    Cheddar burger
    Tenzin G.

    Super small shop, but the most delicious burger I've ever eaten! I got the cheddar burger and my friends got the falafel burger while some of my other friends got the steak flanks. Out of us three I feel like I'm the only person who would give this place a 10 out of 10. It's like the best burger I've ever had!! The burger meat is just so juicy and the cheese falls perfectly in the melted cheddar. The french fries were good like normal and the salad was good like normal as well, but the burger really blew me away. However, like I said my friends who got the other burgers so they really enjoyed it but definitely not as enthusiastic as I was and my friends who got the steak or even less enthusiastic. They were understaffed, as our waiter mentioned, for the night since they didn't plan for so many people coming without reservations. However, the service was still splendid and they were super nice and funny! They're also very friendly and nice even though we are from America. It was a great experience and I had a lovely time here!! The burgers are super expensive all €16 or more

    When my wife suggested a burger place on the South edge of Paris for our 2nd dinner in Paris I was hesitant as it didn't seem to be a very French meal; however, the burgers were worth the walk and it was a very nice date night meal. The burgers were made as only could be made in Paris, almost tartar and dripping in a cheese sauce, not just a slice of cheese. The atmosphere was comfortable and the staff, especially the owner, was fun and attentive. A good bottle of wine made the meal feel French. Make your reservations and enjoy a great meal!

    Gascon Tartare....yummy!

    An excellent neighborhood burger place with very talented staff. Service was quick. Burgers and tartare were delicious. They have for most of the burgers a cream cheese based on cheddar, bleu or reblochon touch that add a great taste to the burger. I had also the Gascon a tartare little bit cooked served with a house salad and French fries. They also make in-house their own ketchup made with fresh tomatoes. A must to go if you are in the neighborhood. Well deserved by metro Corvisart or Glacière in the 13th district. Reservations on Saturday ask for Mr. Gerard.

    This is probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. I really enjoyed it. My two friends and I came for dinner while we were in Paris and were not disappointed. The staff was super nice and friendly. They helped us with whatever we needed. The burgers were cooked perfectly and they even said that if we were not happy with I.T they would remake I.T. Luckily when the burger came out I.T was cooked to perfection. The cheese on top of the burger was delicious. If you are looking for a spot to have a good burger in Paris, be sure to go here! We also ordered a bottle of wine and I.T went perfect with the burgers we ordered. These burgers were also huge. If you don't eat a lot you could probably even split one!

    I have been a couple of times. Seriously, they have the best burgers in the world. I know that's a pretty bold statement but at least in all the spots I have traveled which is pretty extensive. I had the burger of the month this time ... The Ched Pepper. Tremendous. In the future, every time I am in Paris this will be a stop.

    Incredible! The burger was hands down one of the best I've ever had. I plan to revisit next time I'm in town.

    You know a grub spot is gonna be dope when you walk in and they're playing some good ass hip hop…read morejoints--- Slum Village, ATCQ, Jurassic 5, Les Nubiennes... the jams were just as tight as the flavor. After a long walk through the shops of Bastille, our feet got tired, and craved a good burger. Mapped out "best burger in town" and this spot popped up, with the label on the door reading "The Best Burger in Town". Pierre hooked it up with some good service. They had an English menu available via QR code... thank goodness. My hubs had the Clakos Burger, this month special served with Camembert Au Lait Cru, some good ass cheese from Normandy. It takes a lot to get to the depth of my husbands belly and make him smile after a good meal, but this burger had him pleased. Few good pointers from him: loved the red bell peppers in it, the bread was so soft and fresh, the meat was flavorful, and the cheese was outstanding. My son had a plain cheeseburger-- his points were: the meat was so good, and flavorful all around. A 5 out of 5 coming from a 7 year old. I had the chicken nuggets. 6 pcs for 7€. Not to shabby, and they served it with a choice of barbecue sauce and or sweet and sour sauce. Yum. This location was small, and easy to miss. Just look for a small door and window. The size of a hallway, there are four tables with comfortable seating inside. And a hand wash sink up at the front from All the burger juice that will drip down your hands as you devour. We learned they have 4 locations, one owner, and the bread is cooked fresh daily. Definitely will be back on our next trip!

    The best burger joint! The burger tartare was amazing and the chips were even crispier!…read more The drinks were even stronger! Definitely worth the visit for a fantastic burger
