The…read moreburgers were good but definitely not at the top of my list when it comes to the 'best I've ever had'. Others have commented on this as well but it's centrally located in Bonn and close to all of the shops. You can visit Beethoven's childhood home (now a museum) if you're up for a 10 minute walk. Just ask anyone at the restaurant where it is and they will tell you. If I'm ever back in Bonn I'd definitely go back if given the chance. This place is the epitome of A-OK.

I am a burger conservative-even a burger bigot-so I don't know whether it is a good thing that they have a large selection of burgers, ranging from classic burgers with cheddar cheese to internationally-inspired (and I guess experimental) burgers such as burgers with chorizo and dates; nachos, guacamole and salsa; or shrimps and pineapple. As the side dishes, you choose among pommes, curly fries or potato wedges. Especially curly fries are strongly recommended. Herr Lehmann has two serious problems in my opinion. The first one is that it is really difficult to enjoy the taste of the patty as other condiments and sauces dominate the taste. Take the burger "Der Platzhirsch" I had once, for instance. Due to the tangy BBQ sauce, the onions and bacon, I could not really enjoy the taste of an obviously juicy, delicious and properly medium cooked patty. Even basic burgers such as "Herr Lehmanns Cheddar" have the same problem. Burgers taste good, no discussion about it, but I am sure customers would be happier if they can enjoy the taste of the patty-the backbone of a good burger. The other problem is about their buns. Neither ciabatta nor dinkel buns are suitable for burgers I guess. Especially ciabatta bun is so crusty that the patty slides off the bun, leaving you eating the patty, bun and other condiments separately with knife and fork. To quote a view on the best burger bun: "The ideal soft burger bun should be pillowy, squishy, and tender, with a tight but soft crumb and a distinct sweetness. It should hold up nicely to the burger's juices, but should never be tough or cottony. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you don't want a burger that disintegrates half way through your meal." I 100% concur with what's said above. Unfortunately buns at Herr Lehmann are not meeting these standards. It was a huge disappointment for me. Overall, despite its drawbacks, Herr Lehmann might be one of the best places to have gourmet burgers in such a nice atmosphere. With a few minor changes, there is no reason why it cannot be the best burger restaurant in town and a mecca for real burger lovers.
