What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bastard Burgers garners praise for its excellent smash burgers, with many calling them the best in Sweden. The urban-inspired atmosphere and friendly service are frequently highlighted. However, some diners have noted issues with portion sizes for certain sides like onion rings, and a few have experienced very slow or virtually non-existent service, particularly when ordering via kiosks.
"We went here for the first time during NFC. The resturant looks really cool with its urban style. The staff was super friendly as well, explaining everything to us in English. And the food.. my God, I think it's one of the best burgers I've had. I don't understand why you would go to maxburgers with this resturant around."

"We ordered the Double Bastard Burger and two kids’ meals—nuggets and a burger.
Everything was delicious, and the staff were friendly"

"The service was good and fast, and the restaurant was very clean.
My experience with the food was a mixed bag, particularly because of the onion rings. I was surprised to receive only three small onion rings for 35 kr. This felt like a poor value, and I think it would be helpful if the menu specified the quantity or an estimated weight so customers know what to expect.
The main lunch was okay, but not great. The price for lunch is cheap, which makes it a good time to try the restaurant."

Eat: What to eat in Malmö
Occupying a townhouse in the prettiest part of Malmö, Bastard is the elder statesman of its contemporary dining scene, but it remains a fun place to knock back a bottle of natural wine and tuck into something casual — a pot of pig's head terrine, say, or green asparagus with almonds and lumpfish roe.
Culinary Malmö, Sweden
Understanding Malmö as a culinary destination requires both dinner at raw, innovative Michelin-starred restaurant Bastard run by tattooed chef Andreas Dahlberg and a visit to Saluhallen (opened in 2016), where you can sample herring, elk, local cheese and more. After perusing the stalls, head to the rear left corner of the market to Hedvigsdal pizza outlet.
