4 Charles Prime Rib

4 Charles Prime Rib kan beskrivas som ett intimt vardagsrum i en källare i New York, och denna köttrestaurang med speakeasy-känsla drivs av ägarna av Au Cheval. Bord bokas upp till 30 dagar i förväg, men vi lyckades åtminstone boka en takeaway till nästkommande dag och kunde därför gå fram till baren och få vår mat efter bara tio minuters väntan. Vi promenerade till första bästa trappa med vår påse och åt vår dyra måltid där istället. Att äta på 4 Charles Prime Rib sägs vara en upplevelse man sällan glömmer där burgaren ofta serveras genom att servitören tar på sig vita handskar och delar burgaren åt besökaren. Därför var det lite roligt att vi faktiskt fick en vit handske i vår takeaway-påse.

Burgaren, som var en rejäl Double Wagyu Cheeseburger med 280 gram kött, ost, pickles och dijonnäs. Den kostade saftiga 37 USD (390 kronor), och vi lade dessutom till bacon för ytterligare 9 USD (95 kronor). Hiskeligt dyrt såklart, men redan vid första tuggan insåg vi att detta höll samma höga kvalitet som på Au Cheval. Köttet var mört och samtidigt otroligt fint stekt med en perfekt kryddning och en otroligt intensiv biffsmak. Baconet tillförde en utomordentlig smakdimension, med en härligt rökig smak och samma konsistens som rumstempererat smör. Osten, dijonnäsen och picklesen tillförde sin unika textur och smakerna samspelade perfekt, och i ett nafs var burgaren slut.

Eftersom vi hade ätit på Au Cheval bara några dagar tidigare så kunde vi känna vissa skillnader, även om de var otroligt lika varandra. Burgaren på 4 Charles Prime Rib var snäppet bättre, men båda kommer såklart med våra högsta rekommendationer om du vill fira något lite extra mycket. Om du har pengar att spendera och lyckas knipa ett bord så bör du ändå prioritera ett besök här och uppleva denna sensationella burgare.

In English

4 Charles Prime Rib is like an intimate living room, located in a New York City basement, and this steakhouse with a speakeasy atmosphere is run by the owners of Au Cheval. Reservations are made about 30 days in advance, but we managed to book a takeout the following day. So we went up to the bar and got our food in a paper bag 10 minutes later, and after finding some nearby stairs we sat down to enjoy our expensive meal. Eating at 4 Charles Prime Rib is said to be an unforgettable experience, as the staff members put on white gloves before dividing the burger, so we really appreciated getting a white glove in our bag.

Our massive Double Wagyu Cheeseburger consisted of 280-grams of beef, plus cheese, pickles and a dijonnaise. It cost an eye-watering 37 USD, and we also added bacon for a hefty 9 USD. This is an extremely high price for a burger of course, but after our first bite we could confirm that the quality was equally as good as it was at Au Cheval. The meat was tender, expertly cooked and seasoned, and with an incredibly intense beefiness. The bacon added amazing savoury and smokey flavours, with the same texture as room-temperature butter. The cheese, dijonnaise and pickles added their own unique textures, and the flavours worked together perfectly. And just like that, we’d finished our burger.

Seeing as we’d eaten at Au Cheval just a few days previously we could see some differences, but we have to say that they were very similar. The burger at 4 Charles Prime Rib was a smidgen better, but they both come with our highest recommendations if you’re in a celebratory mood. If you’ve got money to spend and manage to get a reservation you should really prioritise a visit to try this sensational burger.

🍔 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.
