But let’s start with my favorites, but first into the criteria:
The best burger in Tallinn: on what grounds?
Already familiar with my list of top restaurants in Tallinn? If not, you can take a peek here … as long as you promise to come back. In addition to the taste of food, this list is based on milieu and other factors.
I used certain criteria when listing the hamburger places, but they are not quite the same as in restaurants. Burger is a food that is often eaten casually and quickly, so the comfort of a place, for example, may not be as important as in a dinner restaurant.
So here are some of the criteria:
- I lived in the United States for a long ago, and still like their way to make burgers. So, for me, mayonnaise is not an integral part of a hamburger.
- Good bread, on the other hand, is. My number one choice is brioche-type bread, but other tasty rolls are also good. Instead, the grocery store’s pre-cut burger roll rarely fulfills my criteria.
- The beef should be medium or even rare. This will surely divide us into different camps, but my camp sure likes the juicy type of beef.
- Tallinn’s best hamburger is also one that you can eat with your hands. If it is stacked so high that a fork and knife are needed to eat, I’m afraid there is a person in the kitchen who does not understand the essence of hamburgers.
- I don’t usually eat fries with my burger, so I don’t judge their quality here.
