Empes Gatukök stands out as a testament to the fact that sometimes the best food comes from the most unassuming places. This humble establishment has mastered the art of the perfect burger joint.
The burgers here are nothing short of exceptional. The meat is clearly high-quality, cooked to perfection with a satisfying char on the outside while remaining juicy inside. What's particularly impressive is the generous portion size – these aren't your typical modest Swedish servings, but rather hearty meals that satisfy even the hungriest visitors.
The fries deserve special mention. Served piping hot and clearly made fresh to order, they achieve that golden ratio of crispy exterior to fluffy interior that elevates them above standard fast-food fare. The thoughtful addition of seasonings for customers to customize their fries shows attention to detail that sets Empes apart.
The sauce selection is impressive and adds another layer of customization to your meal. Rather than limiting customers to one or two options, Empes provides an array of sauces that allows everyone to create their perfect combination.
The value proposition here is exceptional – generous portions of quality food at reasonable prices. In a region where dining out can be expensive, Empes Gatukök delivers satisfaction without breaking the bank.
What makes this place truly special is how it combines the efficiency of a fast-food joint with the quality you'd expect from a more upscale burger restaurant. It's the perfect spot for a satisfying meal after exploring Kiruna's attractions or following a day of...

It was like a home made patty with mashed potato holding some other veggies together and then crumbed and fried. The fries were crispy and tasty. My partners burger wasn't as good as he was hoping and was generally a bit flat...
Read moreThis place was the most highly rated fast food restaurant in Kiruna so we checked it out today. I ordered the chicken sandwich meal. The chicken was a microwaved frozen patty (yes I watched them pop it in the microwave) and the fries were fairly stale tasting. The sauce on the sandwich was pretty good and the coke tasted like coke. The service here was fine as well. I must be spoiled by...
