Želva beers & burgers
Address: Jana Želivského 1806/23, Prague 3

MAP
If for a burger in Prague - Zizkov, then only to the Želva. Already the repeated placement among the winners at Burgerfest is proof that this spot should not be missing in our selection of top burger places in Prague. Not only the burgers are famous, but also the beer. Moreover, in terms of price, it is probably the best value for money. The business is smaller, so reservations are definitely needed.

Hillbilly
Address: Pplk. Sochora 974/21, Prague
Web: https://hillbilly.cz/

Hillbilly is a bit like Dish in Holešovice. Although they've been operating for a much shorter period, their burgers surpass many established burger places in Prague. Neither the bun nor the meat is lacking anything, everything is seasoned to perfection. And also visually made to perfection. The burgers are also prepared in a vegetarian version and can be accompanied by fries, onion rings, jalapeños or salad. In short, their slogan is "Just fucking burgers" and we can only sign off on that.

Cafe Palanda
Address: Zlatnická 1122, Prague 2
Web: https://cafepalanda.com/
MAP
A cozy spot known for its delicious burgers and welcoming atmosphere, Cafe Palanda is a local favorite, maintaining its high standards over the years. There are several types of burgers on offer, including a lighter, "naked" variant (meaning without the bun), as well as more side dishes and many sauces to choose from. Most of those who come here based on reviews of one of the best burgers in Prague expect a lot from their visit - and still, the reality often exceeds their expectations.

Kantýna & Naše Maso
Address: Dlouhá 39, Prague 1 & Politických vězňů 1511/5, Prague 1
Web: https://www.kantyna.ambi.cz/, https://www.nasemaso.cz/
MAP 1, MAP 2
All the Ambiente chain companies are renowned for their high quality, and Kantýna and Naše maso are no exception. Although they are not directly burger restaurants, but a restaurant/bistro combined with a butcher's shop, their artisanal burgers are rightly ranked among the best burgers in Prague. They stick to the motto "beauty is in simplicity" , and it would be a pity if anything could dampen the taste of a first-class burger made of aged beef. It is no wonder that queues often form in front of both establishments.
Note: Ambiente also recently opened Burger Service, the first fast food concept to focus on burgers. However, the initial reactions are quite contradictory and to be honest - we've already eaten better burgers.

Hoxton burgers
Address: Náměstí Míru 1221/4, Prague 2
Web: https://hoxton.cz/
MAP
This Prague burger restaurant was established by joining forces of two experienced entrepreneurs, formerly owners of a burger restaurant and a fast food bistro. Highlight of the menu is the smash burger, which you can customize according to your taste, and especially the “cheese bomb”, which means that you can top your fine-tuned burger with a flood of melted cheddar. If nothing else, it's definitely impressive. You'll also be delighted with the friendly service, which you can call up with a bell as needed.

Enthusiasm for burgers and America - that's exactly what was behind the establishment of this burger restaurant in Prague, which has been operating here for more than 10 years. The interior is in American style and so are the names of the burgers. Would you like Arizona, Ohio or perhaps San Francisco? All burgers can be prepared in a veg version as well.

The Tavern
Address: Chopinova 26, Prague 2
Web: https://thetavern.cz/
MAP
The Tavern is like a pioneer of burger restaurants in Prague. Perhaps for that reason alone it deserves a mention among the best burger places in Prague, although compared to newer competitors on the Prague burger scene it may be lagging behind in some ways. Nevertheless, the crowds still flock here for the classic American burger made from 100% beef neck meat, and the veggie burger offer is also wide. The place has a pleasant atmosphere, but the convenient location right next to Riegrovy Sady literally invites you to picnic with a view of the whole of Prague.
