The undisputed King of Smash Burgers & Fried Chicken in Paris!
I've tried most of the hyped burger spots in Paris, but Buns is on a whole different level. If you are looking for the perfect meal, look no further.
The Smash Burger: This is how a smash burger should be. The crust on the beef is incredibly crispy (shoutout to the Maillard reaction!), while the meat remains juicy inside. They use premium meat from Le Bourdonnec, and you can really taste the quality. But the real game-changer? The homemade bun. It's pillowy, slightly sweet, and holds everything together without getting soggy. It's easily the most balanced smash burger in the city.
The Fried Chicken: Don't sleep on their fried chicken! It's just as good as the burgers. The breading is ultra-crunchy with the perfect spice blend, and the chicken inside is tender and steaming hot. It's better than most specialized fried chicken spots in Paris.
Verdict: The vibe is great, the ingredients are top-tier, and the execution is flawless. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Buns is a mandatory stop. It's officially my #1 spot in Paris.
Pro tip: Get the fries too--they are the perfect salty companion to the burger. read more
