Top 10 burger restaurants in Stockholm

Lily’s Burger is located on Kungsholmen and Södermalm (close to Nytorget) and is a popular fast food place in a true diner style. It was opened by the actors Joel Kinnaman and Mahmut Suvakci from the Swedish movie Snabba Cash, and here you can often run into several of their celebrity friends. There are both juicy standard burgers and great specials with sides like cheese, butter-fried chanterelles, and truffle mayonnaise. The kitchen also makes the burger of the week, where you can never be sure of what you will get.

A visit to Griffins Steakhouse Extraordinaire in central Stockholm offers you a complete experience where design, art, culture, and food are woven together. The dining room is eccentrically furnished with odd furniture, and you can enjoy beautiful stucco and remarkable interior. What about the burgers then? Of course, they have the same high standard as the surroundings, from the meat and bread to the accessories. The supply of drinks is excellent as well.

At the gastro pub The Flying Elk in Old Town, you can enjoy a well-made and juicy hamburger with sophisticated accessories. Note that the burger is served every day in the bar, but only on Sundays in the restaurant.

Phil’s Burger has seven restaurants in central Stockholm, and here the focus is on the homemade, from the bread to the salad dressing and the French fries. The restaurant serves fast food cooked on-site with high ambitions, and, unlike many competitors, they have invested a little extra on the interior. The menu is simple; you can find the classic Phil’s Burger (160g), Double Phils (320 g), a junior burger with only meat, and a vegetarian burger with halloumi and avocado. And why not end your meal with a great milkshake?

Prime Burger can be found at seven locations in Stockholm. At this place, it’s 100% focus on the food, and you can really gormandize in American food.

Käk in Hornstull was opened by the Swedish rap artist Petter and offers a sense of New York with tasty street food, great hang out, and good music. The food is premium, and the menu includes four different burgers, including bacon, triple cheese, and a vegetarian option with portobello mushrooms. Of course, you’ll also find all the right accessories such as fries, milkshakes, and beer, plus a range of other fast foods like tacos, steak sandwiches, and Greek gyros. The place is relatively small, with only 25 seats, which can get crowded during prime times. Luckily there is a takeaway menu if you can’t find a seat.

If you don’t mind going a bit outside Stockholm city, we recommend a visit to Svenska Hamburgerköket at Telefonplan in Hägersten (take the metro red line against Fruängen). They make delicious burgers with high ambitions in terms of both the meat and the bread. Moreover, their milkshakes are fantastic. And how about more than 150 sorts of beer! The restaurant needs to be spiced up a bit, but you get unusually fast service on the other side.

Babas Burgers & Bites is another great place if you don’t mind leaving downtown Stockholm. This popular place has five locations, and the line is often long – the reason being that they make amazingly good burgers. And the prices are reasonable too. Here you will find all the classic hamburgers, but also specials like Latino burger and Middle East burger. They also serve food like chili, burrito, quesadilla, fish n ‘chips, and salads. If you don’t eat meat, you can get everything vegetarian and, in many cases, even vegan.
