Lunch in Paris: Burgers and Fries

December 30, 2015

At the foot of the massive Porte Saint Denis Arc in the trendy Faubourg Saint Denis (FSD) Neighborhood is one of the best burgers spots around. Simple and cheap - quite hard to find in Paris. Not to mention the quality as good - if you're not a fan of fast-food but like a burger from time to time, I highly recommend this place. No gimmicks just really good french beef, with only 3 menu selection. You know what you're getting. The restaurant is separated on two floors with outdoors seating (i[...]

I know I know! But it still works just fine...) anywhoooo. Eugene uses 50% less sugar in all its wonderfully delicious pastries in comparison to the regular bakery[...]
