Lokal hade tidigare flera restauranger i Sverige, men har numera endast kvar den vid Hötorget. Det är stort, snyggt inrett och känns påkostat. Bakom satsningen står inte helt oväntat namn med lång erfarenhet av liknande ställen, inklusive en handfull befintliga ”konkurrenter”. Det är förmodligen ingen slump att de har tagit över Gnarly Burgers gamla Stockholmslokaler vid Hötorget.

Vårt första intryck var positivt, med gott om personal och avslappnad stämning. Vi beställde in deras Lokal Original (119 kronor) med burgardressing, picklad lök, sallad, tomat och cheddarost, samt Bacon BBQ (125 kronor) med burgardressing, rökt bacon, pepper jack-ost och barbecuesås. Problemen började tyvärr direkt när vi fick in våra burgare, för inga av våra Bacon BBQ hade något bacon på sig. När vi frågade personalen om baconet fick vi ett kort svar att det var slut i köket, men att de inte hade vetat om det förrän efter att beställningen hade ”gått in”. Så inget bacon, ingen ursäkt och inget avdrag på notan.

Burgarna i sig kom i stora och ganska torra bröd, med en tunn köttskiva som knappt smakade något. Lokal Original hade en söt dressing som gav viss smak, men i övrigt var det okryddat och allmänt tråkigt. Den andra burgaren hade aningen mer smak i sig, men var lika kärlekslös. Sötpotatispommesfritesen (40 kronor) var faktiskt riktigt goda, och även de vanliga pommes fritesen (30 kronor) var helt okej.

Det känns ironiskt att det mest positiva med besöket var just själva lokalen. Resten kändes betydligt mer kostnadsoptimerat än kvalitetsfokuserat. Hit går du för tillgängligheten och miljön, men om du är ute efter en god hamburgare så finns det mängder av bättre alternativ på kort promenadavstånd. Kolla in vår karta, så ser du själv.

In English

We visited Lokal’s bright and nicely designed restaurant in Stockholm, centrally located by Hötorget.

We ordered the Lokal Original (119 SEK) with cheddar, dressing, pickled onions, lettuce and tomato, and the Bacon BBQ (125 SEK) with pepper jack cheese, dressing, BBQ sauce and bacon. We never got any bacon though, and when we asked why they just told us that the kitchen was out of it and that they didn’t know that until after we had ordered. That was it. No bacon, no excuses and no compensation.

The burgers came with a large and slightly dry bun, and the beef patty was thin and hardly tasted of anything. It wasn’t necessarily bad, but everything was just bland and loveless. The sweet potato fries (40 SEK) were pretty good though, as were the ordinary fries (30 SEK). All in all, Lokal just serve regular streamlined fast-casual meals in a pretty package with a slightly too high price tag. The atmosphere is nice, but there are lots of better burgers around.

🇸🇪 @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.
