19 Best Restaurants in Berlin
"You may wonder why there’s always a line outside this unassuming burger joint near the Kottbusser Brücke (Kottbusser Bridge) in Kreuzberg. But those in-the-know are hip to the fact that two former chefs from one of Germany’s top restaurants, three-Michelin-starred Aqua (in Wolfsburg), create here what many consider to be the best burger in Berlin. The menu promises four smashburger options, in regular, veggie, and vegan versions: Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger (with pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard), Super Smash Brother (a double cheeseburger with special sauce and salad rather than ketchup and mustard), and Super Smash BLT (essentially a super smash brother with bacon and fried onions added). All the ingredients are top-notch—the bacon tastes straight from a German butcher—and the juicy burgers themselves are highly satisfying. The lightly crunchy Super Skinny Fries make for a worthy side; add on the highly touted truffle mayo for an extra flavor kick." - Liz Humphreys
