Updated 7 Oct 2019

Stockholm has embraced this trend and houses an abundance of great hamburger joints, retro-chic diners and NYC-cool eateries. A juicy medium-rare burger, freshly baked brioche bread and crispy French fries washed down with a creamy milkshake - what could be better? So as to help you peruse the offerings we have created this guide to the best hamburger joints in Stockholm. Be sure to check out our guide to restaurants in Stockholm that serve amazing hamburgers as well.
Bun Meat Bun
2 addressesBurger heaven
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.
- Price: About 59 (small) - 95 SEK, fries about 25 SEK
