These are the Best Burgers in Berlin (Vegetarians and Vegans, Read This too)

By Eyal Nachshon

The burger scene began to develop in Berlin in recent years and put the ground round on the map. The history of the burger is not fully known to us, and there are at least 10 cooks who claimed at the beginning of the twentieth century that they invented the hamburger.

What we do know is that the beginning of the hamburger was very modest, and in the old days it was a sort of sausage wrapped in bread. This is however the first historical record of the burger and dates back to 1758 in the German city of Hamburg. The "hamburger" in German means "Hamburg's" and maybe that's where the legend that took over the world began.

In Berlin there are hundreds of hamburger restaurants, and you can usually find a proper hamburger in almost every one of them.

It is important to note that vegetarians and vegans are almost always given vegetarian or vegan versions of hamburgers. You just have to ask.

For those who can't do without the chopped steak and look for various versions of it (there is even an Asian burger), I have listed the best Hamburgers' restaurants in Berlin for 2019.

BURGERMEISTER

Some people swear that this is the best burger in Berlin. One of the favorite extras is French fries loaded with melted cheese and onion.

There are three branches but the seating is few and they are fast food style (open until 3 am).
