Where to Get the Best Burgers in Barcelona
There’s a veritable burger craze in the Catalan capital these days, and, just as always, Barcelona likes to give things a local twist: Pyrenean-raised beef, locally cured cheese, romesco sauce mayo…you name it, and these local burger joints have done it. Whether you like your burger plain and simple or love to try new flavour combinations, here are the best places in Barcelona to grab a burger.
1. Kiosco
Sandwich Shop, Fast Food
It’s widely accepted that Kiosco was one of the first places to introduce proper burgers to the city. Founded by an Australian couple who found their inspiration in the big, friendly barbecues they knew from back home, Kiosco rapidly became the go-to place for a decent burger in the city. Expect organic beef from the Pyrenees, home-made sauces, crispy potato wedges and a menu of some 14 different burger kinds, including a wild boar burger and a veggie burger plus a selection of local drinks and craft beer.
2. Makamaka Beach Burger Café
Restaurant, Fast Food, American
Located at the far end of the Barceloneta, just a stone’s throw away from the beach, Makamaka Beach Burger Café is a casual burger joint with a retro surf theme. The choice of burgers is pretty impressive, but the monthly special – and matching cocktail – are usually tempting enough to coax you out of your comfort zone and dare to try something a little different. Despite its location and American-style theme, Makamaka has a strong local fanbase, and you only need to come for one of their popular themed nights to see why.
3. Pim Pam Burger
Sandwich Shop, Fast Food
Open since 2006 in a corner of Barcelona’s hip El Born neighbourhood, Pim Pam Burger is an unpretentious burger joint that prides itself on offering classic, home-made burgers. Most burgers come with lettuce, tomato and onion with room for variation on the type of cheese (cheddar, roquefort, three cheeses…). Not the kind of place where each ingredient comes with its own background story, the key to Pim Pam Burger’s popularity is its simplicity: a fluffy bun, a flavoursome meat patty and fresh ingredients.
5. Timesburg Poblenou
Restaurant, Sandwich Shop, Fast Food
6. Bar Betty Ford's
Bar, Contemporary
Something of a neighbourhood institution, Bar Betty Ford’s is on the corner of one of El Raval‘s busiest streets – the Carrer Joaquin Costa – and is very much a second home to many of the local skater crowd, expat community and anyone with a taste for a fun-loving late-night bar. By no means a restaurant, the food at Betty’s is a cut above your average pub-grub, and the burgers are known to be one of the best in town despite the no-frills approach. It’s safe to say that this probably has a fair amount to do with the creamy dipping sauce that comes with the extra-crispy French fries.
7. La Burg
Restaurant, Sandwich Shop, Fast Food
Located in uptown Barcelona, far from the tourist sights and the high-streets, La Burg is a cozy burger joint with more of a wine-bar feel than that of a fast-food joint. Determined to give burgers a ‘gourmet’ twist, La Burg works only with grass-fed beef (Spanish buey as opposed to the younger ternera) to make its generous burger patties. The menu abounds with the kind of ingredients you’d expect in a fancy restaurant: wagyu beef, truffle oil, poached eggs, shiitake mushrooms and French cheeses. Even the wine list includes some interesting bottles that start from €14 a bottle and range upwards to €40.
