The Best Burgers in Town

Attention meat lovers, this article is for you!
I did some research on the best hamburgers in town and these places have made the shortlist: 

1. The Butcher


This burger bar recently opened its doors at Amsterdam's most famous street market and is already my favorite. Made from Aberdeen Angus beef, the burgers are nice & juicy. And they carry funny names, such as "The Codfather", "Silence of the Lamb" and "The Cow Boy". To complete your burger, order some French fries on the side; they taste homemade.

2. Burgermeester


The burgers at Burgermeester are gooooood. I especially like the Classic Lamburger, which has meat from lams of Texels, one of the islands in the north of the Netherlands. The nice thing of Burgermeester is that most products are local (i.e. Dutch). Side dishes include hot potatoes and a cornstick. Prices are reasonable.

3. Burger Bar

At Burger Bar you can build your own perfect burger. First, you select the kind of meat; there are four different kinds to choose from. Then, you choose your toppings and sauces. Et voilà, here's your favorite burger. 

The only downside is that all three Burger Bars are located in busy tourist locations and don't look very inviting. Thus, only for hardcore burger fans!

4. Hard Rock Café

At the Hard Rock Café Amsterdam you probably can get the most American burgers in town. Don't expect anything romantic, but just come here and eat your burger at the counter, without saying a word to each other (as talking is impossible at the always loud Hard Rock Café!) But, as only the Americans can make a true hamburger, this is still one of my favorite burger places and I am happy Amsterdam even has its own Hard Rock Café.
