Whether you happen to be an expat or tourist for a long weekend stay here is my curated list of the best burgers of Stockholm:
1. Best Burger in Stockholm for bragging rights: Flippin Burgers
Flippin Burgers has to be mentioned on this list with its critically acclaimed appeal and succulent tasting burger menu.
The restaurant has over the last few years been making its mark by being arguably the best burger restaurant in Stockholm by most. One of the original pioneers of the premium burger scene since 2012, Flippin Burgers have made their mark by focusing on the finer details.
No expense is spared on providing the best ingredients possible sourcing some of the finest ground beef for your patty along with buns that are baked twice and sourced locally.
Not only this but if you are feeling lucky and in the mood for something a lot more adventurous then the ‘Flimpy’ burger which is actually off menu might be the one for you.
The ‘Flimpy’ for those who dare is a towering 4 patty burger (each patty at 50 grams) packed with heaps of flavour and includes cheddar with white onions to go down a treat.
Such strides for perfection to make the best burger means that customers are willing to wait in long queues (sometimes hours!) in order to get a table. It is worth the wait but it’s perhaps better to avoid the weekend crowd!
The interior combines both the origins of an American diner mixed in with Scandi sleekness ensuring the best of both worlds are met.
There are two branches of the restaurant you can visit in Stockholm so you have a couple of options at the ready.

2. Best Burger in Stockholm for a Date: Barrels Burger
Established in 2016 this is one of the finer looking restaurants on the list to indulge in one of the top burgers of the Swedish capital.
The burger ingredients are what you can expect and more as they use the finest premium beef carefully chosen and grounded at the restaurant on a daily basis. This is followed up by having some of the fluffiest bread buns from artisan local bakery Bread & Salt.
In total their curated beef and bun equation hits the spot and where the crowds of people typically swarm to indulge in a moment of Barrel burger goodness.
Try the ‘Barrel’s Cheeseburger’ or the aptly named ‘Eiffel’ that packs in béarnaise sauce, roasted onion and the cheddar cheese. Indeed a few burgers with a twist definitely keep you guessing and make it more of a unique selling point.
Cool exposed lighting with sleek wood panelling make for the interior to feel cosy and charming. It can make for a good burger date night or even with close friends wanting to experience something a bit different from the rest of the patty pack!
Due to their on-going success there are now 3 restaurants in Stockholm across Gamla Stan, City and Sodermalm so you have options depending where you’re located in the city.
Finally accompany your burger with a pint of beer (consisting of microbrewery options too) and immerse yourself into more conversation and laughter.

This is in fact a celebrity owned business with Swedish actors, Joel Kinnaman and Mahmut Suvakci starting the venture also giving it a slightly elevated showbiz feel.

5. Best Burger in Stockholm for a lunchtime treat: Phil’s Burger
Phil’s boasts 11 restaurants in the capital but don’t let that fool you into thinking the taste of their burgers comes up short because they certainly don’t!
Their restaurants provide customers with an upmarket bistro atmosphere and really put the effort into delivering burgers which look and taste both impeccable.
The menu consists of burgers met with tender cuts of beef alongside mixtures of cheddar cheese, onions, pickles and salad to tantalise the tongue! If new try out the ‘Phil’ Burger or the delightfully named ‘Crispy Truffle’.
If either of those don’t take your fancy then perhaps ‘Phil’s Vegan Burger’ will do trick?
One of the great things about this restaurant is they’ve really understood customers changing tastes and were one of the very first to collaborate with Beyond Meat.
An ideal place for a lunchtime burger Phil’s also brings convenience to the table with its many restaurants in the city. Perfect for those needing to recharge after some Stockholm city sights.
