April 12, 2025 by Admin • 7 min read

Welcome to Monopoly Burger, where every bite tells a story of passion, quality, and craftsmanship. Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam’s vibrant Kinkerstraat, we take pride in serving some of the finest halal burgers in the city. But what truly sets us apart? It all starts with our meticulous meat selection process—a behind-the-scenes journey that ensures only the best reaches your plate.

Why Meat Selection Matters

At Monopoly Burger Amsterdam, we believe that a great burger begins long before the patty hits the grill. The foundation of our juicy, flavorful burgers lies in the careful sourcing and selection of our meat. Here’s why our butcher secrets make all the difference:

• Quality Over Quantity: We prioritize premium cuts that deliver rich taste and perfect texture.
• Ethical Sourcing: Our suppliers adhere to strict halal standards, ensuring both quality and respect for ethical practices.
• Consistency: Every patty is crafted to meet our high standards, guaranteeing the same delicious experience every time.

Step-by-Step: Our Butcher’s Selection Process

1. Partnering with Trusted Suppliers

We work exclusively with local Dutch farms and trusted halal-certified butchers who share our commitment to excellence. Our partnerships are built on transparency, ensuring traceability from farm to table.

2. Handpicking the Best Cuts

Not all meat is created equal. Our chef, Chef Sofyan, personally oversees the selection of cuts, focusing on:

• Marbling: The right balance of fat for juiciness and flavor.
• Freshness: Only the freshest meat makes the cut—never frozen, always tender.
• Texture: Firm yet yielding, ensuring a perfect bite every time.

3. The Grind: Where Magic Happens

Once selected, the meat is ground in-house to maintain control over texture and fat distribution. This step is crucial for achieving the signature Monopoly Burger taste—juicy, flavorful, and never greasy.

4. Seasoning & Preparation

Our blend of spices is a closely guarded secret, but we can reveal that simplicity is key. We let the quality of the meat shine, enhancing it with just the right amount of seasoning.

What Makes Our Burgers Unique?

While many burger joints in Amsterdam focus on trendy toppings or gimmicks, we keep it classic with an unwavering focus on the patty itself. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Halal Excellence: Our commitment to halal means ethical sourcing without compromising on taste.
• Local Love: Supporting Dutch farmers while delivering globally inspired flavors.
• Chef’s Touch: Every patty is shaped by hand, ensuring care in every detail.
