Europe Food Burger

Europe is a paradise for burgers. From top-class gourmet efforts, to cheap, quick and delicious bites, we’ve got you covered as we traverse across the continent from Reykjavik to Rome and Barcelona to Belgrade to find the very best burgers in Europe to wrap your tastebuds around.

Smash Hits and Gourmet Stacks: Europe's Top 50 Burger Joints

50. Burger Craft – Budva, Montenegro

When a burger joint has just ten burgers on its menu, you know they’re all about quality over quantity. And that’s exactly what you can expect at Burger Craft, Budva. Open seven days a week, they offer everything from the classic hamburger to pulled pork, bacon and egg, chicken and even a vegan burger. If you like your food to have a kick, we recommend their spicy burger, which is topped with hot peppers, hot sauce and garlic-infused sour cream. Delicious!


49. Old Buddies Burger Bar – Varna, Bulgaria

While the capital of Bulgaria has some excellent burger joints, sometimes it's worth travelling to the lesser-known parts of the country for that perfect meal – and Old Buddies Burger Bar in Varna is the perfect hidden gem. They serve up all of the classics, Old Buddies style – large, in-your-face, and deliciously juicy. We recommend trying the ‘Superstition Super Double’ – but be warned, you’ll need to bring a large appetite: this burger is made up of four thick beef patties, eight slices of cheddar and topped with pickles, lettuce, onion and burger sauce. 


48. Ground Burger – Lisbon, Portugal

Craving that authentic American cheeseburger in Europe? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Ground Burger in Lisbon has been flipping patties and pouring craft beers for a decade, and it’s safe to say that they know what they’re doing when it comes to burgers. All of their burgers are made fresh in-house, and let’s face it – there are few better combos in the culinary world than a burger and a beer. We recommend their bacon cheese, made with 100% Black Angus beef and crispy Portuguese bacon.


47. Estonian Burger Factory – Tallinn, Estonia

Estonia is known for its incredible burger scene, but few places in the country rival Estonian Burger Factory in Tallinn when it comes to creating that perfect bite. Found right on the coast, next to the ferry port, they specialise in mini-burgers, or sliders. This is a great opportunity to try out a few different flavours that you might not normally go for – and you simply must try their truffle pesto and double cheese offering, a rich, creamy treat, served up in a bite-sized burger. You can combine any three mini-burgers for €19.


46. Klüg Burgers – Majorca, Spain

Drawing their inspiration from the Germanic burger culture, Klüg Burgers (which means Clever Burgers in English) can be found in Palma, the capital of the Spanish island of Majorca. They’re the pioneers of the bustling hamburger scene in Palma, and when you take a closer look, it’s easy to see why. Fresh potato buns, made daily on-site, smash burgers with those ultra-crispy edges, and gooey cheese – what more could you want? Perhaps one of their ice-cold beers to wash it all down with – perfection.


45. Tom’s Smashed Burgers – Penarth, Wales

Smash burgers have taken the world by storm over the last couple of years, and when they’re done right, they’re hard to beat. Somewhere they’re always done right is at Tom’s Smashed Burgers in Penarth, Wales. For the ultimate smash burger experience, you’ve got to try their mouth-watering blue cheese burger, served with blue cheese and a blue cheese mayo. Combine this with their dirty chicken fries and you’ve got the best of both worlds – and a burger that you’ll never forget.


44. Haps Burgerbar – Tórshavn, Faroe Islands

Perhaps one of the most remote burger places in this article, Haps Burgerbar can be found in Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, which sit in the North Atlantic, about halfway between Scotland and Iceland. And believe us, these burgers are worth travelling for. We recommend trying their ‘Chef’s Choice’ burger: a juicy cheeseburger, topped with aioli, pickled cucumber, smoked bacon and caramelised onion. You’ll be back for more, time and time again.


43. Moaburger – Krakow, Poland

Moaburger is one of the most famous burger joints in Poland, and it’s little surprise as to why. Their original store is still operating in Kraków, but due to its sheer popularity, they’ve also opened up another in Wrocław. Their carefully selected ingredients and great care taken with making their burgers means that you’re in for a real treat – their burger chefs are pure artists. If you’re in touch with your Millennial side, you’ve simply got to try their Avo Bacon burger, or if you’re feeling decadent, it has to be truffle and French brie. 


42. Big Daddy Smash Burgers – Belgrade, Serbia

Talk about doing what it says on the tin – Big Daddy Smash Burgers certainly live up to their reputation! Big, juicy, and packed full of flavour, these are some of the best burgers in Belgrade, and arguably even in Serbia. And the best bit is that all of their burgers come available as a meal – that includes the burger, a side of crispy fries and a soft drink. Even their most expensive offering (the Big Daddy Smash) comes in at just over €11 for the whole meal. We also highly recommend getting some of their homemade sauces – especially the curry mango dip!


41. Diego’s – Rotterdam, Netherlands

Diego’s claims to be Rotterdam’s best burger restaurant, and it’s hard to argue otherwise. They use the very finest ingredients to create the perfect burger experience, proving that burgers can absolutely be a part of gourmet dining. And when we say finest, we mean it: we’re talking A5 Japanese Wagyu and Foie Gras. If you’re feeling indulgent and want a real foodie experience, then we recommend going here – you certainly won’t forget this burger once you’ve tried it.


40. Bastard Burgers – Helsinki, Finland

‘Eat Like A Bastard’ is the tagline for Bastard Burgers in Helsinki, and when your brand image is that bold, you’ve got to live up to it. And live up to it they do. They have several different burgers on their menu, but each day of the week, they offer up a special, which is served with fries and a drink for that day only. As it’s in Helsinki, you have to try the Helsinki Burger for a true taste of Finland: a juicy all-beef patty, topped with caramelised onions, jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, tomato, lettuce and sweet & hot sauce. 

 

39. Texas Backyard – Limassol, Cyprus

A taste of the American south in the beautiful Mediterranean sun – yes, please! It’s no secret that the Cypriots love their barbecues, so what better to put on the grill than some delicious burgers – but make them Texas-style, where they also love their barbecues, too! That means huge burgers, simply stacked with flavours. We recommend their pulled pork and ’slaw burger, which also has a full double cheeseburger underneath it, before being drenched in their housemade Texas barbecue sauce. Yee-haw!

 

38. Manhattn’s Burgers – Brussels, Belgium

Opened by two brothers after a visit to New York City in 2012, Manhattn’s Burgers took its inspiration from the vibrant burger scene in the Big Apple. They combined their knowledge of burgers and American burger culture with Belgian flavours and Irish Angus grass-fed beef to create the ultimate Brussels burgers. Their NYC inspiration is loud and clear in their burgers, with names such as the Harlem Burger, the Rockefeller Burger and the Empire Cheeseburger. However, there’s also lots on offer for veggies too – and we highly recommend giving Brookyln Falafel Burger a go, for the ultimate veggie burger experience.

 

37. Rinderwahn – Vienna, Austria

With a restaurant open during the day and the street food cart open at night, Rinderwahn is the place to get your burger fix next time you’re in Vienna. All of their beef is 100% Austrian, and their buttery brioche buns are made in-store every single day. They also cook their beef burgers medium for the ultimate juicy taste, but if you prefer it cooked another way, just let them know. Our personal favourite is the Fat Berta: a delicious beef patty, topped with crispy hashbrowns, fried onions, melted emmental cheese, homemade mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and mustard.

 

36. Oh My French Burger – Paris, France

Burgers are probably not at the top of your list when it comes to thinking of food in the French capital, but you’re missing a trick if you don’t pay a visit to Oh My French Burger in Paris. Specialising in smash burgers, Oh My French Burger combine passionate French cooking with simple, comfort-food burgers, and it creates a burger like no other. We’re talking gooey French brie on top of not one, not two, but three smashed beef patties, simply oozing with juice; not forgetting about those crispy edges either. A burger experience like no other.

 

35. Surf Shack – Malmö, Sweden

The Nordic countries are known for their incredible burger scene, and what better to warm you up after a cold day in the snow in Sweden than a big, juicy burger from Surf Shack? While they have several burgers on their menu, our favourite thing is that you can build your own, so you can customise it exactly as you like it. Not a fan of pickles? No worries, don’t add them on! Extra cheese? Oh, go on then! They’ve also got an incredible range of sides to choose from, and if anybody you’re with isn’t feeling a burger, then they’ve also got a large pizza menu to choose from, too. 

 

34. Delibros – Tirana, Albania

‘Purveyors of the best burger experience’ is what Delibros’ tagline claims – and they’re right. Another burger joint inspired by a visit to NYC, Delibros offers up some of the best smash burgers in Albania, without question. We recommend their Rrelsi Burger for a taste of NYC in Tirana – a juicy beef smash patty, American cheese, and homemade smoked pastrami on top. The best of both worlds.

 

33. Ponas Mesainis – Vilnius, Lithuania

Lithuania might not be at the top of your list for burgers, but Ponas Mesainis is well worthy of a place on this list. Red plastic trays, red and white checkered paper that the burgers are served on – you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stepped back in time to a 1950s American diner. And the smash burgers give off that vibe too: classic comfort food – nothing too fancy, nothing too expensive, just good, old-fashioned comfort food in the shape of a double cheese smash. Perfection!

 

32. Lucky 7 Burgers – Budapest, Hungary

In the heart of Budapest is one of Hungary’s best burgers – and you’ve got to be Hungary (sorry!) to eat one of their massive burgers. Alongside all of the classics like hamburgers and cheeseburgers, there are also some unique offerings. If you want something that you hardly see anywhere else, then go for their Duck Burger – a grilled duck thigh, topped with onion jam. Or, for an authentic taste of Hungary, try their Hungarian Burger – a beef patty topped with grilled goose liver and a paprika-tomato stew.

 

31. Picadillo Burger Nest – Crete, Greece

In Heraklion, the capital of the Greek island of Crete, Picadillo Burger Nest is flinging out some of the finest sizzling patties in the country. Whether you want to try one of their 100% Aberdeen Angus juicy beef patties in the form of a half-pounder, or whether you want to go Greek style, and enjoy a sizzling chicken burger topped with halloumi, the choice is yours. Simply grab a seat, peruse the menu and order an icy cold beverage and some crispy hand-cut fries to go with it.

 

30. OK Burger Algarve – Albufeira, Portugal

Despite its name, this burger is anything but OK – it’s outstanding! Found in the popular tourist town of Albufeira in the Algarve, southern Portugal, OK Burger takes its name from the abbreviation of the US state, Oklahoma, and it incorporates Oklahoman flavours into its Portuguese grilled beef burgers. You’ve got to go for their namesake burger, topped with crispy fried onions. Make sure to order a side order of their Portuguese-style fries for that ultimate US-Portuguese fusion experience.

 

29. Sporvejen – Copenhagen, Denmark

Homemade burgers served in homemade buttered sesame buns – it doesn’t get much better than that when it comes to a comfort food dining experience, does it? The burgers are also served with homemade potato wedges, seasoned to perfection. They only have a few burgers on the menu to choose from, but this is all about quality over quantity. We suggest either the Curry Burger, served with a curry dressing, fried egg and caviar, or the Garlic Burger, served with a garlic dressing and steamed mussels: the perfect surf and turf option.

 

28. Burger House Republic – Dubrovnik, Croatia

‘When life throws you a burger, eat it.’ Wise words from the guys at Burger House Republic, which can be found in the coastal city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The city is known for being the setting of King’s Landing in the hit TV series Game of Thrones, and if you pay a visit to Burger House Republic, you can expect to be treated like and eat like a king. With a wide selection of burgers to please even the pickiest of eaters, we still recommend their totally unique option: the octopus burger – perfect for pescatarians and meat-lovers alike.

 

27. Super Hero Burger – Trondheim, Norway

Founded in 2014, Super Hero Burger have sold over 1 million burgers since they opened their doors, and that should tell you all that you need to know about this place. They use locally-sourced ingredients to create the perfect flavour, far from the frozen, bland patties that most restaurants claim as ‘burgers’. We recommend their pulled pork burger because you can choose whether you want barbecued pulled pork or spicy pulled pork on top of your juicy beef patty.

 

26. The Hamburger Foundation – Geneva, Switzerland

The Hamburger Foundation opened in 2012 in Geneva, and they’ve never looked back. A menu comprising just three types of burgers (beef, chicken and plant-based patties), they encourage customers to enjoy adding as many toppings as they like – a good burger should be exactly how you like it, with your favourite toppings, right? Their crispy chicken burger is a winner in our eyes, and what better to top it with than pickles, creamy coleslaw and fiery hot sauce?

 

25. Roxor – Bratislava, Slovakia

Combining the best of Mexico with the best of Slovakia led to the creation of Roxor – a fusion restaurant serving up everything from tacos and birria ramen to their best-selling burgers. But their fusion doesn’t end with Slovak-Mexican – in fact, they take their culinary influence from around the world. One of their best burgers is the Bun Cha – a smashed beef patty, Vietnamese five-spice marinated pork belly, lime miso mayo, pickled carrots, white radish, lettuce and fresh coriander – a taste of the world in one bite.

 

24. T & C Burger Lab – Rome, Italy

Rome – the home of some of the finest cuisine in the world: fresh pasta, authentic pizza, rich and creamy tiramisu and…burgers?! Yes, that’s right – T & C Burger Lab in Rome is home to some of the best burgers on the continent. If big and juicy beef burgers are your thing, topped with fresh Italian tomatoes, of course, then you must pay a visit here next time you’re in Rome.

 

23. Snobbish Burger – Bacau, Romania

Ironically, the burgers here are anything but snobbish – they’re down-to-earth, comfort food favourites. Again, it goes to show that travelling out of the bigger cities like Bucharest and going slightly off the beaten track can reveal some real hidden gems, and Snobbish Burger in Bacau is exactly that. That’s not to say that their burgers are boring by any stretch of the imagination – on the contrary, in fact. We highly recommend their CODzilla – a fried fillet of cod, served with freshly-cooked fries, tartare sauce and pickles, for just €7.50.

 

22. Asado Burgers – Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is one of the most popular cities to visit in Europe, and its burger scene has exploded in the last couple of years. Asado Burgers brings Spanish flavours to burgers, creating the ultimate Mediterranean burger fusion. We’re talking burgers topped with confit garlic mayo, chimichurri, chopotle barbecue sauce and more. They also cater to vegetarians and vegans, and their Veggie El Don Burger, topped with smoky pulled jackfruit, is an absolute winner.

 

21. Burgermeister – Berlin, Germany

Burgermeister have to be one of the best places to grab a burger in the German capital, and they pride themselves on making everything from scratch – from the patties themselves, hand-cutting the fries, and even baking the dough for the bread buns. If you want a taste of a burger that’s had this much love and effort put into every single bite, then you’ve got to come here. Try their Meister Burger, topped with bacon, barbecue sauce and fried onions, and make sure to order a side of their Cheddar Fries to accompany it, too. An unforgettable burger experience in every bite.

 

20. The Holyrood 9A – Edinburgh, Scotland

Scotland has a stereotype of producing highly calorific foods and drinks like Irn Bru, deep-fried Mars Bars and even deep-fried pizzas – but they’re no amateurs when it comes to the gourmet burger scene, either. The Holyrood 9A is a testament to exactly that; found in the heart of Edinburgh, this restaurant serves up some of the best burgers in Scotland. We suggest either their Wild Boar and Apple Burger, or the Haggis Burger (also available as a vegetarian haggis burger), served with a zingy whisky peppercorn sauce.

 

19. Boston Burger Bar – Rhodes, Greece

‘Quality, tradition and authenticity’ is what Boston Burger Bar claims they offer – and they’re absolutely right. Burgers are their passion, and with their extensive menu, it’s easy to see how much they love their burgers. Homemade smashed patties in perfectly toasted brioche buns and mounds of oozing melted cheese – it’s a burger-lover’s dream come true. If you’ve had a heavy night, make sure to order their Hangover Burger, topped with caramelised onions, fried egg, smoked mayo and gravy, and while you’re at it, get a portion of their cheese meatballs with honey as a side dish.

 

18. Loki Burgers – Prague, Czechia

Named after the Norse god of trickery, mischief and deception, we can assure you that you’re not getting any of that if you choose to dine at Loki Burgers in the heart of Prague. What you are getting, though, is an authentic Czech burger experience, with delicious smashed beef patties, seasoned to perfection on their scorching-hot grill, before being topped with an array of toppings and cheeses to suit your taste. We think all of their burgers are delicious, but the Guacamole Bacon Burger holds a special place in our hearts.

 

17. Phat Bastrd Burger – Belfast, Northern Ireland

One of the boldest names for a burger restaurant, Phat Bastrd Burger in Belfast doesn’t shy away from being open, brave and serving in-your-face burgers to anyone who comes through their doors. Winners of Northern Ireland’s Best Takeaway in 2023, it’s clear to see that these guys know what they’re doing when it comes to burgers, and using New Zealand Wagyu Beef with local produce, the final result is a pure delight.

 

16. Kauppayhtiö – Rovaniemi, Finland

Found in Rovaniemi, which is in the heart of Finnish Lapland, what better meal to warm up with than a big old juicy burger and a sizzling portion of fries to accompany it? Kauppayhtiö does things slightly differently than other mainstream burger joints, though. Being based in such a remote part of the country, they have to make the most of what ingredients they can get, and as such, one of their best sellers is the reindeer burger. A deliciously gamey burger, sourced locally – what more could you want from an authentic Lapland burger restaurant?

 

15. Mega Burger – Bled, Slovenia

The aptly named Mega Burger sits on the shores of the stunning Lake Bled in Slovenia, and if you can find a more scenic burger restaurant in Europe, then we take our hats off to you. The burgers here are mega, too – both in appearance and in taste. Large, rich, juicy beef patties topped with melted cheese and an array of vegetables and sauces make this a messy but delicious burger. We recommend their Rauchy Burger, served in a black brioche bun, topped with smoked cheese for authentic Slovenian flavours.

 

14. The Burger Room – Amsterdam, Netherlands

We know that burgers and beers go well together, but have you ever experienced burgers and cocktails? They go together just as well, and The Burger Room in Amsterdam is the place to be for this deluxe combo. Classy is on the menu here, so you can expect burgers topped with foie gras, and even a selection of wagyu burgers if you’re feeling extra-indulgent. However, we think that you should treat yourself to their Surf ‘N’ Turf: a juicy cheeseburger with half a lobster thermidor on the side. Talk about luxury! Each burger is served with a paired cocktail, too.

 

13. Bubu Burger – Nice, France

If seafood and salad Niçoise is getting too much for you and you just want a beautiful, comforting burger in the French Riviera, then you have to visit Bubu Burger in Nice. Incredible smashed patties, stacked together with gooey cheese and topped with crispy lettuce and your favourite flavours, from bacon jam to chilli pickles and everything in between. One of their best burgers is The Avocado, which includes thinly sliced avocado and rich French cheese.

 

12. Land of Kings – Jūrmala, Latvia

Inspired by George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books, better known on TV as Game of Thrones, Land of Kings serves up king-sized portions from their restaurant in Jūrmala, Latvia. Their stand-out item on the menu is designed as a sharer for 4-5 very hungry people, and is proudly advertised as the tallest burger in Europe. 11 patties (you can choose from chicken, pork, beef or a mix of all three) are stacked on top of each other, held together with melted cheese, and served with a side of fries, salad and sauces. A must-have if you’re with a group of friends or family.

 

11. Dulf’s Burger – Hamburg, Germany

Where better to experience the delights of a burger than the city from which they originated? Dulf’s Burger is arguably the best burger restaurant in Hamburg, and possibly even in Germany. Their patties are hand-made every day, and their burgers are flame-grilled to perfection, for that authentic charred taste that we so associate with a classic hamburger. They also offer chicken and vegan burgers (their Lemon Chicken Burger is beautiful), but their star of the show is a huge six-patty Creature Burger – great for sharing, or for one very, very hungry customer.

 

10. Stejk Street Food – Kiruna, Sweden

This Swedish burger joint simply had to make the list. Found in Kiruna, the northernmost city in Sweden, Stejk Street Food makes the most of local ingredients to create truly unforgettable burgers. They tend to keep it simple for the most part – hamburgers and cheeseburgers – but they do have an incredible speciality on the menu: a 1kg burger, topped with a whole packet of bacon and smoked reindeer on top. Enjoy delving into this Arctic delicacy in their traditional tent-style setting, and feel like a true Viking as you tuck in.

 

9. The Lab – Milan, Italy

An ‘unconventional burger experience’ might put some people off, but just wait before you judge! Every single ingredient – from the beef to the salad and sauces – is meticulously researched to provide a taste like no other, from locally-sourced suppliers to provide an authentic northern Italian taste in every bite. Their AGRO burger, consisting of an extra-crispy deep-fried chicken thigh, persimmon chutney, lollo lettuce and chives, is one of the most decadently unique burgers you’ll ever try.

 

8. Friez & Burgz – Newcastle, England

Few burger joints in the UK can top what Friez and Burgz are doing. The Tyneside-based eatery has opened several stores across the northeast, and it’s no wonder they’re so popular. Their smash burgers are some of the finest in the game, and they change their specials weekly. They also serve breakfast burgers, where for under €5, you can choose a succulent sausage patty or bacon in place of a beef burger. Their chicken tenders also change weekly, so why not grab some of those as a side to your burger? And don’t forget to get one of their signature thick and creamy milkshakes to wash it all down with.

 

7. Maka Maka Beach Burger – Barcelona, Spain

Lovers of pop culture – we’ve found you the ultimate burger joint. Maka Maka Beach Burger sits on Barcelona beach, looking out over the golden sands and glittering waters of the Mediterranean – if you can see over the top of your burger, that is! Their burgers are all named after pop culture icons, from The Pamela (‘a crispy hot chick, like Pamela Anderson’ is the description) to The Maradona, named after one of FC Barcelona’s and Argentina’s greatest-ever footballers. Whatever takes your fancy, next time you’re in Barcelona, you have to stop by here for a burger.

 

6. Smashburger Marindvor – Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina

Found in the Bosnian capital, Smashburger Marindvor - the first smashburger joint in Sarajevo - regularly closes its doors early. Why, you ask? Because they sell out of burgers long before closing time on most days – and if that isn’t the sign of a great burger restaurant, we don’t know what is! Think juicy, authentic smashburgers, served in an array of ways. For their best option, you have to get one of their smashburgers (any flavour), served in their ‘smashburger pan’; that is, sliced in half, and placed sliced-side down in a pan of melted cheese. Indulgent and gorgeous.

 

5. Helt Vilt – Oslo, Norway

The primary objective of Helt Vilt, based in the Norwegian capital, is to bring the taste of the Norwegian wilderness to the city. And when it comes to their burgers, that’s exactly what they do. And that’s what makes them so unique – only one of their burgers is made from beef. One is suitable for vegetarians, and the others are made from either reindeer, wild boar or moose. For a true taste of Norwegian cuisine, you have to visit Helt Vilt. We recommend trying their Arctic Moose Burger, topped with brown cheese, cloudberry dressing and rocket. An authentic taste of the wild Norwegian Arctic.

 

4. The Bite – Zurich, Switzerland

Taking inspiration from across the globe, from Seoul to New York City, The Bite in Zurich is one of Europe’s best burger joints. Their beef patties are made from a secret Swiss blend, while their vegetarian burgers are made from either halloumi or portobello mushrooms (they also cater to vegans). They have weekly specials, but for a guaranteed burger, we recommend trying The Seoul Mate – a South Korean-inspired burger topped with bulgogi sauce, gochujang mayo, pickled daikon and carrots.

 

3. Bunsen Burgers – Dublin, Ireland

An iconic burger joint in Dublin, Bunsen Burgers has just two burgers on its menu: hamburgers and cheeseburgers. Nothing fancy, nothing over-the-top, just comfort food at its absolute best. Their toppings are all completely free, and they prove that the simple things in life are the best. Another advantage is that a hamburger is under €10, and a portion of their hand-cut fries is under €5. A true bargain as far as city centre prices go, and a delicious, memorable burger in one of Ireland’s best burger restaurants.

 

2. Tommi’s Burger Joint – Reykjavik, Iceland

Another remote burger destination, but one that is absolutely worth travelling to. Opened in 1981, Tommi’s Burger Joint has been slinging out some of Reykjavik’s best burgers for over 40 years. They’re so successful, though, that they’ve opened up eight stores in Iceland, and one in each of England, Germany and Denmark, too. And their success is down to one thing: their philosophy of keeping it simple, with top-quality, locally-sourced ingredients. Their signature Steakburger is simply out of this world: made from minced ribeye, tenderloin and rump steak, formed into an incredibly juicy patty, topped with melted cheese, fresh salad and sauces on a toasted brioche, every single bite tastes like heaven.

 

1. Black Bear Burger – London, England

Taking the number one spot in this list is also the restaurant that won the 2025 National Burger of the Year Award: Black Bear Burger in London. ‘Simple, done well’ is their mantra, and using locally-sourced high-quality produce, that’s exactly what they do. And if you’re planning a visit, then you have to try the burger that won them the coveted award: the Double Bacon Miso Burger. Two beef patties, melted cheese, two slices of smoked bacon and a miso-butter glazed demi-brioche bun. A thing of decadence, beauty and sheer deliciousness.
