5 Best Burger and Hotdog Restaurants in Amsterdam

The premium burger and hotdog scene has reached Amsterdam, and the standard is high. Whether you like it straight up plain, with cheese, or with foie gras and a waldorf salad side, you’ll find something for everyone at one of these five recommended quick service joints.

Make sure you check out our own True Burgers website at www.lantmannen-unibake.com/Schulstad-Bakery-Solutions/Campaigns/TrueBurgers/ for the very best premium products for your burger menu.

Best Burger Restaurants

1. Burgerfabriek

Located in a main street of Amsterdam’s world famous Red Light District, Burgerfabriek opened to critical acclaim in early 2015. Owner Tommi van Beest used to run a cof-feeshop on the same site, but gentrification of the area meant he had to find an altogether different idea for the prime address. And how it works!

We recommend:

Their signature burger “Old Amsterdam”.

2. The Butcher

Conveniently located on Albert Cuypstraat in De Pijp, this small but sleek burger bar offers several burgers that are sure to satisfy different tastes. See if you can find the “secret” door which leads into a private members club – which hosts afterparties for many of the A-list musicians that visit town. They also have an outlet in Foodhallen.

We recommend:

The umami overload of their “Truffle Burger”.

3. Hummbar!

Burgers, Lobster and Cocktails. A classic combination of the times, and done to perfec-tion at this Amsterdam restaurant located in Rembrandt Square. Hummbar! is a perfect choice if you’re looking for the lighter options as their shellfish menu is extensive and deli-cious.

We recommend:

The Lobster Roll. Probably the best in Holland.

5. Smokin’ Barrels

Another “Surf and Turf” joint that started the trend of Lobster and Burger mashup in Amsterdam. They prepare most of their food over – smoking barrels. Owned by a now- famous threesome of restaurant entrepreneurs (Riad, Jason and Piet) whose every new ven-ture seems to turn to gold.

We recommend:

Ari Gold – an award winning burger.

4. Bulls and Dogs

Bulls & Dogs is a rising star on the Dutch fast food scene. What started with a simple Christmas gift, a meat grinder, and small scale experimenting, has quickly grown to three hotdog-only food trucks and two restaurants – one on Van Woustraat and one in Foodhallen, the new food market place in central Amsterdam.

We recommend:

Order a few to taste the amazing variations!

5 Best Coffee Cafés in Amsterdam

Taking a ten minute break from the sensory overload of Amsterdam is one of the most fun things to do in the city. Not to be confused with Coffeeshops – which serve an altogether different way of relaxation – Amsterdams coffee cafés excel in serving crafted cups of joe, often with delicious bakery products. Here is our list of places to take a break and recharge.

Best Coffee Cafés

1. Espressofabriek

Espressofabriek is one of the pioneers of specialty coffee in Amsterdam.

They were one of the first companies to roast their own beans in-house and now supply this service for many of the new coffee houses around town.

The Westergasfabriek space is beautiful with lofty ceilings and views across the lovely Westerpark.

2. Two for Joy Coffee Roasters

Two for Joy is sure to brighten your day with their cute bird motif.

They custom roast their own beans, resulting in deliciously smooth coffee. Try some of their food too, most of it homemade.

Our favourite was the chocolate chip rose-mary cake.

4. Screaming Beans

Possibly the coolest café name in Amsterdam.

There’s more to Screaming Beans than just their name though – superb coffee, some lovely latte art and a range of bakery and sandwiches which make a stop here 15 min-utes longer than you initially planned.

Screaming Beans also opened a sleek new location in Oud-West that also has wine and gourmet food.

3. de Koffie Salon

This cool chain of coffee houses with images of celebrities enjoying a cup of joe lining the walls is worthy of your time.

Stop in for a creamy cappuccino at one of their five locations, each open daily from 7 to 7.

5. Tazzina

On a sunny day, nothing beats a seat outside waterside Tazzina on Brouwersgracht.

Watch the bicycles and pedestrians cross over the charming drawbridge while you sip an expertly crafted beverage, served with a smile.

Breakfast and lunch are perfect times to com-bine their coffee with their lovingly prepared food.
