Levi Bistro är en relativt nyöppnad bistrorestaurang på Södermalm i Stockholm. De har en fokuserad meny med fem huvudrätter, varav en är burgaren Levi’s Burger. När vi var där bestod den av en 180 gram tjock köttpuck, cheddar, pickles, silverlök och deras egen Café de Paris-majonnäs. Den serverades med pommes frites och en dippsås, och kostade 285 kronor.

Burgaren var rejäl, precis som en bistroburgare ska vara, och vi gillade dess utseende som kändes helt rätt old school. Brödet var snyggt och följsamt och höll ihop allting imponerande väl. Köttet hade en luftig och saftig textur, och efter ett par tuggor kunde vi gissa oss till att det hade malts enligt Blumenthal-metoden, vilket var en trevlig detalj. Men vi hade gärna sett att köttet hade saltats och pepprats med för att få smaken att sticka ut ännu mer. Osten låg lite som ett täcke ovanpå köttet, och vi hade föredragit om det hade smälts in mer för ökad krämighet. Och vi hade också gärna sett att både silverlöken och picklesen var lite tjockare skurna för att ge mer textur. De salta picklesen smakade gott, men lite mer syrlighet hade hjälpt dem att lyfta smakerna. Café de Paris-majonnäsen var god, men trots att vi uppskattade senapstonerna så tog smaken över lite väl mycket. Men med det sagt så bidrog den med en intressant smakbild som fungerade bra på burgaren. Pommes fritesen var något överfriterade och knapriga, men räddades av den otroligt trevliga heta kryddningen som applicerats rikligt. Den medföljande dippen, som kan beskrivas som en vuxnare burgardressing, passade dessutom perfekt till den kryddiga smaken.

Levi Bistro serverar en intressant och god – om än något dyr – bistroburgare som vi i grund och botten gillar. Det finns några detaljer att finjustera, men vi uppskattar alltid när restauranger har en egen vision om vad en riktigt bra burgare ska vara.

In English

Levi Bistro is a relatively new bistro restaurant on Södermalm in Stockholm. They have a focused menu with five main courses, one of which is their Levi’s Burger. During our visit, it came with a thick 180 g beef patty, cheddar, pickles, white onions and their own Café de Paris mayo. It was served with fries and a dipping sauce and cost 285 SEK (30 USD).

The burger was pretty large, just like a bistro burger should be, and we liked its old-school appearance. The bun looked great and was soft and pliable, holding everything together impressively well. The beef had an airy and juicy texture, and after a couple of bites we suspected that it had been ground using the Blumenthal method, which was a nice detail. It could’ve used more salt and pepper, though, to make the beef flavour stand out more. The cheese sat almost like a blanket on top of the patty, and we would’ve preferred it to have melted into the beef more for extra creaminess. Both the white onions and pickles could also have been cut a little thicker for more texture. The salty pickles tasted nice, but a little more acidity would’ve helped lift the flavours. The Café de Paris mayo was tasty, and while we appreciated the mustard notes, it was a little too dominant. That said, it added an interesting flavour profile that worked well on the burger. The fries were slightly over-fried and crunchy, but were saved by the excellent hot seasoning that had been applied generously. The accompanying dip, which could best be described as a more grown-up burger sauce, was a perfect match for the spicy fries.

Levi Bistro serves an interesting and tasty, albeit somewhat expensive, bistro burger that we liked. There are a few details that could be fine-tuned, but we always appreciate restaurants with their own vision of what a really good burger should be.

🇸🇪 @burgerdevilofficial_ ★★★★☆

Burger Devil is located in Bäckby on the outskirts of Västerås, and when we first visited them in 2023 after several recommendations, we were pleasantly surprised by the high quality. During our return visit, we noticed that the restaurant had a thoughtfully designed interior, with almost every little detail featuring their branding. This time, we ordered a Cheese with two 120-gram beef patties, cheddar, red onions, pickles, yellow mustard, ketchup and mayo, as well as a Habanero Cheese with the same amount of beef, cheddar, habanero cheese, white onions, fresh chilli and béarnaise sauce. Both double burgers cost 189 SEK (19 USD) each as meals, including fries and a soft drink.

The burgers were nicely presented in paper sleeves and well assembled, with a good patty to bun ratio – even though our Habanero Cheese was a bit overloaded with toppings. The buns held everything together well, with a soft exterior and a nicely toasted interior. The beef was heavily smashed with a nice crust and generous seasoning that gave it a rich and robust flavour. However, we would have liked more heat from the Habanero Cheese, especially considering its name. And while we appreciated the idea of adding béarnaise sauce, the flavours became somewhat monotonous towards the end, and we would have liked something fresh to break things up. The fried habanero and cheese balls added a really nice contrast in texture, though, and overall it was a very enjoyable burger. The cheeseburger was also good at its core, but the flavours were slightly too sweet. We would have really appreciated some tangy dill pickles here to create a better balance. The fries were well-fried and nicely salted, but the dips we ordered could have had a bit more flavour.

Burger Devil has a well-developed concept, and they continue to serve filling and well-made burgers at very reasonable prices. Despite a few minor flaws, that still goes a long way.

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.
