Best Burgers in Eindhoven: Stratumseind, Strijp-S

The best burgers in Eindhoven are concentrated in the city centre, around the Markt and Stratumseind, the longest bar street in the Netherlands, and in Strijp-S, the former Philips industrial site west of the centre that now holds studios, lofts and food venues. The Kruisstraat, north of the centre, adds a strip of international food.

Eindhoven grew around Philips, and the city still calls itself a city of light and technology, with the Eindhoven University of Technology and a large international workforce. That mix shapes eating out: casual, after work and often in English. The regional food is Brabant’s. Worstenbrood, spiced minced meat baked in bread dough, is the North Brabant snack a local will point you to, and carnival week turns the centre into one long party. In October, Dutch Design Week brings the city its biggest crowds of the year.
