The best hamburger joints in Stockholm

Despite its slightly desolate location, Bun Meat Bun is worth the trip, serving casual fast food. The burgers are made using a special technique; the meat is 'smashed' rather than rolled to create thinner patties with a slight crisp. This is paired with an unusually fluffy potato bread - a dreamy combo.
