Tjoget

Tjoget vid Hornstull i Stockholm är en restaurang och bar som är flerfaldigt prisbelönad för sina drinkar och anses vara en av världens bästa cocktailbarer. På Burgerdudes recenserar vi tyvärr inte drinkar, men under söndagsbrunchen och när de får feeling så dyker det upp en burgare på menyn. Tjogets Burgare kostar 195 kronor, och är en cheeseburgare med saltgurka, rödlök och lite majonnäs. Vid sidan om burgaren så medföljer det även pommes frites och en skål med parmesan-majonnäs.

Brödet kändes spänstigt och färskt, vilket var en bra start. Köttpucken hade formats på plats, och strukturen var klart godkänd. Det märktes att den relativt höga köttpucken var gjord på högkvalitativa råvaror och den var fint kryddad. Däremot så var den lite ojämnt tillagad, och vi hade föredragit att den stekts hårdare och lite kortare tid för att få både saftighet och en härligt karamelliserad yta. Bitarna med saltgurka var goda och rejält tilltagna, men tillförde aningen mycket sälta som osten och löken inte riktigt lyckades balansera ut. Vi kände att burgaren saknade fokus, och att den spretade något rent smakmässigt. Vad gällde tillbehören så var pommes fritesen var väldigt bra med en ordentligt krispig yta och ett mjukt inre, och de höll formen under hela måltiden. Parmesan-majonnäsen var dessutom utmärkt, och lyfte verkligen smakerna.

Om Tjoget började servera sina burgare regelbundet på sin meny så tror vi nog att de skulle kunna finslipa detaljerna mer. Det finns som sagt många anledningar att besöka Tjoget, och då skadar det inte att testa deras hamburgare. Men än så länge så är det inte burgaren som är huvudmålet för vårt nästa besök.

In English

Tjoget in Stockholm’s Hornstull area is an award-winning restaurant and cocktail bar that’s known all over the world for its drinks. Unfortunately we don’t review cocktails here at Burgerdudes, but during their Sunday brunches (and when they feel like it) they have a hamburger on their menu. Tjoget’s Burger costs 195 SEK (23.5 USD), and is a cheeseburger with pickles, red onions and mayonnaise. It comes with an order of fries and a small bowl of parmesan mayo.

The bun felt fresh and bouncy, which was a good start. We could see that the relatively high beef patty was made from high quality ingredients, and it had been seasoned properly. However, it hadn’t been cooked evenly, and we would have preferred a harder and shorter sear in order for it to get a nice maillard reaction while still staying juicy on the inside. The pickles were tasty and pretty large, but a bit too salty, leaving the cheese and red onions struggling to balance out the flavours. We felt that the burger lacked focus, and that the flavours were a bit all over the place. Sideorder wise, the fries were really yummy with a soft centre and a crispy exterior that kept its form throughout our meal. The parmesan mayo was excellent as well, and really lifted the flavours.

We are pretty certain that Tjoget easily could get their ducks in a row if they added their burger permanently to their menu. Seeing as there are many reasons out there to visit Tjoget, you shouldn’t be disappointed if you order their burger. But right now the hamburger itself won’t be the main reason for our next trip there.

🇸🇪 Burger House Homemade ★☆☆☆☆

Burger House Homemade is located right by the E18 outside Kristinehamn and is hard to miss from the road. The restaurant is decorated like a colourful American 1950s diner, with a large menu where the burgers come in several sizes. The prices were steep, with a burger containing 120 grams of beef costing 189 SEK (20 USD) and a 200-gram version a whopping 289 SEK (31 USD), meaning an extra 100 SEK (11 USD) for just 80 grams more beef. However, we struggled to find a burger where the ingredients felt thoughtfully put together. In the end, we ordered a Cheeseburger with 200 grams of beef, double cheddar, caramelised onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles and burger sauce. Fries were included, but with a soft drink the final bill came to well over 300 SEK (32 USD).

The burger was sloppily assembled and covered in sauce when it arrived. The two smashed patties, made from Swedish chuck, had a lightly grilled flavour, but they’d been pressed too hard and had a compact, chewy texture. The beef was also oversalted and tasted really dull. In contrast, the burger sauce, onions and, strangely enough, even the pickles were very sweet, and none of the flavours worked particularly well together. The lettuce had been placed underneath the beef, where the heat had turned it translucent and limp. The sesame bun had been coloured yellow with turmeric and grilled hard on the outside in a sandwich press, while the inside was left almost completely untoasted. This made it soggy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The result was a messy burger with poorly handled beef at an outrageously high price. The fries were at least okay and the portion was very filling, but that was the only positive part of the meal.

Burger House Homemade felt more like a trap for hungry motorists than a craft burger place with homemade burgers, and we found nothing that justified the unreasonably high prices. We recommend holding out a little longer and finding something tastier and better value further down the road if you’re craving a burger on your journey.

🇸🇪 @rollinbistrosbackyard ★★★★☆

Rollin Bistros started out as a food truck in 2014 and opened their Backyard in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg, in 2020, which we visited shortly afterwards. Since 2024, they’ve also served our favourite burger in Gothenburg. One thing that’s consistent at Rollin Bistros is the craftsmanship, which was evident in both the food and the huge yet intimate venue. During our latest visit, we ordered two burgers: a double Classic Cheese with two smashed patties, cheddar, white onions, dill pickles and burger sauce for 220 SEK (22 USD), as well as the bistro-style Home Run with just one thick beef patty and cheese for 195 SEK (19.5 USD). We also ordered a portion of teriyaki onion rings for 95 SEK (9.5 USD).

It’s always a bold move to serve a burger with just beef, bun and cheese, but the Home Run really let the ingredients shine. The thick beef patty was juicy, with a slightly pink centre and a nice crust. It tasted really good in all its simplicity, although the meat had been salted a little too heavily. The bun from a local bakery was airy, held together well and had a buttery richness that we appreciated. The smashed cheeseburger also had tasty beef, and although it was naturally more well-done, it was still juicy. The cheese was creamy, the onions added a nice texture and the burger sauce was like a more grown-up and mature version of a classic burger sauce. The problem here was their pickles, which were a bit floppy since they were made with regular cucumbers, with a sharp flavour that reminded us more of a Swedish crayfish party than a burger. As always, the star of the menu was their sides, something they’ve never failed at. The onion rings were crispy and served with an addictive teriyaki ripple and an equally fantastic MSG mayo. The soft serve ice-cream also impressed, with interesting toppings such as foie gras and caramel sauce for 115 SEK (11.5 USD) as well as yuzu, toasted sesame seeds and crispy meringues for 75 SEK (7.5 USD).

Rollin Bistros keep flying the flag high on Gothenburg’s burger scene, and we also recommend a visit to Gamlestaden for the sides, desserts and service.
