The top places in Barcelona for your burger addiction

Best hamburger restaurants in Barcelona

Whether classic, gourmet or plain, Barcelona loves hamburgers. Despite not being a specialty of the Catalan gastronomy, hamburger joints have flourished across the city in recent years. And all of them claim to make the best hamburger in the city and/or the world. But how can we make the right decision?

First of all, it´s necessary to ask ourselves: what is a hamburger? The origin of the hamburger is controversial, since diverse chefs and cultures throughout history claim authorship. After all, it is just a sandwich of meat that even in the Roman empire was being consumed. However, it is typically associated with the United States of America, since it was there where its recipe was perfected, reaching its actual form.

In the early nineteenth century, German immigrants introduced to the Americans the concept of “Hamburg-style American steak”, the grandfather of the current hamburgers. Since then the concept has been changing, but its popularity has never declined. To this day it is one of the most popular dishes and every year arise hundreds of variations of the original recipe.

In this list, you will find the best places in Barcelona to eat a hamburger and their most known menus. Homemade, with natural ingredients, avant-garde or classic, in Barcelona you have dozens of options to try. From there it´s on you to decide which of them it´s “The Best Hamburger in Barcelona”.
