Bon Burger's signature is the technique — local pasture-raised beef gets smashed hard onto the hot griddle, building a crispy, caramelized crust while the interior stays tender and juicy. The 12-week aged 45+ cheddar melts perfectly into the crevices. This is the burger that defines the restaurant's philosophy of quality basics done right.
Tips from diners
Order a glass of natural wine with this — the cheese and beef pair beautifully with low-tannin reds or orange wines.
If the Smash is available, start with that. It's the restaurant's calling card. The crust-to-meat ratio is near perfect.
Fresh Zeeland oysters shucked to order.
Tips from diners
Start with 3–4 oysters and a glass of white natural wine. A perfect prelude to the burger.
Crispy-cut fries served with a house-made special sauce.
Tips from diners
The fries are a perfect vehicle for the house sauce — don't skip them.
Curated list of 100+ natural wines from European producers.
Tips from diners
Ask the staff for recommendations — they know the list deeply and can match wines to burger type. The orange wines are a bold pairing choice.
For those who want more beef and more crust, the double stack delivers. Each thin patty hits the griddle separately, building independent crusts before being stacked. The aged cheddar between the patties provides additional richness. This is a bolder, larger burger without sacrificing the smash technique.
Tips from diners
This burger requires two hands and focus — order it if you're genuinely hungry. Don't pair with appetizers if you order this.
Bon Burger Bar opened in 2023 in Amsterdam Oud-West as a collaboration between the team behind natural wine bar Bottleshop and burger specialists. The restaurant features dry-aged, locally sourced smash burgers on brioche buns paired with an curated list of 100+ natural wines. The pasture-raised beef is specially developed for smashing, and all cheddar is 12-week aged for superior melting and flavor.
