Traumkuh - Burger & Poutine in Essen

Very tasty, we tried it yesterday. I had the vegan pumpkin and eggplant burger and it was absolutely delicious! The sweet potato fries were also perfect. I'm deducting one star because the regular fries were a bit cold and the portion of regular fries was apparently smaller than the sweet potato fries. The iced teas were a bit too sweet for our taste. For two people, we paid about €55. I would come back for a burger 😋.

I've never had such a delicious and juicy burger in my life. And the fries are so delicious, too. Again and again

I was there today and I have to say: I've never eaten such a delicious burger, Mashallah! The staff was also very friendly, and the atmosphere is simply wow! For me, the best burger place ever. Keep up the good work! May Allah grant you all the best!

They have the best burgers here. Chili cheeseburger, garlic fries, and samurai sauce, and the stress of everyday life is instantly forgotten. 🤤

Dear Dream Cow, I couldn't have imagined a more wonderful experience with you. Your cozy atmosphere under the cherry blossoms, your caring staff, and your heavenly delicious burgers and fries – I felt completely at home. I'll definitely be back. See you very soon :)

The burgers are delicious and the service is quick.

The service was very poor; almost no one was there, and they didn't address any problems. The food was very greasy; the fries were definitely warmed up, soggy, and completely inedible. The meat was very good, I must say, but the burger itself was very greasy and not recommended. We were very disappointed. The homemade iced tea arrived very warm despite the ice cubes. After discussing it with the server, he only offered us more ice cubes and no substitute. We would have preferred a different drink, but it was undrinkable in 32-degree heat outside. Overall, very poor, and we won't go back.

Simply amazing. The ambiance looks fantastic, the food is delicious, and the staff are really friendly and helpful with the food selection. There were three of us there, and I have to say both the beef and chicken were really great. I personally preferred the beef. The zucchini patty was also supposed to be good, but since I didn't try it myself, I'm just sharing my companion's opinion. The garlic fries are exactly what they say they are. Very tasty, but you have to like the garlic flavor. And the "regular" fries are also really well made. All in all, we were really impressed and can highly recommend Traumkuh.

The fries are highly recommended! The burgers are also great. The service is good, too. All in all, a top-notch place, definitely worth a visit!

I haven't seen better quality. I've always had delicious burgers there. The ones with the workers are especially cool and friendly. The burger bun is on a whole other level ✌️

The burgers are absolutely fantastic, especially the Tora Bora Burger. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to visit this place again!

Very good and unique burgers that you won't find anywhere else. A bit more expensive than other places, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for. When there are 2-for-1 deals on Uber Eats, it's definitely worth taking advantage of.

five stars for everything. great food and great service. if only they had Coca-Cola. the German Kola is just not the same.

Very tasty, great service, we'll be back!

Exceptionally delicious burgers with sweet potato fries and a choice of dip, enjoyed under blossoming cherry trees (replicas are not required, regardless of the season) and pleasant lighting. The music is pleasantly relaxing and not too loud for pleasant conversation. This ambiance is perfect for a relaxed evening with excellent food. The homemade drinks are also highly recommended.

The hamburger was delicious and the portion was generous. The fries weren't quite to my taste; they were very greasy, but everyone has different tastes and opinions. I ordered the monthly menu, a hamburger with fries and a drink, about €22. Since I didn't eat the fries, I'll just have the hamburger next time. I wanted to order iced tea, but they didn't have any ice cubes. It was a Saturday in the summer, and I can't believe they don't make it for customers. Since it was very hot inside, we had to wait until a table became available outside. The service was very good, and the food was excellent.

Great Super tasty and very friendly 👍🔥

Very friendly and helpful staff thank you very much

SUPER location – first time there, really great, attentive and not at all pushy service, the burgers are a dream, and the place is TOP-notch. It couldn't be better; we'd love to come back!‼️

Simply fantastic. You can really feel the quality behind it. I highly recommend the poutine and the Undertaker. The portions aren't actually that big, but I didn't feel as heavy and sluggish after the visit as I have at other burger joints.

The staff is incredible, the service outstanding, and the food exceptional. If you haven't been here yet, you absolutely have to check it out!

I highly recommend it to everyone. Nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect, everything was on the menu.👍

This is without a doubt the best place for burgers! I highly recommend it. The chicken burger and fries are my absolute favorites.

The cuisine was exquisite, and the team was warm and exceptionally hospitable. I look forward to returning on my next visit to the city.

The portion size of the dish I ordered was generous, the price reasonable – it was fantastic!

The food was okay—neither particularly good nor bad. The outdoor seating on the Rü is very noisy.

Like the perfect steak, only as a burger

Modern restaurant. We read the recommendations, and we can confirm them. Super tasty burgers, homemade mayonnaise, and fries... MEGA

Burgers and fries were excellent but too expensive. Homemade sodas were too expensive and not tasty.

Probably the best burger I've ever had

The burgers are made from premium ingredients and offer an unbeatably fresh and delicious taste. The patties are juicy and the buns are perfectly cooked to ensure ultimate freshness.

We were there just before closing time on Friday and were served by such a nice lady (with a braid)! We immediately felt at ease. I hope she gets her well-earned €20 an hour 😋

easily the best burger place i was able to find so far. and i have tried a few… stay simple and go with chillie cheese burger ✌️

Geschäftsreise wo kann man gut in Essen essen? Das war das Lokal mit den besten aktuellen Bewertungen. Ich bin weder Kenner von Burgern, noch von Trüffel. Aber Traumkuh war die perfekte Wahl. Bürger des Monats "Trüffel-Burger" = 6 von 5 Sternen. Eigentlich sind Süßkartoffeln nicht mein Ding, aber die Pommes war genial. Man lernt eben nie aus. Das Lokal ist klein und stilvoll. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Schade, dass der Trüffel-Burger eine Saison Burger ist.

Nice ambiance for a relaxed atmosphere. The burger, the homemade fries, and the homemade strawberry lemonade (a bit too small) were really good.

We had reserved a table for 6 people on a Sunday - arrived at the restaurant and asked for our table - nothing had been prepared, we had to push the tables together first. The young man helped with that, though. When I saw the waiter's T-shirt, I actually didn't want to eat anything - it was covered in stains and smears. You can't get to the table and serve people like that. Really disgusting! If you're working in the kitchen, you're supposed to put an apron on your head, and then take it off when you come to the front to serve! The drinks we ordered arrived and were just placed randomly on the table without anyone asking who had what. But the food was very good and the drinks delicious! The service wasn't that courteous, more like a check-in without any interaction!

Das Essen dort ist absolut unzumutbar. Habe noch nie einen so schlechten Burger serviert bekommen. Das Brötchen war so pampig und hat vor lauter Fett getrieft, das man es nicht essen konnte. Die Pommes wurden in einem halben Liter Friteusenfett serviert und hatten eine sehr merkwürdige Konsistenz. Als ob das noch nicht gereicht hätte, sieht man hinter der Theke die Leute die das Essen zubereiten mit dem Handy in den Hand telefonieren und gleichzeitig Handschuhe tragen, mit denen dann die Lebensmittel angefasst werden. Auf Google gibt es angeblich nur 4 und 5 Sterne Bewertungen, was absolut Fake ist.

The best burger I've ever had!!! Super delicious. Hinsir's replacement was amazing. Everything about this burger is just perfect. The patty, the bacon (beef), the sauce, and the bread. Everything was great!

The burger and the dip met the highest quality standards. However, the French fries were not sufficiently cooked and therefore lacked crispiness. The ambience was extremely appealing and richly detailed.

Based on the reviews we thought; Let's not go to the local burger joint today. The realization is that we would rather go to Tofino in the future. The burgers were good. Service was OK. Nothing more! Drink selection too small. You can also tell, compared to Tofino, that this is a franchise.

Very nice waiters, very tasty food and cozy. If I'm in the area again and feel like a burger, I'll happily come back.

Why am I only giving it one out of five stars? Today, my wife and I visited this fast-food burger restaurant for the first time. We've owned a voucher book (Schlemmerblock) for some time now and wanted to redeem the voucher for this restaurant. It's always a nice thing for us, as it allows us to get to know other new restaurants. The voucher offered the opportunity to order two dishes once and only pay for the more expensive one. The owner's interest is in gaining exposure and potentially gaining new regular customers. In accordance with the voucher guidelines, we pointed out our voucher before ordering. The waitress at the counter then informed us that her boss had instructed her to no longer accept Schlemmerblock vouchers. She couldn't give us an explanation for this. Her boss simply didn't want it anymore. Of course, that's not acceptable. Trying to attract customers with an entry in Schlemmerblock and then refusing to accept the voucher is absurd and not reputable. Obviously, you won't win new customers that way. Addendum from May 3, 2025: I have since been informed twice (on October 9, 2023, and again on May 3, 2025) by Google that the owner of this restaurant had challenged my review – first with the false claim that I had never visited the restaurant, and later with the accusation that my review was defamatory. Both times, I was able to prove to Google with evidence (including photos and location history) that my visit actually took place and that my report accurately reflects the actual incident. I believe it is important that other guests also know that there have apparently been repeated attempts in the past to have critical but legitimate reviews like mine deleted. Two other reviews that described the same incident at the time (refusal to accept a voucher) are also no longer visible – presumably at the instigation of the owner. However, I have archived screenshots of these reviews, which could further confirm my account. I don't mean to harm a restaurant – but anyone who publicly advertises vouchers and then refuses to accept them without giving a reason must expect honest criticism.

Unfortunately not everything 5 Because I noticed that the portions have become smaller At the same price Taste and everything about it is great Not so good for parking

Burger shop on the Rü. The burgers are good. There are also vegetarian and vegan burgers. The price level is higher. Payment is only possible in cash, which is no longer appropriate today and with the young audience. Therefore only three stars for service.

Typical hipster burger joint with delicious burgers and fries. The decoration takes a little getting used to, but that's a matter of taste. Unfortunately only a very small selection of drinks and somewhat clueless service who can't explain what's in the dips. Overall, however, still good.

The best burger in Essen! Tora Bora without Mars bars is an insider tip. Very nice employees and the quality is always at a very high level.

Dieser Burger war so heftig, ich dachte kurz, ich träume – jeder Biss ein Massaker aus Geschmack, Fett und purem Wahnsinn. Das Ding war nicht einfach Essen, das war ein Erlebnis auf illegalem Genuss-Level. Traumkuh auf die 1 !!!!!!

Definitiv auf die Eins!!! Mit Abstand der beste Burger, den ich je gegessen habe! Saftig, perfekt gewürzt und mit frischen, knusprigen Zutaten die den Geschmack einfach unvergleichlich machen. Jeder Biss war ein echtes Geschmackserlebnis, das mich sofort wieder dorthin zurückziehen lässt! Eine 11/10!! 🤤🍔🔥

Sehr leckeres Essen.Gute Bedienung.Schnelle Zubereitung.Gemütliches Restaurant.Große Auswahl.Leckere und knusprige Pommes.Gehen dort sehr oft hin.

THIS IS THE BEST BURGER SHOP. POINT. I've eaten a lot of burgers in my life, but NEVER anything like this! I had the Khanzir substitute with a double patty. That was awesome! Best burger of my life! But not only was the food very good, but also the atmosphere with calm jazz music and the relaxed feeling that is very important when eating. It's a burger joint that feels like a luxury restaurant without being stuffy. The service is first class. Especially when you come for the first time, you are welcomed and guided through the menu. I give 7 stars instead of 5. Always my pleasure. And this review comes from the heart. A location like this gets my 100% support!!! Thank you very much and keep it up!

If you want to eat in Essen, this is my first recommendation, even if you don't feel like burgers; you must have eaten here once.

It's a really nice restaurant to eat and drink, and very fast service

I don't know of a better halal burger far and wide than at Traumkuh. I don't know of any better homemade fries than at Traumkuh I don't know any staff more personable than at Traumkuh. If I was swimming in money, I would also be swimming in a sea of ​​these burgers 👍🏼

Very nice place specializing in burgers. All very well looked after and of quality with prices appropriate to the service

Since I travel a lot in Germany for work, I take the opportunity to try out new burger shops in different cities. My conclusion: Traumkuh in Essen is by far the best burger shop in Germany. Why? Many people claim to do everything themselves - at Traumkuh this is not an advertising promise, but rather normal standard. The patties are a decent size, juicy and are smashed just right without losing any of the meat juice. The buns go perfectly with it, they are fluffy but not too dominant, so that the taste of the burger comes into its own. There is also a difficult but nice decision: crispy fries or really good sweet potato fries - both absolutely recommended! My honest conclusion, without a bought opinion like some YouTubers: 5 stars and the best burger in Germany. At least. I'm looking forward to my next visit if I'm in the area.

Some of the best burgers I've eaten so far. The patties are so well prepared. Had one today with MARSBAR on it. Yes, you read that right. Mars bar.... Extravagant and incredibly tasty...

Insanely good burgers and extremely good garlic fries. Clear recommendation!

Their chili cheese burger is hands down the tastiest I've ever tasted. If you stop by, I highly recommend you give it a try!

The ambiance and service are very good. The food is delicious :)

It was absolutely delicious, but the portions are rather small. The price-performance ratio could be better. But the atmosphere was really nice.

Burger was very tasty, can highly recommend the bison burger. Fries were good.

Self-service. The service was so well - friendly is different. Too bad. The food was ok to good. However, this would not be my first choice for dinner in the future.

Delicious! The burgers are very tasty. The fries are the best I've ever eaten. I can only recommend it!

Der Burger war OK, aber weder groß noch überragend. Einrichtung und Ambiente verstehe ich nicht. Ich finds komisch. Bedienung gibt's nicht, man holt sich sein Essen selbst ab. Dafür war es recht teuer. Wie waren uns einig, dafür stimmt das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis nicht.

44 € für 2 Burger mit matschigen Pommes finde ich übetrieben. Dazu gibt es nur Wasser, kein Bier, kein Wein und das alles in Selbstbedienung. Die z. T. recht positive Kritik können wir daher nicht nachvollziehen. Einmal reicht.

The restaurant is busy on weekends and there aren't too many tables. When you're done eating, someone is usually ready to take your place. You order at the counter, there are no waiters. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio is "normal", but not particularly advantageous for the customer. So, it's very pretty and specializes in burgers, but the decoration makes you think more of Asian food like sushi. I ordered a chili burger and my companion ordered a classic burger with fries. Personally, I liked the chili burger better because the classic burger tasted 80% like the famous Joppie sauce, which I found a bit boring. Generally the meat is good.

Our favorite burger restaurant in Rüttenscheid. The service is super friendly and the food is absolutely amazing. 5/5 stars for the super tasty burgers and the homemade fries!

The burgers are amazing! Highly recommended

Simply one of the best burgers ever – always reliable and delicious. The drinks never disappoint either! The staff is friendly and the service is impressively quick.

I was in this restaurant a few days ago. Ambience really nice and effortless. Pain Point: CASH PAYMENT ONLY! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out about this before my visit. When I got there it was too late and unfortunately I had to go to another restaurant.

Dream cow lives up to its name! The burgers are juicy, the meat is of top quality, and the sauces give the perfect kick. The fries are also super crispy. Plus a modern, cozy atmosphere and friendly service, recommended!

Very good, can only be recommended

This burger was absolutely delicious - by far one of the best I've ever tasted! The team is incredibly friendly and the service is first class.

Traumkuh is a restaurant with a strong Asian flair. The impressive interior and the extremely friendly staff left a positive impression. What was interesting was that there is a 2 euro discount on the set menus - something you rarely see in other restaurants. The selection of burgers was also varied. The highlight for us was the patty – first class with juicy meat. However, the sauces didn't go well with the burgers. We had sweet potato sticks and a house drink, both of which were delicious. Please note, however, that only cash payment is possible here.

Very tasty burgers and poutine, really nice staff. I can only recommend it

One of the best hamburgers I've eaten in my entire life! Really excellent with meat cooked to perfection and juicy. Even the sweet potato fries and homemade maracuya juice were perfect. Go for it!

The burger was delicious and made with seemingly fresh ingredients. The fries were also delicious.

Very well maintained and super clean restaurant. The staff was also very friendly.

For me this is the best burger shop in NRW so far.

One of the best burgers in the entire area! Quite juicy, great meat taste, very good burger bun! Respect - great shop! I still have to deduct a star when it comes to the overall experience - for 2 reasons: 1. There is no table service. Which is why the rating for the service is of course lower. 2. I was told that you couldn't cook my burger until medium rare, it had to be cooked through. I don't think that's so good. Not as juicy and tasty as it could be. If that were to be changed, it would be the top address in the Ruhr area! Nevertheless, the store is at the top. UPDATE: I was there again - and this time the burger was fried medium. Had a chili cheese burger. And it was perfect - it really couldn't be better! Juicy and tasty. Awesome part! Therefore I have to increase the rating to 5.

My order of a chicken burger was served quickly and it tasted really good.

Brilliant menu, first class experience, excellent service.

One of the juiciest and tastiest burgers I've had. The offering is small but nice. I think self-service is totally ok because the shop is small and cute, but still has a super cozy and relaxed atmosphere.

A fantastic selection of burgers. The veggie burger was delicious and the fries were crispy and tasty

The fries are delicious but the hamburger is just okay. It's a very depressing place.

The service was excellent. The burgers were tasty and generous in size. There were plenty of fries. Overall, fantastic value for money.

The ambience was fantastic and the burger was delicious.

The dishes are delicious and the service is excellent. Everyone is incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Weekly menus that spice things up. Great fries. Fresh ambience and tasty drinks. Not cheap but worth it.

In general, I like Traumkuh as a burger shop. The burgers and fries are fine, and the sauces we had were also delicious. I also think it's great that there are special burgers that change every month (be sure to pay attention to this). Otherwise, I have to say that I found the music to be a bit too loud at times if you wanted to have a conversation. It felt like it was a little more expensive than comparable stores. 23€ for a burger, fries, drink and sauce, I found it a bit too much given the portion size, but still within reason. You can figure it out, but perhaps a note about self service and what should happen to the dishes after the meal would be helpful. But all in all worth a visit.

The ambience was wonderful. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it!

Very tasty, unfortunately no card payment!? I found it funny. Otherwise very nice. Friendly staff

This vegetarian burger is without a doubt the tastiest I've ever tasted! The toppings and flavors are truly innovative.

Personally, I was very disappointed with the food, the ambience was nice.

I have to say this was the best burger I've had in a long time. The beef was incredibly juicy, the cheese was perfectly melted and the fries were deliciously crispy. This store is really a hit!

Impressed with their friendly service and also the prices were very affordable.

Great ambience, friendly staff and super fast service.

The ambience is lively and pleasant. The staff is incredibly efficient.

I was really craving burger so I decided to order and to my surprise it was delivered quickly. As for the taste, the burger was juicy and delicious. Will definitely order more here.

One of the best burgers I've ever eaten! Tasty and visually appealing. The staff is efficient and friendly.
