Otto’s Burger Schanze Schanzenstraße 58, 20357 Hamburg, Germany Otto’s knows that in the competitive world of burgers it’s the innovative grill that wins, saying, “Instead of offering too many burger combinations, we focus on variety.” That’s why they rotate their menu with regular seasonal changes, communicated through beautiful designs you’d happily place on your wall.

Dulf’s Burger (Karo) Karolinenstraße 2, 20357 Hamburg, Germany If you find yourself near St Pauli, hungry enough to eat a monster burger, then there’s only one place for you! Dulf’s exudes the carefree, unrepressed feel of the area, and is most definitely a meat-lover’s spot – it has an amazing selection of burgers, but the crème de la crème is most certainly the Schlabbermax Burger, made with three homemade beef patties, fresh Bionda salad, coleslaw, double cheddar, roasted corn, onions, jalapeños, hollandaise sauce and burger mayo. This tower of amazingness is a delectable affront to the gods and all common decency and needs to be eaten immediately. You can fit it all in your frame, but we’ll be shocked if you can fit it all in your stomach in one sitting.
