The King’s Fox

The King’s Fox ligger på Kungsgatan i centrala Stockholm och beskriver sig själva som en modern brittisk gastropub. Lokalen var relativt spartanskt inredd, troligtvis anpassat efter deras sena öppettider, men den trevliga personalen fick oss att känna oss bekväma och välkomna direkt. Menyn bestod av sex olika burgare och vi beställde deras Foxen’s Cheese med dubbla smashade 100-grampuckar, lagrad engelsk cheddar, amerikansk cheddar, silverlök, chilimajonnäs och banderillas, som serverades med en portion pommes frites för 165 kronor.

Vår burgare serverades prydligt instoppad i en pappersficka på ett fat. Det som stack ut, bildligt talat, var det uppseendeväckande och iskalla banderillas-spettet med pickles, oliv, syltlök, paprika och chili som hade tryckts in i topplocket. Det var en lustig detalj som vi inte riktigt förstod meningen med, och den gav ett minst sagt blandat första intryck. Brödet var mjukt med ett fint rostat inre, och höll ihop allt bra väl när vi greppade tag i burgaren. Köttet hade mått bra av en mer gedigen stekyta för att skapa lite tuggmotstånd i den annars väldigt mjuka burgaren, men det vi märkte mest redan vid första tuggan var att allt i hela burgaren var för salt – och vi fick direkt sträcka oss efter vårt vattenglas. Den överdrivna mängden salt påverkade hela måltiden och inget annat förutom deras pickles hade en chans att bryta igenom den monotona smakbilden. Däremot hade vi gärna sett att deras pickles var lite tjockare för att kunna bidra med en trevligare textur. Osten var inte heller något som riktigt föll oss i smaken, och lade sig som ett ganska segt osttäcke istället för att bidra med en trevlig krämighet. Pommes fritesen var i alla fall klart godkända, med en schysst krispig textur och härlig potatissmak.

Vi kan tyvärr inte rekommendera burgarna The King’s Fox förrän de ser över både såväl recept som själva tillagningen.

In English

Located on Kungsgatan in central Stockholm, The King’s Fox calls itself as a modern British gastropub. The venue was sparsely decorated, probably to accommodate their late opening hours, but the friendly staff immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. The menu consisted of six different burgers and we ordered their Foxen’s Cheese with two smashed 100-gram patties, aged English cheddar, American cheddar, white onions, chilli mayo and banderillas, served with french fries for 165 SEK (16 USD).

Our burger arrived neatly tucked into a paper pocket on a plate. But what caught our eye was the ice-cold banderillas skewer with pickles, olives, pickled onions, peppers and chillies pressed into the top lid. It was a strange choice that we didn’t really understand, and it soured our first impression a bit. The bread was soft with a nicely toasted interior, and held everything together well when we grabbed the burger. The patties would have benefited from a deeper crust in order to create more interesting textures in the otherwise very soft hamburger, but the first thing we noticed when we took our first bite was that the entire burger was too salty – and we immediately had to reach for our glass of water. The excessive amount of salt affected the entire meal and nothing else besides their pickles had a chance to break through the monotonous flavours. However, we would have liked their pickles to be a bit thicker to provide a more pleasant texture. The cheese wasn’t very appealing either, and the rather chewy cheese dragged the meal down without adding any creaminess. At least the french fries were well-cooked, with a nice crispy texture and a great potato flavour.

Unfortunately, we can’t recommend The King’s Fox burgers until they fix both their recipe and how they actually cook them.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @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.
