The 8 best hamburgers around the world

Jacqui L./Yelp

Is there any food more quintessentially all-American than the hamburger? Whether you like it with or without cheese, topped with everything under the sun or kept pure and simple, one thing is for certain: Beef patties are a staple of American cuisine.

And much like you can find foods from almost every country in American restaurants, eateries in other nations have added burgers to their menus as well.

While some stay faithful to American-style burgers, others put their own twists on the classics.

Let’s take a trip around the world and explore some of the best hamburgers you’ll find in every corner of the Earth.

Taqueria dos Parados: Monterrey, Mexico

Starting south of the border, the burgers at this standing-room-only joint are famous for being among the best in the city. The beef patties are grilled over hot coals and served Mexican-style, on fresh buns with spicy house-made salsa, bacon, cheese and ham. The result is a rich and delicious concoction that may make any American burger pale in comparison

Foie Gras Burger: Au Pied de Cochon, Montreal

Heading north into Canada, you’ll find some of the most decadent dishes anywhere at Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal; however, one of the most popular items on the menu is the PDC Burger: A venison patty topped with foie gras, maple-cured pork belly, cheddar cheese, port and red-wine-infused mayonnaise, balsamic sauce and marinated onions served on a white bun. It’s an explosion of flavors unlike anything you’ll ever taste.

Mapetla: Jo’burger In Dublin

When you’re reviewing your options for Dublin hotels you may want to find a spot close to Jo’burger, a popular burger joint. With a whimsical 1970s-inspired theme the place is fun, but the real stars are the burgers, made from organic beef, lamb or fish. Order the Mapetla, a patty served with beetroot salad and relish, or the Zondi, served with chili, green curry mayonnaise and coriander.
