Restaurang APA öppnade sin första restaurang redan 2015, och senaste gången vi besökte dem var 2017 när de bara fanns i Sundsvall. Numera finns de även i Hudiksvall och Härnösand, och när vi besökte dem i centrala Hudiksvall under en fredag så visade det sig att de enbart serverade en sliderbuffé under denna tid. Så vi beställde varsin lunchbuffé för 169 kronor, och i den ingick obegränsat med kött- och kycklingsliders, toppings, pommes frites, lökringar och även kaffe. Under ordinarie tider kostar deras 175-gramsburgare från 159 kronor styck.

Den ganska enkla buffén fylldes på konstant under vårt besök, och allt var nylagat och ganska fräscht. Miniburgarna fanns som chiliburgare med högrev, pepper jack-ost, chipotledressing, picklad lök, krispsallad, inlagd chili och tomat samt tryffelburgare med cheddar, krispsallad, tomat och originaldressing. Sen fick vi ta egna toppings som pickles, krispsallad, picklad rödlök samt såser som whiskeycheddar och chipotledressing. Trots att burgarna var små så var de omsorgsfullt monterade, och de hade även lagom mycket ingredienser. Brödet var mjukt och fluffigt och köttet var välkryddat och relativt saftigt – om än ganska litet. Chiliburgaren bjöd på rejält med hetta och tryffelburgaren var ganska tryffelstinn, men balansen fanns där ändå. Vi gillade även lökringarna som var frasigt krispiga med ett smakrikt inre, och även chipotledressingen var riktigt god. De krispiga pommes fritesen var dessutom klart dugliga. Övriga grönsaker var lite väl kalla, men det kan bero på bufféupplägget.

Restaurang APA bjöd på goda burgare utan några större krusiduller. Vi får återkomma om kvaliteten på deras vanliga burgare, men buffén var både godkänd och helt klart prisvärd om du besöker dem under fredagslunchen.

In English

Restaurant APA opened their first restaurant in 2015, and the last time we visited them was in 2017 when they only had a location in Sundsvall. Nowadays, they also have restaurants in Hudiksvall and Härnösand, and when we visited them in the centre of Hudiksvall on a Friday, it turned out that they only served a slider buffet during this time. So we ordered a lunch buffet for 169 SEK (15.5 USD) each, which included unlimited beef and chicken sliders, toppings, fries, onion rings and even coffee. During regular hours, their 175-gram beef burgers start at SEK 159 (14.5 USD) each.

The fairly modest buffet was constantly replenished during our visit, and everything was freshly prepared. The mini burgers were available as chilli burgers with beef, pepper jack cheese, chipotle sauce, pickled onions, lettuce, pickled chilies and tomato, as well as truffle burgers with cheddar, lettuce, tomato and original sauce. Then we added our own toppings like pickles, lettuce, pickled red onions and sauces like whiskey cheddar and chipotle sauce. Even though the sliders were small, they were still well assembled, with just the right amount of ingredients. The buns were soft and fluffy and the meat was well seasoned and relatively juicy – albeit quite small. The chilli burger was spicy, and the truffle burger was quite rich, but the balance was still there. We also liked the onion rings, which were crispy with a flavourful interior, and the chipotle sauce was also really good. The crispy french fries were also decent. The other vegetables were a bit too cold, but this may be due to the buffet setup.

Restaurant APA offer good burgers without any major frills. We will have to report back on the quality of their regular burgers, but the buffet was worth both your time and your money if you visit them during their Friday lunch service.

Recension från 13 december 2017

Recension skriven av Stefan Wadstedt

Apa har varit Sundsvalls premiumval när det gäller hamburgare sen öppningen 2015. De har 11 hamburgare på menyn, varav ett vegetariskt alternativ. Alla burgare görs på nymald hängmörad högrev på 150 eller 300 gram, och brödet bakas lokalt av Stenstans Bageri. Det finns även ett glutenfritt bröd som alternativ.

Vi valde den klassiska bacon- & cheeseburgaren med krispsallad, tomat, bacon, cheddar, majonnäs och picklad rödlök för 119 kronor utan dryck eller tillbehör. Trots ett vackert utseende med nersmält cheddar och ett snyggt salladsblad fick våra förväntningar sig en törn när vi kände att brödet på burgaren var kallt. Foul 1.

Köttet smakade däremot fint och var saftigt även om den borde ha varit lite mindre kompakt. Osten var god och både den krispiga salladen och syran från den picklade rödlöken bidrog till en bra balans i burgaren. Vi hade gärna sett lite mer bacon, samtidigt som den kunde fått ligga kvar ett uns längre på stekbordet för rätt konsistens.

Med lite svajig service och en burgare som inte riktigt levde upp till förväntningarna har Apa precis det som krävs för att kamma hem en trea Vi hoppas dock vi slipper kallt bröd nästa gång och att de kanske lägger lite mer kärlek på burgarna överlag.

Apa has been Sundsvall’s go-to place for Burgers since 2015. We chose their classic cheese & bacon burger with 150 grams of freshly ground chuck, cheddar cheese, bacon, mayonnaise, tomato, crisp lettuce and pickled red onion. Even though it looked good, our expectations were brought down when we felt the cold bread. The patty was juicy but a bit too compact for our liking. Thankfully, the crispy lettuce, cheese and pickled red onion did a good job of balancing the flavours. The bacon could have been a bit firmer, and we would have liked a larger portion as well. This time APA’s burger did just enough for our tastebuds to push it up to a 3-pointer. We just hope that we don’t get a cold bun next time we visit Sundsvall.

🇦🇪 @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.
