När hantverksburgaren kom till Stockholm blev cheeseburgaren i baren på Marie Laveau tidigt en snackis bland burgarnördarna, och namedroppades flitigt för att visa att man hade koll under 2012. När vi recenserade dem i slutet av 2014 hade flera ställen hunnit komma ikapp och förbi, och vi var inte lika imponerade längre. Marie Laveau stängde sina dörrar 2017, men har nu återuppstått igen och har faktiskt en burgare på menyn. Lokalen på Hornsgatan var numera enkel och mörk, och såg helt annorlunda ut än sist. Det fanns två burgare på menyn, samt valet att byta nötköttet mot kyckling eller en vegetarisk puck. Valet föll på deras Bacon- och ostburgare för 159 kronor, som inkluderade pommes frites, en dippsås samt en coleslaw.

Burgaren serverades med ett leende, men tyvärr försvann våra när vi såg vad som låg framför oss. Köttet såg ut som en klassisk fryspuck med sin helt jämna form och jämngrå färg. Smaken var faktiskt ändå godkänd, men en restaurang som serverar såna här hamburgare år 2021 signalerar tydligt att de egentligen inte gillar burgare. Det stora brödet smakade ytterst lite, men det var väldigt fluffigt. Grönsakerna kändes fräscha, men var tyvärr kylskåpskalla, och burgardressingen var alldeles för söt. Baconet var krispigt och så pass gott att det stod ut som det bästa med burgaren. Pommes fritesen serverades med dill ovanpå och aioli vid sidan av, och var också riktigt goda. De var aningen underfriterade, men fortfarande mycket trevligare än själva burgaren.

Marie Laveau serverar tyvärr en alldeles vanlig pub-burgare numera, byggd mer på genvägar än på passion och kärlek. Den gamla burgarpionjären är tyvärr ett minne blott, och burgarälskare gör sig icke besvär längre.

When craft burgers first came to Stockholm, the bar burger at Marie Laveau quickly became popular, and was often name-dropped back in 2012. But several burger joints had surpassed them when we reviewed them at the end of 2014, and we just weren’t that impressed any more. Marie Laveau actually closed down back in 2017, but they’ve recently reopened with a new menu. Their restaurant on Hornsgatan was a bit more basic and dark than before, and they now offered two burgers (plus the option to replace the beef patty with a chicken or vegetarian option). We ordered the Bacon and Cheese Burger for 159 SEK (18 USD), including french fries, a dip plus a coleslaw.

The waiter served the burger with a smile, but the one on our faces quickly faded when we saw what we were about to eat. The beef patty looked like a pre-formed frozen variety, with its even texture and grey colour. Sure, it didn’t taste awful, but a restaurant that serves burgers like these in 2021 really don’t care. The large bun tasted very little, but was very fluffy. The vegetables were fresh and crispy, but were still cold from the refrigerator, and the regular burger sauce was a bit too sweet. The bacon was really nice and crispy, and turned out to be the highlight of our meal. The french fries were covered in dill, with an aioli on the side, and tasted really nice. They were a bit undercooked, but much tastier than the burger.

We’re afraid that Marie Laveau serve a regular and boring pub burger nowadays, taking shortcuts in the kitchen rather than preparing meals with love. The old burger pioneer is long gone, and burger lovers have no reason to return.

Recension från 28 november 2014

Recension skriven av Linus Josephson

Man vill verkligen gilla Marie Laveau och deras koncept på Södermalm. Den dinerinspirerade lokalen känns nämligen helt rätt, och samma sak gäller för dess trevliga personal och inbjudande brunchmeny.

Deras dubbla cheeseburgare, som vanligtvis endast serveras i bardelen, är en av paradrätterna, och innehåller allt man kan tänkas begära av en riktigt bra burgare. Två 140-gramsköttpuckar gjorda på högrev får sällskap av krispig sallad, dressing, cheddarost och karamelliserad lök. En elegant detalj är att brödet är penslat med baconfett, vilket gör att det glänser fint och bidrar positivt till smakupplevelsen.

Burgaren är bra, men saknar tyvärr det lilla extra som vi brukar kalla kärlek och som är väldigt svårtdefinierat. Burgaren kunde ha smakat mer, och pommes fritesen var rent ut sagt tråkiga.

Med detta i åtanke och ett med ett pris på 190 kronor så landar betyget på en trea, även om det är en stark sådan.

🇦🇺 @barlucasydney ★★★☆☆

Bar Luca is a cool and loud bar just a stone’s throw from the Opera House in central Sydney. They have been going viral for a while with one of their campaign burgers, which now has a permanent place on their menu. So when we were there, it was the obvious choice. The burger was called Blame Canada and consisted of a single beef patty, American cheese, maple syrup-glazed bacon, maple syrup aioli, poutine and fries inside the burger. The price was 20 AUD (14 USD).

Our burger still looked pretty good when it arrived, shiny from the maple syrup and with a patty with a decent crust. The beef tasted fine, even if it was a bit burnt in some places and would have benefited from a looser texture. The crown of the bun was a bit squashed, but it still held together surprisingly well and tasted great. The bacon was also unexpectedly crispy, and we liked the nice and flavourful maple syrup glaze. But it was very sweet overall with all the maple syrup, which literally dripped from the burger. This made the whole burger really sticky and quite difficult to handle – even if it also meant that we ate the whole thing at once. The fries that were under the patty itself were very soft and completely lacked crunch, probably because they were steamed by being placed directly in the burger. And we would have really preferred a bit larger cheese curds in the poutine, as the texture was a bit unappealing.

Blame Canada sounded very interesting on paper, and we can see why the burger has gone viral and become so popular. And even if everything was alright, it had too many technical mistakes to become a real favourite. But if you are in the mood for a sweet and sticky burger while listening to some loud music, Bar Luca is there for you.

🇦🇺 @royalstacksau ★★★☆☆

Royal Stacks is a Melbourne-based burger chain that was founded in 2016 after their founder Dani travelled to the US and got a healthy dose of inspiration. They are still expanding, and currently have more than 10 restaurants that are decorated with plenty of well-known pop culture references. The five beef burgers on the menu are clearly inspired by Shake Shack, but with a slightly cooler attitude. We ordered a Bacon Bacon; a double burger with cheese, caramelised onions, double bacon, pickles, ketchup and mustard for 23 AUD (16.5 USD).

Our burger looked good, but we were a bit worried about the large amount of ketchup that was piled on top of the bacon. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised by how well the ketchup tied the flavours together, and the sweetness and intense tomato flavour really made their mark here. The beef patties were tender, tasty and well-seasoned, but the bun was a bit too soft and should have been toasted a lot more. Fortunately, it held everything together well, so it wasn’t a big problem. On the ingredients front, the cheese provided a welcome creaminess, and we also liked the strong dill flavour of the pickles – although we would have preferred them to be thicker sliced and to have had more of them. They were already gone halfway through the burger. The bacon was a bit too soft and would have benefited from being crisper, but despite the slightly pale appearance, it was cooked pretty well. The caramelised onions were also a bit too soft, and we would have preferred raw onions here for a more interesting texture. Overall, the burger had well-balanced proportions, although everything was a bit softer than we would have liked.

Royal Stacks is a nice Australian fast casual chain that serves well made and affordable burgers in a cool environment. They are definitely worth checking out the next time you’re in Melbourne.
