Bank Hotel

Det lyxiga boutiquehotellet Bank Hotel öppnade i ett av Stockholms mest exklusiva kvarter under sensommaren 2018 och sedan dess har blivit en populär destination för såväl turister som lokalbor. De har flera olika restauranger och barer med helt egna menyer, men en av de återkommande rätterna är deras The Bank Burger med cheddarost, sallad, karamelliserad lök, silverlök och majonnäs, samt en portion pommes frites för 225 kronor. Vi gjorde oss bekväma i deras gemytliga bar Papillon, och beställde in burgaren från den väldigt serviceinriktade personalen.

Burgaren som serverades på vårt bord vilade prydligt på ett porslinsfat, och förutom den onödiga pinnen som genomborrade allting så såg den ganska trevlig ut. Hamburgaren var kanske i högsta laget, men den gick ändå att greppa med båda händerna utan något större problem. Brödet kändes följsamt och var gediget rostat på insidan, men vi upptäckte snabbt flera problem. Osten var väldigt seg, och kombinerat med den blöta karamelliserade löken fick burgaren en ganska otrevlig textur som påverkade hela vår upplevelse negativt. Köttet hade behövt mer stekyta och smak, och var dessutom ganska kompakt. Vi saknade även något med syra eller hetta som bröt av smakerna. Pommes fritesen hade i alla fall en god smak, även om de kunde ha fått tillbringa lite längre tid i fritösen, och den tillhörande dippen var också trevlig.

Överlag så lever inte Bank Hotels burgare upp till det saftiga priset eller den exklusiva atmosfären. Vi förväntar oss helt enkelt mer av en burgare i denna prisklass, och vår rekommendation är att du hoppar över en hamburgaren vid ett eventuellt besök och i stället prioriterar något annat, till exempel deras eleganta cocktailmeny.

In English

The upscale boutique hotel Bank Hotel opened in one of Stockholm’s most exclusive areas in the summer of 2018, and since then it’s been a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. They have several different restaurants and bars with their own menus, but one of the reoccurring menu items is The Bank Burger with cheddar, lettuce, caramelized onions, white onions and mayo, together with an order of french fries for 225 SEK (24 USD). We made ourselves comfortable in their cozy Papillon bar and placed an order with their attentive staff.

Our burger came served on a nice porcelain plate, and looked rather nice despite the superfluous skewer running through it. It was perhaps a bit too tall for our liking, but we could still pick it up with both hands. The bun felt soft and was toasted nicely on the inside, but we immediately noticed several problems. The cheese was very chewy and combined with the very wet caramelized onions we ended up with a quite unpleasant texture. The beef patty could have done with more crust and seasoning, and was a bit too compact as well. We also would have liked some ingredients with acidity or heat in order to cut through the heavy flavours. The french fries tasted nice (even though they could have been cooked a bit longer), and the accompanying dip was tasty as well.

At the end of the day, Bank Hotels burger simply doesn’t live up to its high price and the establishments great atmosphere. We expect more from a burger that costs this much, and recommend that you give it a miss next time you visit and focus on something else, such as their elegant cocktail menu.

🍔 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.
