Burgers, burgers, burgers! More and more burger spots are popping up and one of my preference is the Burgermeester (to be translated into either ‘mayor’ or ‘master of the burger’) – Actually I love burgers, and the other spot my co-spotter Gisela Clarke wrote about is also great ( check the burgerbar article). When you get in and it is your turn, you will be told how long it is going to take until you receive your burger. That would be at 18:00 around 10 minutes – which is reasonable, considering they are all prepared on order, not in advance like in McDonalds. Already the basic burgers are worth it: the ‘master bief burger’ (photo) comes with grilled vegetables (courgette) topping the big beef. Fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, of course, but the result is not only tasty, it even looks good! Compare the stylish food photography of the McDonald’s burgers with the spongy careless reality of what you get delivered. No, at Burgermeester the reality looks like you want to use it for food photography. Details about this spot (Show on map)

They have a few branches including a cookbook. The burgers are good for takeaway and for the first time in my life, you can order burgers in mini sizes. April 2012.
Burgermeister is still excellent and has several branches now. They have pretty good staff for Amsterdam, the only downer is the 0900 number if you want to call and order some takeaway. Still the best burgers in Amsterdam.
