Street Food Guide Germany 2024: The best Burgers in Berlin
To get your hands on what is probably the most coveted burger in town, you usually have to queue first - inside, free seating is often rare. But the juicy, crispy smash patty and crispy fries are well worth the wait.
The somewhat different burger joint: as the name suggests, regional game meat is served on the brioche bun. A selection of at least ten burgers provides plenty of topping variety - and vegetarians are also well catered for.
The tiny store in Neukölln delights with a selection of classic burgers that are full of flavour. The chilli cheeseburger in particular - juicy and rounded off with plenty of pickles - is exactly what you would expect from really good fast food.
A real Berlin success story; the two founders opened the first restaurant in Mitte in 2013 and there are now branches all over Europe and Qatar. And for good reason, because the bulgogi burger is in a class of its own.
The bright red store not far from Senefelderplatz cannot be overlooked. Nor should it be, because the latest trend - Smashburger - is served here in a successful version. There are also milkshakes and curly fries - all available exclusively to take away.
At the bustling Checkpoint Charlie, the House of Burgerz is the best choice for a quick lunch or evening snack. Here you can relax for a moment in a deckchair with your feet in the sand and enjoy delicious burgers, for example with gorgonzola and truffle mayo.
The burgers at this Charlottenburg restaurant are the best value for money. You can get everything from a simple hamburger to a halloumi veggie burger, without a lot of chichi but in excellent quality. In summer there is outdoor seating.
The most creative creations in town: where else can you get a burger with a watermelon and feta topping or an octopus instead of beef patty? There is also a lot on offer when it comes to fries: In addition to truffle or guacamole fries, there are also halloumi, bacon or sweet potato fries as a side dish.
A Friedrichshain institution: from the decadent "Cheatday Burger" to the classic "Cheese Bomb", there is something for every taste. The sesame bun and patties are particularly impressive, but burger and fries creations with peanut sauce are also a welcome change.
Eating a cheeseburger until the middle of the night in the joint directly under the U3 subway tracks is simply part of an authentic Berlin experience. The burgers here not only have cult status, but also impress with their quality and value for money.
James Doppler serves creative, British-inspired burger variations at the Arminiusmarkthalle in Moabit. The menu includes lamb burgers with tahini and feta, the popular British chicken tikka in burger form, weekly specials and authentic pale ale.
A small but fine burger joint on Mehringdamm. Getting a seat here is no easy task. However, the chilli cheeseburger with a very good portion of jalapeños can also be enjoyed standing up when you're hungry and the place is full.
Icelander export cooks burgers according to the motto "less is more" - the quality here is impressive. In all three branches you can sit comfortably between wooden elements. We recommend the "offer of the century" with a drink and fries as well as the milkshakes.
