Best burger in Cala Millor 2024 ▷ My recommendation

Anyone on holiday in Cala Millor fancy a real good burger has, you can follow our recommendations here.

For me only smashed burgers are “real burgers”. So here's the recommendation: The new one Nou in Cala Millor. They have good, juicy and tasty smashed burgers there. Definitely order with brioche rolls. Forget the rest!

The Nou is right on the shopping street.

Important NOTE: The more likely a restaurant”classic Spanish cuisine” offers, the more likely the burger consists only of the bun (roll), the patty (meat) and maybe a slice of tomato and lettuce.

Ketchup and mayo are often served with this and you can “build your own” burger.

That's why you often get the patty placed on the bottom bun and that's it.

Especially in Cala Millor, the restaurants often get the burger buns from Lidl or ALDI, but there from the fresh baking corner.

There are also McDonalds and Burger King in town if you fancy something like that.

For many years, the burger was considered a carelessly shaped main product, which arose from industrial fast-food production.

In the meantime, however, a hype has developed that can no longer be stopped.

More and more burger shops are springing up like mushrooms.

In the mobile version, new street food trucks are added every day, which tempt their customers with a wide variety of offers.

So it's not surprising that burgers are also made in-house.

It is well known that homemade still tastes best and you know exactly what is in it.

Burger patty: meat types, size and seasoning

The meat of the burger is called a patty and is usually beef.

However, there are also chicken patties and veggie options.

At Mc Donald's, the Mc Rib is also a burger patty, which consists entirely of pork and owes its high popularity to the lavishly used barbecue sauce.

Vegetarian burger patties usually consist of lentils, vegetables or quinoa.

We have something like that Cala Millor only seen at Brutalo Burger.

It gets a bit more exotic with the game variants, where minced meat from deer or wild boar is put on the burger.

However, all patties have one thing in common: the round shape.

The diameter is usually 12 to 14 cm. In height with the burger meat usually 1 to 2 cm.

To ensure that the taste remains as genuine as possible, the meat is seasoned with maximum pepper and salt.

Medium or well done? Personal taste decides here

A tasty beef steak has certain special features, which can also be attributed to the preparation of the meat.

Ground beef used for the burger is typically 20 percent fat.

If this was bought from the butcher or comes from the fresh food counter, you can also choose the “medium” preparation method without hesitation.

This means the meat is not fully cooked through.

This variant is very popular because the meat is not "fried" in this way and the burger scores with a fuller taste overall.

The fresh patty goes into the pan, where it is best seared.

The minced meat caramelizes and the typical aromas develop, which ensure the unmistakable taste of the medium burger.

How did the burger get its name?

So far, it has not been possible to clarify exactly why the burger is called Hamburger by its “full name”.

There are a number of myths about the origin of the name, with the connection to the Hanseatic city of Hamburg playing a role.

But the American city of Hamburg is also a regular topic of discussion.

This is located in the US state of New York.

Wherever the burger got its name from, in its purest form it consists of two halves of a bun, the meat patty already described in detail, lettuce and ketchup or mustard.

Usually a combination of both “sauces” is used.

If the burger is topped with cheese, its name changes from hamburger to cheeseburger.

Cheddar cheese is usually used for this.

But Emmental is also a popular type of cheese for cheeseburgers.
