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.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
