18th. Bardus Bistro – Tromso

Bardus Bistro takes inspiration from the bistros of southern Europe, so expect local and seasonal ingredients fro Tromsø, including reindeer and king crab. Their signature burger though, is a real highlight. It’s made with local beef and comes with onion marmalade, pickled cucumber, Sriracha mayo, and fluffy hand cut chips.

17th. Smakeriet BurgerBar – Bekkjarvik

13th. Troys Burger – Oslo

A tiny restaurant in the centre of Oslo that packs a big punch when it comes to the flavour of their burgers. Their truffle infused burger is one that gets people talking, and it won’t let you down. The savoury and rich truffle flavour with the tender beef makes an incredible combination.

12th. Burgasm –  Bodø

11th. Wünderburger – 0slo

This laidback burger joint has a great selection of inventive burgers, including a lamb version, but it’s hard to look past the classic with that super crispy bacon. Although, we defy anyone not to be tempted by their droolworthy triple onion burger… Chilled vibes and a great space to come and hang out with friends.

5th. GoGrilla Foodtruck – Oslo

Nothing tastes better than a burger served from a street truck, eaten in the palm of your hand. Their burgers look fast food-esque but taste very gourmet. The perfect combination in our eyes.
