Bierhaus i Stockholm är Sveriges äldsta tyska ölhall, och känslan var både trevlig och autentisk när vi klev in i lokalen i Vasastan. Vi hittade tyska klassiker på både mat- och dryckesmenyn, men vår blick fastnade såklart på deras pretzelburgare med kött, cheddar, rödlök, krispsallad, pickles och chilimajonnäs i ett pretzelbröd. I priset på 195 kronor ingick även en rejäl portion pommes frites med en tillhörande chilimajonnäs som dipp.

Burgaren såg rejält maffig ut när den anlände till vårt bord, och vi insåg direkt att vi inte skulle gå hungriga härifrån. Men problemen började direkt när vi grep tag om burgaren. Pretzelbröd är lite stummare av naturen, men detta var onödigt torrt och inte alls så följsamt som vi hade hoppats på. Köttet hade tillagats i ugn för att sedan avslutas på grillen, vilket gav det rejäla grillränder som faktiskt smakade rejält bränt på vissa ställen. Texturen på köttpucken var dessutom väldigt kompakt och riktigt torr. Även grönsakerna hade förbättringspotential, då rödlöken var alldeles för skarp och de långskurna picklesen saknade både en krispig textur och någon som helst uppfriskande syrlighet. Krispsalladen avslutade fadäserna genom att vara i princip kylskåpskall. Som tur var tillförde chilimajonnäsen lite karaktär till burgaren med en gnutta efterlängtad hetta. Pommes fritesen var helt okej och vi uppskattade verkligen den generösa mängden, även om de gärna hade fått friteras lite längre för att höja krispigheten ytterligare.

Tyvärr så lyckas Bierhaus göra nästan alla grundläggande fel man kan göra med en hantverksburgare, vilket är synd med tanke på den gemytliga stämningen inne på restaurangen. Nästa gång kommer vi att välja det säkra kortet och beställer in en schweinshaxe tillsammans med vår kalla kellerbier istället.

Bierhaus in Stockholm is Sweden’s oldest german beer hall, and the feeling was both pleasant and authentic when we entered their premises in Vasastan. We found German classics on both the food and drink menu, but our eyes were drawn to their pretzel burger with beef, cheddar, red onion, lettuce, pickles and chili mayo in a pretzel bun. The 195 SEK price also included a generous portion of fries with an accompanying chilli mayo dip.

Our burger looked really big when it arrived at our table, and we immediately realised that we wouldn’t leave hungry. But the problems started as soon as we grabbed it. Pretzel buns are a bit stiffer by nature, but this one was unnecessarily dry. The meat had been cooked in the oven and then finished on the grill, giving it substantial grill marks that were pretty burnt in places. The texture of the patty was also very dense and dry. The vegetables also had room for improvement, as the red onion was far too sharp and the long cut pickles lacked both a crispy texture and any refreshing acidity. The lettuce finished off the mistakes by being super cold. Luckily, the chilli mayo added a bit of character with some much-needed heat. The fries were perfectly fine and we really appreciated the generous amount, though they could have been cooked a little longer to make them crispier.

Unfortunately, Bierhaus manages to make almost every basic mistake you can make with a craft burger, which is a shame given the cosy atmosphere of the restaurant. Next time we’ll play it safe and order a schweinshaxe with our cold kellerbier instead.

🇦🇪 @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.
