5. Ellis Gourmet Burger

The name is a reference to Ellis Island near New York which was the main place for Europeans immigrating to the US during the last century. The founders believe the best burgers are in America and want to bring that culture back to Europe, hence the name.

The burgers themselves have juicy patties, thick crispy fries and great dipping sauces.

6. Firma Pickles Burgers & Wines

Their burgers can either be ordered as they are or you can make your own from a long list of toppings. You’ll find them in several cities and towns across the Netherlands.

Ferry once started as a magazine, but has since evolved into a place where food, work, drink and dance all come together. During the day you can relax or co-work and enjoy super coffee and a terrace in the summer. In the evenings, things shift gear with great cocktails and a chilled vibe.
