Folkparken öppnade i slutet av augusti 2019 på Sveavägen i Stockholm, precis vid Rådmansgatans tunnelbana. Den stimmiga industrilokalen har nu fått upp en cheeseburgare på bar- och takeaway-kioskmenyn. Burgaren är gjord på högrev, ekologisk burgarcheddar från Väddö gårdsmejeri, chipotlemajonnäs, saltgurka, karamelliserad lök, picklad chili och egenbakat bröd, och kostar 95 kronor i deras kiosk.

Det var en snygg hamburgare som serverades, men vi märkte snabbt ett par problem. Brödet var färskt men tyvärr så var den övre skorpan lite tjock och seg, samtidigt som insidan av brödet gärna kunde ha rostats en stund till. Resultatet blev ett svårtuggat bröd som inte höll ihop särskilt väl. Köttpucken var något torr, utan att för den sakens skull vara seg, men den hade ingen riktigt märkbar köttsmak och borde ha kryddats lite mer. Chipotlemajonnäsen, cheddarn, den picklade chilin och den karamelliserade löken vägde som tur var upp, och tillförde såväl sötma, krämighet och kryddighet utan att ta över.

Vi har testat Folkparkens övriga meny flera gånger tidigare, och har varit väldigt imponerade av hur de får smaker och texturer att samspela. Därför kändes det lite tråkigt att deras burgare inte höll samma nivå, då varken brödet eller köttet levde upp till våra förväntningar. Vi hoppas att de lyfter hamburgaren i framtiden, särskilt med tanke på att de är omgivna av några av Sveriges bästa burgarhak.

Folkparken opened in the end of August 2019 on Sveavägen in central Stockholm, just by the Rådmansgatan subway station. And now the packed industrial-styled restaurant has added a cheeseburger to their bar and takeaway kiosk menu. Made from chuck, it also contains organic burger cheddar from Väddö Gårdsmejeri, chipotle mayo, pickles, caramelised onions, pickled chili and their own buns, costing 95 SEK (10 USD).

Our hamburger looked pretty great, but we quickly uncovered a few problem areas. The bun was fresh, but the top crust was a bit thick and chewy. In addition, the inside could have done with some sear. This made it a quite hard to eat, and it didn’t hold together very well. The patty was also a bit dry (without becoming chewy) and underseasoned, and lacked that beefy goodness we love so much. Thankfully, the chipotle mayo, cheddar, pickled chili and caramelised onions did a great job of counteracting these problem areas, adding sweetness, creaminess and a bit of heat without taking over.

We have tried other dishes from Folkparken’s regular menu several times before, and we’ve always been impressed with how well they manage to make flavours and textures work together. So when their burger didn’t achieve this we must admit that we felt a bit let down, especially when both the bun and the patty underdelivered. We hope that they step their game up, especially seeing as they’re surrounded by some of the best burger joints in Sweden.

🍔 Review № 1350

🇦🇪 @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.
