Time Out editors from across the globe have undertaken the arduous task of tasting countless burgers to compile a definitive list of the very best. Their latest ranking features 14 perfect patties from cities including Sydney, Lisbon, Paris, New York City, Rio, Hong Kong, and more. London, of course, is represented with a standout burger served at the Asian-inspired burger joint Hanbaagaasuuteeki in Victoria.
The Winning Burger: Shrimp Kong Baga
To experience this award-winning creation, head to Hanbaagaasuuteeki and order the shrimp kong baga. This 'fabulously frilly' smash burger combines shrimp, crispy seaweed, cheese, and a thousand island-style dressing. It's essentially a Korean-inspired surf and turf, offering a unique twist on the classic burger.
Other Top Burgers on the List
The global lineup includes the dry-aged beef chuck and gruyère cheese burger in a pretzel bun at Nolita in Madrid, the triple bacon cheese classic smash burger at Smash Things in Tokyo, and the dry-aged Red Hook Tavern burger from Red Hook Tavern in Brooklyn. Each burger brings its own flair, but London's entry stands out for its creative fusion.
Hanbaagaasuuteeki is located at 36 Buckingham Palace Road, SW1W 0RE. For a full list of the best burgers in London, check out Time Out's guide. Stay updated with the latest London news, reviews, and events by following the Time Out London WhatsApp channel or signing up for their free newsletter.
