AUGUST 10, 2021 – A burger outlet in the Croatian city of Pula has been included on the latest list of the Best Burgers in Europe for 2021.
Mason Burgers & Stuff in Pula was named as one of the places with the best burgers in Europe by Big 7 Travel.
“We’ve been checking out suggestions from our audience on their favourite burgers year-round, as well as contributions from the Big 7 Travel editorial team. And, just like the ever-changing hospitality industry itself, this year’s list features some new and creative burgers. From Denmark to Ireland, here’s where you’ll find the best burgers in Europe,” Big 7 Travel said.
The Croatian burger bar was ranked 28th on the list of the 50 Best Burgers in Europe 2021.
“Think you’ve had gourmet burgers before? Think again, ‘cos few places can compare to Mason Burgers & Stuff, an award-winning Croatian burger bar. Flavoursome, smoked beef patties come in doughy buns with toppings such as apricot and caramel onion jam and local ingredients, with a focus on Istrian cheese,” Big 7 Travel writes.
The Mason burger, dreamt up by chef Ivan Zidar, was voted the best Croatian burger of 2017 and 2018 according to visitor reviews and gastro critics at the Zagreb Burger Festival.

Mason Burgers & Stuff started out as a pilot project in July of 2017 in Pula and proved to be very successful.
“For a good burger, the most important thing is the bun then the meat. I think a good bun can make a difference and the best piece of meat in a bad bun would be a total failure. When things work so well, you get great results. There is nothing really that I would not put in a burger, though Mason is run by the politics that less is more so we make sure everything is perfectly balanced and moderate,” Ivan told us earlier.
