My top 5 burger spots in the city

Longing for something juicy, cheesy, oniony or simply greasily satisfying? From classic iterations to instagrammable sensations, let me tell you about the top 5 burgers joints in Iași, according to… myself, the pickiest foodie I know.

Street Burger

Don’t leave for tomorrow what you can eat today, says Street Burger Iași, luring you to try a Double Street Burger with extra bacon (I challenge you to eat it with your hands), a Street Fire Burger, for the brave ones who dig sriracha sauce and hot pepper under the same bun, or just my favorite, the classic Street Burger, a hand crafted american diner version of a juicy burger. Eat it with fries with cheddar and bacon and finish it like a real cowboy with some Coke.

Vivo

This place is known in the whole country for their burgers (they opened a place in Bucharest as well). Their secret and my only mandatory advice is to order the cheese & garlic potatoes, because, whatever you will choose, they complete the meal perfectly. My favorite pick is the Italian burger (the pesto is to die for!). The delivery service is not the greatest so I encourage you to make a reservation and eat in the restaurant, which has a really hip & cosy atmosphere (when the music volume is reasonable :D).

The Box

If you are OK to trade the fluffy bun for a flat pita from time to time, The Box could really work for you. Try Porcobello for the sous vide pork tenderloin with barbeque sauce and cow’s cheese, one of their bestsellers. If you are hungry though, go for The Big One – where the patty and the gouda cheese are double and fill your soul.

Torro Burgers

You’re probably reading this because you are a gurmand, so don’t run away from your identity – order Burger Gurmand Torro. You’ll get a juicy beef meat, cheddar cheese AND SAUCE (!), bacon, green onion, barbeque sauce and mouth-watering pickles. There is no dine-in option, so make you are confortable eating on your feet because this babies were born to be eaten fresh and warm.

Bindu

Veggie burgers aren’t just for vegetarians, says Bindu and I hear them. Bindu’s Meatless World has a variety of vegetarian burgers because they are part of their philosophy (“for the love of others”) and they still taste like real deal patty. S.S.B.D (Same Same But Different) confirms it – with pea protein meat, cheddar cheese, fresh tomato slices, barbeque sauce, green parsley, arugula & homemade vegan mayonnaise. Don’t leave the table without a taste of Aperol tiramisu to end the meal. Deliciousness is paramount.

Burgers, Street food
Finger-licking crazy burgers in a small stall on the sidewalk. They also serve salads, but let's be serious. Oh, and coffee.

Burgers, Street food
The Box is a completely new concept on the local market. The team's passion for fresh meat, purchased from the Meat Concept Store butcher's shop, led to the birth of delicious recipes, which are prepared quickly in front of the customer. The ingredients used in the various combinations we propose are bought every morning and prepared later in the day.
