Where to find the Best Burgers in Athens

The topic “burgers” has been quite controversial in the Athenian food scene for the last decades: they have always been considered street food, but not the preferred kind, since they couldn’t replace the beloved souvlaki in the Greeks’ hearts. For that reason, burgers had to exceed the junk food

standards and become something more polished and sophisticated. In the last few years the gourmet burger mania has taken off in Athens, having made this sinful pleasure the latest trend. In this article, you will find some of the best burger joints, that you will regret missing out!

Starting with the central area of Kolonaki, La Esquina, is an all-day bar restaurant with American style cuisine, serving among other amazing staff, some great burgers! Top quality ingredients are the secret to success as well as making good cocktails -that always helps. Simple and classy, yet warm and cozy on the inside, it is an ideal place to hang out with friends and enjoy some well-cooked comfort food!

Up next, without leaving the center, in Monastiraki area, there is Hard Rock Cafe Athens. Recommendations are not of much needed with this one, since most people have visited one in at least one city worldwide. It serves American style dishes, delicious burgers, salads and desserts, while it also offers a great selection of signature drinks and cocktails. Of course, decoration is its strong asset, full of rock legends’ memorabilia and posters. When it comes to burgers, Hard Rock Cafe Athens is a no brainer!

Moving up north, in Vrilissia area, we will recommend BarBara Que. It is a relatively new restaurant, that has already developed a loyal following, with mouthwatering burgers being the main attraction. You will find some of the best burgers in town, including giant burgers, as well as gorgeous fresh salads and delicious desserts. The decoration is dominated by industrial elements along with comfortable couches and chairs. There is outdoor seating available, too.

Last, we have Hops Beer & Burger in Koukaki area, a great place to taste American style specialties (they make the best Philly steak sandwich!) and of course amazing burgers! Being the last project of the famous chef George Gerardou, it is a restaurant that uses carefully selected raw materials and offers an impressive beer menu, too. A perfect place to start, if you’re into the “gourmet burgers” trend.
