FAVO är ett ghost kitchen – en slags matleveranstjänst som fungerar likt Foodora men med den stora väsentliga skillnaden att de faktiskt lagar sin egen mat. Fokus ligger på att leverera maten själva, även om det finns möjlighet att själv plocka upp sin order eller äta på deras restauranger i Stockholm och Borås. Sedan vi recenserade dem första gången 2019 har de ändrat delar av menyn och bytt ut vissa råvaror, och därför var det dags att se om de fortfarande höll måttet.

Vi beställde deras Cheese Smash för 115 kronor, med 150 gram kött samt cheddarost, karamelliserad lök, saltgurka, senap, ketchup och vegansk majonnäs. Beställningen gjordes smidigt via appen, och vi kunde enkelt följa vår leverans fram till dörren. Maten levererades i stabila kartonger och påsar som såg ut att klara transporterna från köket hem till dörren, men hamburgaren såg ändå ganska omskakad ut av leveransen. Vi hade ändå förhoppningar att den skulle smaka bättre än den såg ut, trots att brödet var mjukt och ganska tillplattat. Köttet var helt okej stekt och lätt rosa på insidan men vi hade ändå önskat mer stekyta och salt. Det var rikligt med ketchup, senap och pickles som alla var smakrika, men den stekta lökens mjuka textur hjälpte inte helhetsupplevelsen. Nu var allt lite mosigt och burgaren fick kämpa för att hålla ihop. Pommes fritesen för 35 kronor och sötpotatispommesfritesen för 45 kronor var mjuka och osaltade och inte alls värda sitt pris, men vitlöksdippen för 15 kronor var i alla fall smakrik.

Ghost kitchens är här för att stanna, men detta är ett bevis på att man måste välja rätt ingredienser och inte tumma på kvaliteten om burgarna ska överleva en leverans. Det märks att FAVO har tagit en del genvägar sedan starten, och vi hoppas att denna trend inte fortsätter.

In English

FAVO is a ghost kitchen – a kind of food delivery service that works like Foodora, but with the big difference that they actually cook their own food. They mainly deliver the food themselves, but you can also pick up your order or eat in their restaurants in Stockholm and Borås. Since our first review back in 2019 they’ve changed parts of their menu and also replaced some of their ingredients, so it was time to see if they still were up to par.

We ordered their Cheese Smash for 115 SEK (14 USD), with a 150-gram patty, cheddar, caramelized onions, salty pickles, ketchup, mustard and a vegan mayo. The order was easily placed in the app, and we were able to follow it all the way to our door. The food came served in sturdy boxes and bags that seemed to handle the trip, but the burger itself looked a bit shook up. We were hoping that it would taste better than it looked, seeing as the bun was a bit squished and flattened. Thankfully, the beef was nicely cooked and had a slightly pink centre, but we would have liked some more crust and seasoning. There was a generous amount of ketchup, mustard and pickles which all added a lot of taste, but the onion’s soft texture didn’t help with the overall mouth-feel. Everything was a bit too soft, and the burger had problems keeping everything together. Both the regular fries for 35 SEK (4 USD) and the sweet potato fries for 45 SEK (5 USD) were both soft and unseasoned, and a waste of money. We liked the garlic dip for 15 SEK (2 USD) though.

Ghost kitchens are here to stay, but this is proof that the ingredients need to be chosen carefully and the quality must remain intact in order for a delivery burger to handle long deliveries. FAVO have taken quite a few shortcuts since they first launched, and we really hope that they don’t keep up this trend.

Uppdatering juni 2021:
Vi har gjort ett omtest av burgarna från FAVO och anser att kvaliteten har sjunkit, och har därmed beslutat att revidera betyget till 3/5.

Recension från 11 december 2019

Recension skriven av Linus Josephson

Favo är ett nytt restaurang- och matkoncept som idag finns i Borås och delar av Stockholm. De fungerar egentligen som många av dagens matappar som Foodora och Uber Eats, men med den stora väsentliga skillnaden att de faktiskt lagar sin egen mat. De har alltid fri leverans och har således ett stort fokus på hemleverans, även om det finns möjlighet att äta på deras restauranger.

Burgarmenyn har fem normalstora burgare som alla är prissatta runt hundralappen, vilket känns rimligt. Tillbehören kostar desto mer och ligger mot 40 kronor för vanliga pommes frites och 50 kronor för sötpotatispommes, vilket är lite väl saftigt. Det hör inte till vanligheterna att vi recenserar takeaway-burgare, så vi gjorde faktiskt flera beställningar vid olika tidpunkter. Till vår stora glädje så var kvaliteten väldigt konsekvent.

Det märktes att konceptet är genomtänkt. Leveransen gick smidigt, burgarna låg i skyddande takeaway-lådor och hade byggts ihop för att klara transporten utan att bli mosiga eller kladdiga. Brödet hade en fin stuns, samtidigt som det var tillräckligt stadigt för att stå emot såserna. Köttet hade en fin stekyta och en härlig textur. Det var saftigt och gott, men kunde ha kryddats lite mer för att framhäva smakerna bättre.

Överlag kändes alla burgare välkomponerade, och vår favorit var deras Cheese Smash som med dubbla skivor cheddarost, karamelliserad lök, silverlök, majonnäs, senap och ketchup gav en klassisk smakbild som förde tankarna till en lyxig cheeseburgare på McDonald’s. Även deras burgare Chef’s Favo med lönnsirapsbacon var riktigt smarrig, med väl avvägda ingredienser.

Det enda riktigt negativa var de dyra och underfriterade pommes fritesen. Men själva burgaren smakade riktigt gott, och vi applåderar detta nya matkoncept från FAVO som faktiskt fungerar förvånansvärt bra och smidigt.

Hos oss är det sommar året om! Och du behöver faktiskt ingen grill för att göra en BBQ-burgare. Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger kombinerar Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce med sallad, tomat och picklad rödlök. Den picklade rödlöken ger både krisp och syra som balanserar den söta och rökiga barbecuesåsen, medan grönsakerna lyfter smakerna. Vi smashar köttet på en stekplatta på grillen, men det går lika bra att göra det i en gjutjärnspanna i köket.

🍔 Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger
4 portioner / 30 min

Du behöver:
800 g grovmald högrevsfärs, 20–30 % fetthalt
4 hamburgerbröd, gärna briochebröd
8 skivor hamburgerost
Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
4 salladsblad
4 tomatskivor
1 rödlök
1 dl ättiksprit, 12 %
2 dl strösocker
3 dl vatten Smör
Salt och grovmald svartpeppar

Gör så här:
1.) Pickla rödlöken. Koka upp ättiksprit, socker och vatten och rör tills sockret har löst sig. Låt svalna. Skiva rödlöken tunt och lägg den i lagen i minst 30 minuter.
2.) Dela upp färsen i 8 delar à 100 gram och forma löst till bollar med händerna.
3.) Smält en liten klick smör på stekplattan eller i stekpannan och rosta insidan av bröden. Lägg åt sidan och torka av plattan eller pannan.
4.) Höj till maxvärme, cirka 250 grader. Lägg på köttbollarna och pressa med jämnt tryck till cirka 1 ½ cm tjocklek med ett smashverktyg i cirka 10 sekunder. Salta och peppra generöst.
5.) När små bubblor börjar bildas på köttets yta vänder du köttet med en vass stekspade. Lägg två skivor hamburgerost på varje köttpuck och stek ytterligare cirka 1 minut.
6.) Ringla Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce på brödets botten och lock. Lägg ett salladsblad på botten, följt av två köttpuckar. Toppa med en tomatskiva och picklad rödlök. Sätt sedan på locket.

Servera direkt och njut av smaken av sommar! ☀️

🇸🇪 @noahsburgare ★★★★★

We first visited N.O.A.H’s Burgare in Södertälje in 2024, and they’ve been high on our ranking of Sweden’s Best Burgers ever since. Their small white food truck has now been replaced by a much larger container, and the menu featured around ten burgers. We ordered our favourite, the Double Bacon Burger, with two 110-gram beef patties, cheddar, bacon, tomato, burger sauce and BBQ sauce for 138 SEK (14 USD). We also tried their SSK Meal, featuring a Bacon Jam Burger with a 135-gram beef patty, cheddar, bacon jam, pickles and Mac sauce. It cost 185 SEK (19 USD), including fries, a dip and a drink.

The burgers arrived quickly and looked just as inviting as we remembered. The Bacon Burger delivered crispy bacon and deep umami flavours, while the diced tomato worked surprisingly well with the other ingredients, adding both juiciness and a distinct texture. The Bacon Jam Burger had a pronounced sweetness and smokiness that we really enjoyed. The thicker beef patty had a crispy crust and a very juicy centre, and together with the generous amount of bacon jam, the proportions between the beef, toppings and bun were really good. However, the Mac sauce faded into the background and didn’t quite get a chance to shine. Both burgers were generously seasoned with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and we particularly appreciated how they had adjusted the thickness of the patties to suit the toppings. The flavourful bacon jam worked perfectly with a thicker patty, while the classic Bacon Burger had better proportions with two thinner patties, each with an amazing crust. The fries were well-cooked and almost impossible to stop eating, and the included Mac dip paired really well with them.

N.O.A.H’s Burgare just keeps getting better with every visit, and they continue to impress from their small car park on the outskirts of Södertälje. If you love burgers, they’re definitely worth a detour.

🇺🇸 @familyfriend20671 ★★★★☆

Familyfriend is located in a residential neighbourhood in South Seattle and serves American comfort food and Guamanian fusion cuisine. They’ve been named the home of both Seattle’s best smashburger and corn soup, and the restaurant itself has a cosy interior with a large and airy courtyard. The menu consisted of small plates, medium plates and mains, and we ordered the only burger on the menu. The Da Kids Kewpie Burger came with beef, cheese, onions, pickles and miso and cost 20 USD, including a portion of Truffle Shoestring Fries. We also added an extra beef patty for another 5 USD.

The burger was served on a small plate and looked really cute. The beef was juicy with a crispy crust, but we would’ve appreciated more salt to make the flavours pop. The bun was nice and surprisingly airy, but should’ve been toasted harder on the inside. Ratio-wise, it worked really well with double beef, and we think a single would’ve been too bun-heavy. The diced onions were exceptionally crisp and flavourful without taking over, but they’d also diced the pickles, which made them feel more like relish. So even though the flavour was there, we missed their natural crunch, and the burger felt a little too soft overall. The flavours were simple but tasty, and we liked that they dared to keep the burger this simple. Their truffle fries were thinly cut and fried until crisp. Luckily, they’d only been lightly tossed in a fresh truffle oil, which added umami without taking over. We genuinely couldn’t stop eating them.

Familyfriend is a cosy little neighbourhood restaurant that’s well worth a visit. Come for the burger, but make sure to order several of the medium plates to share as well. We tried everything from tacos and empanadas to the burger and their corn soup – and the latter really did live up to its award.

🇸🇪 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.
