Sailor är en kvarterskrog i ett vackert litet tegelhus i Fort Greene i Brooklyn, New York. Restaurangen är en del av en grupp om fyra krogar, där bland annat välkända Fairfax ingår. Vi tog tunnelbanan hela vägen ut dit för att testa deras burgare som på kort tid blivit den senaste snackisen i stan. Lokalen var ljus och vackert inredd, med stora fönster som gav en luftig och avslappnad känsla. Deras Sailor Burger – som endast serveras under lunchen – var förhållandevis enkel och bestod av en tjock köttpuck, ost, ”smält lök” och majonnäs. Den kostade 34 USD (310 kronor), och då ingick en generös portion pommes frites.

Burgaren serverades i en elegant skål tillsammans med pommesen, och såg magnifik ut. Köttet var luftigt och mjukt, samtidigt som det hade en krispig och välsmakande crust. Själva köttpucken var stekt perfekt medium rare och hade en lätt grillad ton. Brödet var välrostat men något torrt i kanterna, men samtidigt fungerade det bra då resten av burgaren var åt det mjukare hållet texturmässigt. Den smälta löken var som en otroligt krämig karamelliserad lök, och bjöd på en utsökt sötma som band ihop smakerna. Dessutom så var osten välsmält med en tydlig sälta som balanserade de övriga komponenterna väl. Här spelade majonnäsen en mer tillbakadragen roll, och bidrog främst med krämighet. Pommes fritesen hade en tydlig potatissmak, ett klart krispigt yttre och var härligt krämiga inuti. Vi testade även deras turkiska ägg för 23 USD (210 kronor), som absolut förtjänar ett omnämnande och är värda att beställa in om man är sugen på något annat (eller mer) än burgaren. Dessutom så var servicen helt lysande, med personal som var genuint serviceminded in i minsta detalj.

Sailor gör väldigt mycket rätt och rekommenderar varmt att du bokar ett bord och besöker dem för en elegant burgare i en otrolig miljö.

In English

Sailor is a neighbourhood bistro in a beautiful little brick building in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene in New York. The restaurant is part of a group of four establishments, including the well-known Fairfax. We took the subway all the way out there to try their burgers, which have recently become the latest craze in the city. The décor was light and beautifully designed with large windows offering a bright and relaxed atmosphere. Their Sailor Burger, which is only served during lunch hours, was relatively simple and consisted of a thick beef patty, cheese, ‘melted onions’ and mayonnaise for 34 USD, including a generous portion of fries.

Our burger arrived in an elegant bowl with the fries and looked amazing. The meat was tender and juicy, while still having a crispy and delicious crust. The patty was cooked to a perfect medium rare and tasted slightly grilled. The bun was well-toasted but a little dry on the edges, but it worked well with the rest of the burger, since it otherwise was pretty soft. The melted onions were incredibly creamy and had a caramelised flavour with a sweet note that worked well with the other ingredients. We liked the melted cheese and its distinct saltiness that balanced out the other ingredients. The mayo played a more discreet role and mainly added creaminess. The fries were great, crispy on the outside and creamy underneath. We also tried their Turkish egg for 23 USD (210 SEK), which is worth mentioning and is recommended for anyone looking to try something else than (or in addition to) a burger. The service was also excellent, with staff who were genuinely attentive to the smallest details.

Sailor do a lot of things right and we highly recommend booking a table and visiting them for an elegant burger in a fantastic environment.

🍔 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.
