Nooooooooooo!!!!!!! Never again, had hamburger with cheese and chicken burger with relish.... Both tasted identical.... not a good thingALLY BUG wrote:FEBO
Thanks guys, saw Burgermeester on my last day without the time to stop in, shall check it out next time.
For any english peeps reading, what i'm really looking for is a dutch equivilant of 'Fine Burger Co' or 'Good Burger Kitchen'.....Burgermeester seems the best bet by the look of things.
Hard rock, i'm sure would be ok but unhappy about giving Arnie, Stalloney and Willis money which they blatently don't need.
Thanks e'body
Are you thinking of Planet Hollywood?HP Dubcraft wrote: Hard rock, i'm sure would be ok but unhappy about giving Arnie, Stalloney and Willis money which they blatently don't need.
I thought they went out of business. The one in Dublin certainly did, we've got more sense over here
Anyone else ever do the thing of putting foreign objects in the FEBO compartments and taking pictures? Or is it just me that's juvenile...ALLY BUG wrote: FEBO

Here's a mouthwatering review of burgermeester 
http://goamsterdam.about.com/od/whattoe ... meeste.htm
The Bottom Line
When I walked into Burger Meester last night and the server at the counter said, "Shannon, you're back!" I realized it was time to write a review. It's safe to say I've had 10 burgers at this simple-but-genius establishment since I discovered it less than two months ago. Not a fast-food joint and not a café serving an unsuccessful American-style burger, Burger Meester has a taste and philosophy all its own -- and the results are delicious. (See below for the full review.)
Pros
* Mouth-watering, made-to-order burgers.
* Unique, fresh ingredients.
* Vegetarian options.
* Convenient location near a market and museums.
Cons
* Albert Cuypstraat can sometimes be dirty.
* No alcohol served.
* Address: Albert Cuypstraat 48, Amsterdam
Phone: +31 (0)20 670 93 39
* Kitchen open:
Daily 12 - 11 p.m.
* Location: De Pijp ("the Pipe") neighborhood, just west of the Albert Cuypmarkt.
* Trams: 16 or 24 to Albert Cuypstraat.
* Attire: As casual as casual gets -- it's a burger place.
* Good to know: If you don't want to wait, call ahead and pick up your order.
* Payment: Cash and European "PIN" card only.
Guide Review - Burger Meester - Amsterdam Restaurant Review
Homemade bread, free-range meat and vegetables obtained from local, organic farmers -- these aren't typical burger ingredients. But Burger Meester (Dutch for "master," pronounced "MAY ster") is anything but typical.
Where else can you find a lamb burger with spicy piri-piri mayo? I usually go for the meester biefburger, an herbed beef patty, grilled veggies (usually eggplant and zucchini) and a special sauce they call "dragon mayo," which I suspect is physically addictive. I've heard all good burgers are messy; even with the big bruin (brown) bun (they also serve white) to soak things up, I always destroy at least three napkins!
Vegetarians can enjoy Meester madness, as well. Permanent meat-free choices are the goat cheese burger with eggplant and the falafel burger with grilled veggies. The tilapia burger with asparagus and saffron mayo, as well as the rotating maandburger (burger of the month) also change things up a bit. If your creative culinary juices are flowing, concoct your own meaty (or meatless) masterpiece. Extra toppings include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, pancetta, sun-dried tomatoes and the unexpected red beets, garden beans or asparagus.
All the burgers are under € 7 for full size and under € 3.50 for a mini version (the maandburger price does vary). And here's a great idea: if you can't decide on just one tempting taste, try three mini burgers for just € 9!
You won't hear, "Would you like fries with that?" here, because they don't have them. For sides you can choose from half a buttered corncob, a baked potato with crème fraiche or a small green salad. Burger Meester does offer meal-size salads, but I can't comment on them (except that they boast fresh, healthful ingredients). What can I say? I come here for the burgers -- and now to chat with the friendly people making them who call me by name.

Yus, me 3!!
Sounds awesome...
Funny hearing you mention cooking a burger medium-rare. It's unheard of in this country, we don't use meat you can afford not to char to death before consuming. Only ever had one burger in this country where I was offered the choice, steak burgers are top notch!! Wouldn't be asking for medium rare (or any sort of rare) in 99.9% of burger vendors here
