Världens Bar ligger i centrala Norrköping, alldeles intill Laxholmen och Arbetets Museum. Där har de serverat öl i över femton år, och på senare tid har vi fått en hel del tips om deras burgare. Själva restaurangen liknade ett lite småslitet kvartershak med en stor uteservering, och under vårt besök hittade vi en meny bestående av åtta köttburgare, ett par vegetariska burgare och diverse övrig barmat. Vi beställde en Original Burger med cheddar, bacon, sallad, rödlök, majonnäs och steak sauce för 139 kronor och en Azteka Burger med cheddar, bacon, sallad, rödlök, avokadoröra och majonnäs för 149 kronor. Pommes frites och en dippsås ingick i priset.

När vi satte oss på uteserveringen märkte vi att alla var där för ölen och inte maten, och våra farhågor om kvaliteten besannades när vårga ganska platta burgare anlände – igenomstuckna av en onödig pinne. Brödet var väldigt torrt och knappt rostat på insidan, och de två köttpuckarna på 75 var tuggiga och kompakta med en ganska tam stekyta. På vår Azteka Burger hade de lagt en baconskiva mellan de två ostskivorna, vilket gav den ett lustigt utseende. Men baconet var i alla fall gott, även om syrligheten i den gryniga avokadoröran tog över lite för mycket. Original Burger hade en steak sauce som var väldigt söt, och även om den smakade gott som gjorde den burgaren väldigt obalanserad. Det här var en väldigt gammeldags burgare, och det fanns inget som stack ut på ett positivt sätt. Pommes fritesen var dessutom ojämnt friterade, och det fanns många småbitar av friterad potatis. Smaken framträdde inte och konsistensen var pappliknande

Världens Bar serverar tyvärr riktigt trista burgare till premiumpris, och även om vi gärna besöker dem igen för deras stora ölutbud så skulle vi inte rekommendera burgaren.

In English

Världens Bar is located in central Norrköping, right next to Laxholmen and the Museum of Work. They have been serving beer there for over fifteen years, and as of late we have received a lot of tips about their burgers. The restaurant looked like a slightly worn neighbourhood pub with a large outdoor seating area, and during our visit we found a menu consisting of eight beef burgers, a couple of vegetarian burgers and various other bar food. We ordered an Original Burger with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, red onions, mayo and steak sauce for 139 SEK (14.5 USD) and an Azteka Burger with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, red onions, avocado mix and mayo for 149 SEK (15.5 USD). French fries and a dip were included in the price.

When we sat down in their outdoor area it was obvious that everyone was there for the beer and not the food, and our fears about the quality were confirmed when our rather flat burgers arrived – pierced with an unnecessary skewer. The bun was very dry and barely toasted on the inside, and the two 75-gram beef patties were chewy and compact with a weak crust. Our Azteka Burger had a slice of bacon between the two slices of cheese, which gave it a funny appearance. But at least the bacon tasted nice, even though the tartbess from the grainy avocado mix took over a little too much. The Original Burger had a steak sauce that was very sweet, but even though it was quite nice it made the burger very unbalanced. Our burgers were very old-fashioned, and there was nothing that really stood out in a positive way. The french fries were unevenly cooked, and there were many small pieces of fried potatoes. The flavour didn’t do much and they had a cardboard-like texture.

Världens Bar unfortunately serve really boring burgers at premium prices, and even though we would gladly visit them again for their large selection of beer, we can’t recommend their burgers.

🇸🇪 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.
