Sedan 2023 så serveras det smashburgare inne på Hekto inne på Gröna Lund, som ligger på Djurgården i Stockholm. De har två enheter, en inne vid femkampen och en vid pontonen, med en härlig utsikt över vattnet. Menyn var kort och koncis med enkla eller dubbla köttburgare eller vegetariska varianter, och vi beställde en dubbel smashburgare med två 100-gramsköttpuckar, fyra skivor ost, lök, sallad, pickles och en burgardressing för 150 kronor. Vi beställde även en portion pommes frites för 35 kronor och en dippsås för 20 kronor.

Burgaren serverades relativt snabbt i en korg med en stor portion pommes, och såg riktigt fin ut. Den smälta osten var verkligen lockande, och det märktes på smaken och den rejäla stekytan på köttet att fetthalten var rejäl. Lite mer salt hade dock inte skadat. Brödet var fluffigt och rejält rostat, även om själva topplocket var ganska svalt. Den stora mängden ost bidrog med gott om krämighet, och både picklessen och löken tillförde rejält med textur. Dessutom så var den strimlade salladen vältempererad och tillförde lite trevlig färg. Vi antar att anledningen till att de bara valt att ha en burgare på menyn är för att underlätta för köket, och även om den enkla såsen nog passar de flesta så hade vi gärna sett att den var lite mer kraftfull i smaken. Till exempel så bjöd dragonmajonnäsen som vi köpte till våra pommes frites på en riktig smakbomb, och det hade varit trevligt med en liknande smaksensation i burgardressingen. Själva pommes fritesen var krispiga och välfriterade, och vi uppskattade även den rikliga portionen.

Vi hade faktiskt inte förväntat oss att få en så här bra burgare på ett tivoli, och hoppas att detta är nystarten för bra burgare på nöjesparker i hela Sverige. Hekto serverar tveklöst den bästa maten som Gröna Lund har att erbjuda just nu.

In English

Since 2023, Hekto has been serving smash burgers inside Tivoli Gröna Lund in Stockholm. They have two units, including one by the pontoon with a lovely view of the water. Their menu was short and concise with single or double beef or veggie burgers, and we ordered a double smash burger with two 100-gram beef patties, four slices of cheese, onions, lettuce, pickles and a burger sauce for 150 SEK (14 USD). We also ordered some french fries for 35 SEK (3.5 USD) and a dipping sauce for 20 SEK (2 USD).

Our burger arrived relatively quickly in a basket with a large portion of fries, and looked really nice. The melted cheese was really tempting, and it was clear from the beefiness and the deep crust that the meat had a high fat content. A little more salt wouldn’t have hurt though. The bun was fluffy and well toasted, although the crown was a bit cold. The large amount of cheese added plenty of creaminess, and both the pickles and onions provided a lot of interesting textures. Also, the shredded lettuce was well tempered and added some nice colour. We guess the reason they’ve chosen to only have one burger on their menu is to make it easier for the kitchen, and even though the simple sauce will suit most people, a more intense flavour wouldn’t have hurted. For example, the tarragon mayonnaise we bought for our fries was a real taste sensation, and it would have been nice to have a similar experience in the burger sauce. The fries themselves were crispy and well-cooked, and we also appreciated the generous portion.

We were surprised to get such a good burger at a tivoli, and hope that this is the beginning of a new trend for good burgers at amusement parks throughout Sweden. Hekto undoubtedly serve the best food that Gröna Lund has to offer right now.

🇸🇪 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.

🇸🇪 @rollinbistrosbackyard ★★★★☆

Rollin Bistros started out as a food truck in 2014 and opened their Backyard in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg, in 2020, which we visited shortly afterwards. Since 2024, they’ve also served our favourite burger in Gothenburg. One thing that’s consistent at Rollin Bistros is the craftsmanship, which was evident in both the food and the huge yet intimate venue. During our latest visit, we ordered two burgers: a double Classic Cheese with two smashed patties, cheddar, white onions, dill pickles and burger sauce for 220 SEK (22 USD), as well as the bistro-style Home Run with just one thick beef patty and cheese for 195 SEK (19.5 USD). We also ordered a portion of teriyaki onion rings for 95 SEK (9.5 USD).

It’s always a bold move to serve a burger with just beef, bun and cheese, but the Home Run really let the ingredients shine. The thick beef patty was juicy, with a slightly pink centre and a nice crust. It tasted really good in all its simplicity, although the meat had been salted a little too heavily. The bun from a local bakery was airy, held together well and had a buttery richness that we appreciated. The smashed cheeseburger also had tasty beef, and although it was naturally more well-done, it was still juicy. The cheese was creamy, the onions added a nice texture and the burger sauce was like a more grown-up and mature version of a classic burger sauce. The problem here was their pickles, which were a bit floppy since they were made with regular cucumbers, with a sharp flavour that reminded us more of a Swedish crayfish party than a burger. As always, the star of the menu was their sides, something they’ve never failed at. The onion rings were crispy and served with an addictive teriyaki ripple and an equally fantastic MSG mayo. The soft serve ice-cream also impressed, with interesting toppings such as foie gras and caramel sauce for 115 SEK (11.5 USD) as well as yuzu, toasted sesame seeds and crispy meringues for 75 SEK (7.5 USD).

Rollin Bistros keep flying the flag high on Gothenburg’s burger scene, and we also recommend a visit to Gamlestaden for the sides, desserts and service.
