Vi recenserade gastropuben Knäppingen i Norrköping senast 2017, och då tyckte vi att deras bistroburgare var riktigt trevliga. Sedan dess har de moderniserat sina burgare, och eftersom de numera smashar sitt kött så var vi såklart ivriga att se hur utvecklingen gått. Den anrika lokalen kändes mysig och välkomnande, och på menyn fann vi fyra hyfsat klassiska köttburgare samt ett vegetariskt alternativ. Vi beställde deras Cheese Burger med cheddar, lök, saltgurka, senap och ketchup för 148 kronor, och lade till 30 kronor för ytterligare en 90-gramsköttpuck. I priset ingick pommes frites och en dippsås.

Vår burgare såg prydlig ut men vi såg ingen ost – vilket var lite orosväckande för en cheeseburgare. Osten fanns som tur var längre in, men våra första tuggor bestod av bara kött och bröd. Brödet var mjukt och följsamt, men också lite fuktigt av värmen. Vi gillade verkligen deras kött vid vårt tidigare besök, och lyckligtvis var det precis lika bra det här besöket. Stekytan var dock lite trist, men det var smakrikt, saftigt och med bra sälta. Mittentuggorna bjöd på den efterlängtade osten, tillsammans med övriga toppings, och helt plötsligt vaknade smakerna till liv och bjöd på en riktigt god burgare. Men överlag så var det lite för försiktiga smaker och texturer. Mittentuggorna skvallrade om att de jobbar med bra ingredienser, men att de hade svårt att få till en helhet. Våra pommes frites hade en krispig yta och en trevlig potatissmak, och örtdippen var ett uppskattat komplement som bröt mot de andra smakerna.

Knäppingen serverar fortfarande en bra burgare, men framför allt så bjuder de på en trevlig stämning och det finns mycket gott att dricka. Vill du bara ha just en hamburgare så bjuder dock Norrköping på ett flertal bättre alternativ i dagsläget.

We first reviewed the gastro pub Knäppingen in Norrköping in 2017, and back then we really enjoyed their bistro burgers. Since then they’ve started smashing their patties, and we were of course excited to see how they’d evolved. The cosy restaurant was welcoming, and their menu contained four classic beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We ordered their Cheese Burger with cheddar, onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard for 148 SEK (13.5 USD), and added a second 90-gram beef patty for 30 SEK (3 USD). French fries and a dip were included in the price.

Our burger looked well-composed, but we couldn’t see the cheese at all, which was a bit worrisome considering we’d ordered a cheese burgers. The cheese itself could be found further in, but our first bites only consisted of meat and bread. The bun was soft and squishy, but a bit damp from the heat. Last time we really enjoyed their meat, and it was still just as tasty this time around. The crust was a bit lacking, but apart from that the beef was both juicy and well-seasoned. The middle of our burger revealed the cheese and the rest of the toppings, and this was when the flavours really came alive, resulting something pretty great. But overall, both the flavours and textures were a bit too careful. The best parts showed us that they’ve got great ingredients, but it was clear that they struggled getting there. Lastly, our french fries were crispy with really good potato and the herb dip complemented the rest of our meal nicely.

Knäppingen still serve a good burger, but the atmosphere was the highlight of our visit this time. Their drink menu is extensive, but if you’re just looking for a great burger you can find better options in Norrköping nowadays.

Recension från 11 januari 2017

Recension skriven av Stefan Wadstedt

Knäppingen i Norrköping kan bäst beskrivas som en gastropub, och den mysiga lokalen har anor som sträcker sig hela 200 år tillbaka. Den varierade menyn innehåller tre olika hamburgare, där en enkel burgare är på 90 gram och en dubbel på 180 gram. Förutom de vanliga biffburgarna finns även en fiskburgare och en vegoburgare. Priserna sträcker sig mellan 119 och 154 kronor, men då ingår även pommes frites och en örtdipp.

Vi bestämde oss för en klassisk dubbel cheeseburgare med ost, senap, ketchup och lök. Burgaren var estetiskt tilltalande med bra ratio mellan kött och bröd, och själva köttet var fint mediumstekt med en utmärkt stekyta och med en kryddning som märktes av utan att slå ut köttsmaken. Cheddarosten låg snyggt smält över burgaren, och bidrog inte bara med utseende utan även med en hel del smak. Det var tveklöst kvalitétsköttet som var stjärnan här.

Brödet var varmt, mjukt och följsamt, men trots att det höll inne köttsafterna och smakade gott så kunde det ha varit lite mjukare och lite mindre sött. Pommes fritesen stack inte ut nämnvärt, men örtdippen var en riktig succé.

Överlag serverar Knäppingen en mycket god och prisvärd gastroburgare i härlig klassisk pubmiljö, som inte ligger långt bakom de bästa i stan. Och vi kan glatt konstatera att Norrköping utmärker sig som Sveriges tredje bästa burgarstad efter Stockholm och Göteborg.

The gastro pub Knäppingen in central Norrköping is located in a 200 year old building, and they serve excellent burgers. We ordered their double cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, onions and cheese, which both looked and tasted great. The patty was clearly the star here; perfectly cooked medium with lots of meat flavour. It was seasoned just right and had a good char. The cheese melted nicely and tasted amazing too, and we enjoyed the balanced condiments ratio. We liked the bread, but it could have been less sweet and a bit softer. We are happy to announce that Norrköping is currently Sweden’s third best burger town after Stockholm and Gothenburg.

🇸🇪 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.

🍔 Review № 1407

🇸🇪 @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.
