Tarantino Burgers Athens

Best burger in town

Antonis from Athens

Antonis Tsapepas (1974) About me I was born in Athens, a few metres from the Ancient Cemetery of Kerameikos, as were my father and my grandfather. Therefore, I consider myself a native of this unique city. Perhaps these images of the ancient monuments from my childhood made me want to become an archaeologist.

"At Tarantino Burgers, the secret of its success are great raw materials. The burgers are 100% black angus ground beef, and the fluffy buns are made with their own recipe."

Twenty years ago, in Athens, you could only find burgers in fast food chains, but now they have acquired their own separate place in the culinary history of this city. You can find many variations of the burger, from the most gourmet to the simplest street version. However, my favourite burger joint in Athens is by far Tarantino Burgers.

Tarantino Burgers started in Thessaloniki, where it drove its residents crazy with its tasty and well-prepared burgers. In 2021, it began its Athenian history in the popular Koukaki, and it did not take long for the Athenians to discover this hidden treasure. The secret of its success is great raw materials. The burgers are made with 100% black angus ground beef, and the sauces are made here, as well as fluffy buns with their own recipe. The choices and combinations are many, but without any of them being too loaded with ingredients so that the taste is lost. The side dishes are also very good and large in size.

If you are interested in feeling the full flavour of the burger, you must try the Cheeseburger, but my personal favourite at Tarantino Burgers is the Jack Burger with cheddar, crispy bacon, and Jack Daniel's sauce. If a burger is not enough to satisfy you, then your choice should be the gigantic Philly steak sandwich with pretzel bread and black angus beef.

It is no wonder that Tarantino Burgers already has a devoted following among city residents.

Antonis Tsapepas (1974) About me I was born in Athens, a few metres from the Ancient Cemetery of Kerameikos, as were my father and my grandfather. Therefore, I consider myself a native of this unique city. Perhaps these images of the ancient monuments from my childhood made me want to become an archaeologist. I was able to do this by earning a degree in archaeology from the University of Athens, even though I never worked in the field. So over time, archaeology and my love for Athens turned into a constant quest to uncover its secrets, neighbourhoods, bui...

Talking Breads

Talking about street food

My favourite burger is the Bacon Mushroom Melt, and my favourite sandwich is the Tika, which is slightly spicy and causes a chain of flavour explosions!

Shedia

Human is the answer

Shedia is heavily focused on sustainability and inclusivity: pets have their own menu, the menu is also offered in Braille, and the oil used is produced by the Niarchos park trees and then recycled.

Teras

A pretty monster

Teras is full of contradictions: it is unconventionally named (teras means 'monster' in greek) in an ugly way but it is one of the most beautiful places to enjoy your drink.

Fine dining at home

Although Kalos Aeras is located on a busy road, there is no noise penetrating the leafy veranda, and stepping into the house is like time-traveling back to the 60s.
