En dyr besvikelse

Ruby Grill

Ruby Grill och dess storasyster Ruby Bistro ligger i Gamla stan i Stockholm och har serverat finburgare sedan 1995. För 10-15 år sedan hade de ett väldigt gott rykte, men det har hänt en hel del i hamburgarbranschen sedan dess – särskilt nu när Barrels och The Flying Elk ligger i närheten.

Cheeseburgaren med mac ’n cheese och pommes frites som tillbehör kostade 194 kronor, plus 20 kronor extra för bacon.

Vi kan börja med det positiva: köttet var vackert rosa. Så, då var vi klara med det, för det fanns inget mer. Det torra och mjöliga brödet som föll sönder efter halva måltiden ramade in ett tjockt lager av kylskåpskall sallad, tomat och rödlök. Burgaren i sig smakade nästan ingenting och kändes oväntat torr, och osten tillförde ingen nämnvärd smak. Pommes fritesen smakade som papper och vår mac ’n cheese bestod av hälften smält fett och hälften sönderkokt pasta. Den sistnämnda smakade dock tryffel, precis som utlovat, så det var inte helt misslyckat.

Om det här hade skett på ett gatukök för under hundringen hade vi eventuellt satt en tvåa och konstaterat att det fanns ambitioner. Nu, på en köttrestaurang och med en gourmetprislapp, var det bara pinsamt. Bistro Ruby är ett bevis på att ett bra läge ensamt kan bära en restaurang, och sällan har epitetet turistfälla känts mer passande.

In English

Ruby Grill is located in Gamla Stan in Stockholm. They have served gourmet burgers since 1995 and had a really good reputation 10-15 years ago. Their cheese burger with two sides costs 194 SEK, with an additional 20 SEK for bacon. The patty was beautifully pink inside, which was the only positive thing about the burger. The bun was dry and fell apart, the meat was dry and fell apart and the lettuce, tomato and onion, well they didn’t fall apart but were ice-cold instead. The cheese, as the rest, didn’t really taste of anything. Our fries tasted like cardboard and our mac ’n cheese was mostly mac ’n grease. This was a terrible burger at a high price and we can not recommend this to anyone, anytime for any reason.

🍔 Review № 1381

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @black_bear_burger ★★★★☆

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
