Absolutely Febo. The shops make me smile like a loon, especially the fact that when you want fries, you have to talk to the person at the counter (that also stuffs the hot food into the huge automat).

Review: Hesburger

The price is pretty standard - you'll find McDs here is the same.

Hesburger is, however, the safer side of fast food dining in Finland. To experience the seemier underbelly, go to a grilli. Only open under cover of darkness, and consumed under cover of drunkenness, the grilli specialises in fried meat products, usually accompanied with a deep fried savoury donut bun. The "best in Finland" is served at Jaskan Grilli near the Parliament building. Ask for a Jaskan Special.

A very good start, and a fine addition to the world of foodblogs, but you aren't the only hamburger weblog, nor the first: TexasBurgerGuy has made me want to go to Texas just to buy a burger.

Review: Hesburger

You Find Scanburger from Kamppi Shopping Center (very close to city center) and Rolls in Itäkeskus City Jätti (which is not in city Center at all, but you need to take metro to Itäkeskus - which at least used to be largest Shopping Center in Scandinavia).

The original Grill of Hese.

Review: Hesburger

Now there used to be a hamburger chain called clock and another one called carrols. Hesburger bought carrols, which was pretty much near bancrupty. It was much more like Mc than Heseburger (hese). Hese left couple of restaurants in Helsinki - one of which is on Aleksanterinkatu. Also Mc has been in great trouble in previous years, while Hese thrived.

Most competin chains are now situated outside Helsinki and only slowly reaching Helsinki. On top of Scanburger mentioned before there is also Rolls, which at least previously used to have great burgers and little specialities. Also the original "Grill" of Hese in Turku was great (some 10 years ago though).

They have at least a salmon burger.

Good call Thor. I'll go back and add burger prices for the places I reviewed.
