The vote on the best burger restaurant in Finland begins today Monday. The Burger Lovers Finland food community is looking for the best hamburger restaurant in Finland. You can vote until Sunday this week until 8 June.
The winning restaurant will be announced on the eve of the Burger Lovers Festival on June 10.
The largest hamburger festival in the Nordic countries is now being held for the fifth time at the Rautatientori in Helsinki. 12 restaurants have been invited to the burger event, primarily representing the provincial burger pair. In addition to Kuopio, Hankasalmi, Kangasniemi, Varkaus, Turku, Rauma, Lohja and Espoo, there is also a new burger restaurant in Tallinn.
– This year we got an extraordinary number of pearls from the provinces, which will surely appeal to the burger people. Often, these slightly unknown burger artists from outside the Helsinki metropolitan area are also the most popular of the festival, says the founders of the Burger Lovers community Antti Suikkari in the bulletin.
