American Diner Andra

Taito City, Tokyo 110-0015, Japan· €€· Visited June 2026

Touchdown Burger on a sizzling cast-iron plate in Tokyo. The show is fun, but it's the flavor that stays with you.

I had heard about American Diner Andra, and above all about their Touchdown Burger, a burger served on a sizzling cast-iron plate and given a proper bath in cheese sauce at the table. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical beforehand. It sounded…

Pom Friterie

Stockholm, Sweden· €€€· Visited April 2025

Dutch owners, a single obsession and loaded fries that turn the rest of the menu into supporting acts.

I tend to be stingy with superlatives, especially when it comes to something as everyday as fries. It's food that usually sits at the edge of the plate, doing its job without anyone talking about it. After Pom Friterie, I have to give up…

Henry's Burger Harajuku

6 Chome-12-15 Jingumae, Japan· €€· Visited June 2026

Kentaro Nakahara's burger joint unites American burger culture with Japanese wagyu. Small, simple and really good.

The burger joint comes from Kentaro Nakahara, the chef behind the acclaimed wagyu restaurant Sumibi Yakiniku Nakahara. When someone who has geeked out this deeply on wagyu decides to make hamburgers, you start to wonder whether that…

Hasselsson tusenlager

Kungstorget, Sweden· Visited June 2026

A really great sandwich in Stora Saluhallen serving up flavor and a little something extra.

I've tried several of Hasselsson's eateries over the years, and one thing that consistently stands out is that they really know what they're doing. It's the kind of thing you learn to trust. So when I found Hasselsson Tusenlager in Stora…

Mackbaren Nobelplatsen

Göteborg, Sweden· €€· Visited June 2026

From food truck to one of Gothenburg's best sandwiches.

Mackbaren has gone from a small cart to several permanent locations in Gothenburg, and it's easy to see why. They serve thoughtful, well-made sandwiches that are worth a detour. I tried their restaurant at Nobelplatsen. I've followed…

Brogrillen (Grillbaren)

Bro, Sweden· €€€· Visited May 2026

A classic street kitchen in central Bro with generous portions and a wrap you put together yourself.

Brogrillen in Bro lives up to its reputation as a high-quality classic street kitchen. I've been here several times before, and the experience has always been the same: really good food, generous portions and consistent quality. This time…

Meat On A Stick

Stockholm, Sweden· €€· Visited April 2026

Meat On A Stick is a really nice place for those who like kebab but want something more refined than the classic standard variety. It is clear that the owner has truly geeked out over kebab – or perhaps more accurately, over the whole…

Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap

Berlin, Germany· €· Visited April 2025

One of the original spots for the real Berlin döner – come early to avoid the longest lines.

Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap is one of those places you hear about long before you get to Berlin, and one that actually lives up to the hype. I wanted to experience the real Berlin döner experience, and this is one of the original spots, so it…

Brunos korvbar

Stockholm, Sweden· €€€· Visited October 2026

Simple but really good sausage with great ingredients on Södermalm.

Sometimes you don't want anything complicated at all, just something really good. That's when I often end up at Brunos korvbar. I've been here several times by now and have always left satisfied. It's the kind of place you quickly add to…

Focaccia Centro

Alingsås, Sweden· €€€€· Visited October 2026

A small sandwich spot in central Alingsås where sauces and fillings are made from scratch

A good sandwich is harder to make than it looks, and it's usually in what goes between the bread that it falls apart. So I was pleased to find out that Focaccia Centro makes its own sauces and fillings. The place in central Alingsås is…

THE BURGER STAND FELLOWS

〒160-0004 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Yotsuya, 4 Chome−２５−10· €€· Visited June 2026

One of Tokyo's burger veterans is back with hearty charcoal-grilled burgers, now in Yotsuya.

I'd been tipped off that THE BURGER STAND FELLOWS served really good burgers, and that's a tip that's hard to resist when you're in Tokyo. So I made a stop in Yotsuya to see if the rumor held up. In short, it does. THE BURGER STAND FELLOWS…

Bamba Gatukök / Bambabilen Foodtruck

Värmdö, Sweden· Visited May 2026

From the outside, Bamba Gatukök on Värmdö looks rather nondescript. It’s perhaps not exactly the kind of place that at first glance suggests it serves really good birria tacos. Instead, you get the vibe of a classic Swedish snack bar…

Falafel Bar

Stockholm, Sweden· €€· Visited September 2025

Falafelbaren on Hornsgatan in Söder is a really nice lunch spot with a great atmosphere and good service. I have only tried lunch here, but the impression has been very positive. The place is quite small, so it's a good idea to arrive…
