There's always a queue for this food truck, reflecting the extremely high quality of the hamburgers.

Burger heaven

Bun Meat Bun put Farsta on the hamburger map with delicious “fast casual” food and they now have several branches around Stockholm. The burgers are made using a special technique; the meat is 'smashed' rather than rolled to create thinner patties with a slightly crisp, caramelised surface. This is paired with unusually fluffy potato buns - a dreamy combo. Combine with a decadent milkshake made from organic ice cream from Lejonet & Björnen.
