Top 6 Burgers in Amsterdam

The best burgers in Amsterdam are hard to find when every second street has a burger place and half of them are forgettable. You don’t want to waste a night out on a soggy bun and grey beef. So I ate my way across the city and ranked the six that are actually worth it. Here they are, counting down from number six.

6 Best Burger Joints In Amsterdam

Let’s start at number six and work up to my favourite.

6 | Nude Burger

Nude Burger keeps it simple: fresh ingredients and burgers cooked right. The reviews back it up.

The patties are juicy, the fries crisp. It’s a relaxed, casual spot with friendly staff. A good place to start this list.

5 | Charlie’s Kitchen

Charlie’s Kitchen is a small, easy-to-miss burger joint in the Red Light District. The burgers are among the juiciest in the city.

They use fresh ingredients, the beef is well seasoned, and the buns are soft.

Add fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion, and you’ve got a proper burger. Worth a stop if you’re in the Red Light District.

4 | 4 Seasons Burgers

4 Season Burgers has been getting busier with locals and visitors, and the burgers are the reason.

They use fresh ingredients and the beef is cooked well, so the burger comes out juicy.

It offers 5 different burgers:

• Irish Beef
• Black Angus
• Wagyu Beef
• Chicken Burger
• Vegetarian

You can choose between a 175 gram or 225 gram burger, if you take an Irish Beef, Black Angus or Wagyu Burger.

They also have a good drinks list. It works for a quick bite or a longer meal.

3 | Burger Bar

We rate Burger Bar. The beef is well seasoned and the bun is always fresh, every time we’ve been.

Burger Bar sits in the middle of Amsterdam, on Warmoesstraat. It’s a short walk from Dam Square and Central Station, with a tram stop around the corner.

The staff are friendly and the room is casual and relaxed.

Burger Bar on Warmoesstraat is an easy stop for a burger and a break from sightseeing.

2 | Favorite Chicken & Ribs

Chicken lovers pay attention because this burger bar has really delicious chicken burgers, ribs, wings and whatnot. We are talking about Favorite Chicken & Ribs.

When you walk in here, it certainly don’t not look like a place where you can score the best burger in Amsterdam. But don’t be delusional. We find their chicken burgers so freaking delicious! Oh, my goodness…

After tasting their chicken, you couldn’t care less about the mediocre decor and lagging service.

They season the chicken products very well by using tasty herbs. The fries are also quite tasty here. The disadvantages of this place are that they use bright lighting, that it is small inside and that there are occasionally street dealers inside. We never experienced doing anyone harm though. Anyway, if you ignore that and only visit this venue for their chicken products – you will definitely enjoy yourself.

The boneless chicken here is also really fantastic!

1 | Burgerfabriek

Without a doubt, we believe that the Burgerfabriek has the best burgers in Amsterdam Red Light District. Why?

Well, first of all, because their burgers are made on charcoal. We think that this really makes the burger so much better. The Burgerfabriek is one of the few burger bars that prepares its products in this way.

Secondly, you can choose from various toppings, including some typical Dutch ones – such as Old Amsterdam cheese.

Thirdly, they have such delicious Dutch fries here. Not those weak, skinny, long French fries, but real thick fries. Those are the best! You can also get different sauces with that. When we tested this place, we took the real Dutch mayonnaise for a full Dutch experience in Amsterdam.

What is also nice about the Burgerfabriek is that you can tap your own beer here. They have a few tables where this is possible. Especially if you are out with some friends, it is ideal to tap your own beers because then you do not have to wait for the waiters. Great for bachelor parties too.

Get the best burgers in Amsterdam at the Burgerfabriek on the Warmoesstraat.

Conclusion

That’s my ranking of the best burgers in Amsterdam. Any of these six is a safe bet.

If your favourite didn’t make the list, tell me in the comments which spot you’d rank first.
