Restaurant in València, Spain
World's best burger group. Go.
Named the world's best burger group at the World's 25 Best Burgers 2025, Hundred Burgers in Ciutat Vella uses daily-ground dry-aged Rubia Gallega beef and fresh-baked demi-brioche buns. It is the strongest case for serious casual dining in València, especially from the counter. Booking is easy — walk-ins are usually fine, though a day's notice removes any uncertainty.
Hundred Burgers earned the title of world's leading burger group at the World's 25 Best Burgers 2025 awards. That credential alone makes the Sant Vicent Màrtir address worth knowing if you're in Ciutat Vella. The question is whether the València outpost lives up to that billing day to day — and for most visitors, the answer is yes, with a few caveats worth understanding before you go.
The philosophy here is direct without being simple. Hundred Burgers uses dry-aged beef, frequently Rubia Gallega, ground fresh each day. The buns are house-made demi-brioche, baked every morning. These two decisions , daily grinding, daily baking , are what separate this from the city's other casual burger options. Dry-aged Rubia Gallega is the same cattle breed Spanish fine-dining kitchens prize for its fat marbling and depth of flavour; at Hundred Burgers, that quality is applied to a format most places treat as a cost-cutting exercise. The result is a patty with considerably more complexity than you'd expect at this price point and in this format.
The setting is casual and contemporary rather than formal, which means you can walk in dressed for a day of exploring Ciutat Vella and feel entirely comfortable. Service is attentive without being theatrical. This is a venue that puts its effort into what's on the plate rather than the performance around it , a sensible allocation of attention given the award-winning product.
If counter or bar seats are available when you arrive, take them. At a burger-focused operation like this, counter seating puts you close to the prep action and gives the meal a rhythm that table seating in a fuller dining room can dilute. You can watch the assembly process, which is genuinely instructive , the care taken with bun-to-patty proportion and build order is part of what makes the product consistent. For solo diners especially, the counter removes any awkwardness and gives you something to engage with while you eat. This is not a venue where sitting at the counter is a consolation prize; at Hundred Burgers, it's the better seat.
Book here if: you want a serious burger in València backed by verifiable international recognition; you're a food-focused traveller who treats quality casual dining as seriously as a tasting menu; or you're eating solo and want a counter seat with energy and ease. Skip it if: you're looking for a special-occasion venue with a full wine programme and formal service , for that, consider Ricard Camarena or El Poblet instead. For the food-focused explorer, Hundred Burgers sits in its own category: it's not competing with Fierro or Kaido Sushi Bar on ambition and length; it's competing on craft applied to a single product, executed repeatedly at a high level.
Address: C/ de Sant Vicent Màrtir, 44, Bajo Derecha, Ciutat Vella, 46001 València. Reservations: Walk-ins are generally manageable given the casual format, but booking ahead removes uncertainty, particularly at peak meal times. Booking difficulty is rated easy. Dress: Casual , no expectations beyond what you'd wear to explore the old city. Budget: Price range is not published in the venue record, but the artisanal casual format and regional positioning suggest a mid-range spend per head; confirm current pricing on arrival or via the venue directly. Leading timing: Lunch on a weekday gives you the freshest product of the day , buns baked that morning, beef ground that morning , with less competition for seats than weekend dinner service.
València has a serious restaurant scene anchored by Michelin-level cooking from names like Ricard Camarena and destinations further out such as Quique Dacosta in Dénia. Hundred Burgers operates in a different register entirely , it is the answer to the question of where to eat well when you want something casual, fast to decide on, and backed by a genuine commitment to ingredient quality. It pairs well with a day spent in Ciutat Vella and fits naturally between a morning market visit and an afternoon exploring the neighbourhood.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Walk-ins are generally manageable at a casual burger counter format like this, but Hundred Burgers earned the World's 25 Best Burgers 2025 title, which will draw more deliberate visitors. Arriving early or at off-peak hours is a safer bet than planning around a peak-time slot. If you have a fixed schedule in València, call ahead or arrive at opening to avoid a wait.
Yes. Counter or bar seating at a burger-focused spot is one of the more comfortable solo formats in casual dining. The Ciutat Vella location on Sant Vicent Màrtir is compact and quick-service in feel, so you won't be anchored to a table for two hours. Solo food travellers specifically chasing the World's 25 Best Burgers 2025 accolade will find this a practical stop.
The database does not list specific menu items, so specific dish names can change here. What is documented is that the kitchen uses dry-aged Rubia Gallega beef ground fresh daily and house-made demi-brioche buns baked each morning. On that basis, ordering the signature or most straightforward beef burger is the most direct way to assess what the World's Best Burger Group accolade is built on. Check the venue's official channels for the latest details.
Ricard Camarena is the default answer for anyone who wants Michelin-level technique over a casual format. Llisa Negra and Vuelve Carolina cover the mid-range sit-down Spanish cooking bracket. Riff offers more accessible fine dining. Toshi handles the Japanese end of the market. Hundred Burgers occupies a category none of these do: internationally awarded, casual, and built around a single format done at a high level.
It depends on what the occasion calls for. If you want to mark something with a serious, award-backed meal in a relaxed setting, the World's 25 Best Burgers 2025 title gives it a genuine talking point. For a formal celebration with longer service and a wine list, Ricard Camarena or Llisa Negra are better fits. Hundred Burgers is a strong choice for food-focused occasions where quality matters more than ceremony.
Counter or bar seating appears to be available based on the format, and it is worth requesting if you have the option. At a burger operation focused on prep craft, sitting close to the action gives you a clearer read on what makes the product worth an international award. The Bajo Derecha unit on Sant Vicent Màrtir is a compact, casual space, not a table-service restaurant, so the counter format suits the concept.
