Their buns are baked and meats are ground in the restaurants. The mayonnaises and french fries are made by the staff as well.[1] The french fries are made with a so-called triple-cook method meaning that they are fried three times in different temperatures. The Finnish restaurant's domesticity rate is about 98%. The meals are almost fully additive-free.[2]

History

edit

The first Friends & Brgrs restaurant was opened in Jakobstad in 2014.[3] After that they have spread out to other cities in Finland, as well as Germany in 2017.[4]
