5 USD). We also ordered a portion of teriyaki onion rings for 95 SEK (9.5 USD).

It’s always a bold move to serve a burger with just beef, bun and cheese, but the Home Run really let the ingredients shine. The thick beef patty was juicy, with a slightly pink centre and a nice crust. It tasted really good in all its simplicity, although the meat had been salted a little too heavily. The bun from a local bakery was airy, held together well and had a buttery richness that we appreciated. The smashed cheeseburger also had tasty beef, and although it was naturally more well-done, it was still juicy. The cheese was creamy, the onions added a nice texture and the burger sauce was like a more grown-up and mature version of a classic burger sauce. The problem here was their pickles, which were a bit floppy since they were made with regular cucumbers, with a sharp flavour that reminded us more of a Swedish crayfish party than a burger. As always, the star of the menu was their sides, something they’ve never failed at. The onion rings were crispy and served with an addictive teriyaki ripple and an equally fantastic MSG mayo. The soft serve ice-cream also impressed, with interesting toppings such as foie gras and caramel sauce for 115 SEK (11.5 USD) as well as yuzu, toasted sesame seeds and crispy meringues for 75 SEK (7.5 USD).

Rollin Bistros keep flying the flag high on Gothenburg’s burger scene, and we also recommend a visit to Gamlestaden for the sides, desserts and service.
