We can never get enough of good burgers. That’s what brings us to Saints & Sinners today, a wonderful place for all lovers of meaty burgers and extravagant vegan dishes. Food sinners find this holy gourmet temple in a side street off the Reeperbahn in St. Pauli.

The styling is reminiscent of a good old German pub rather than a burger restaurant. The young staff, however, are not at all rustic and are prepared to fulfil our every need. 

A new gem, a new destination, but definitely not a newcomer in its business – “Quentin’s Burger Bar” has been around for a year in St. Pauli now, in the immediate vicinity of the Reeperbahn.

The restaurant, shaped by the charm of Tarantino films, has a pleasant and charmingly styled atmosphere. This is also reflected in the menu.

There is, for one, the Mia Burger which gets its name from the drug-addicted wife of the gangster boss Marsellus Wallace in the film “Pulp Fiction”.

With its juicy tomato-mozzarella patty, roasted capsicum, gherkins, red onions and salad greens, the burger is simply staggering. The flavour is rounded off with the homemade red and green pesto sauce. There’s nothing more to say except: “… Mhmhmh … that’s a very tasty burger …”

Diligently, whenever there’s a little blue peeking from behind the clouds, we take advantage of it. We swing ourselves onto our bikes and rattle through Hamburg and its ever-growing burger scene.

After an arduous journey through the city, we walk into the next burger palace for once again a civil - a "bürgerlich" - meal.

The “Burgerlich”, directly by the Domplatz, doesn’t just score highly with creative burger ideas but also with the local ingredients used. Any products used carry the “homemade” label or are produced locally.
