The French and Their Burgers

One thing I have noticed since we have been in France and that is how popular the Burger is here. Lots of restaurants and cafes seem to have a burger of some description on their menus, obviously the more up market restaurants don't, but you do see them a lot.

Also to our horror we found out that the French love MacDonald's. Our friend Richard told us that the French our second only behind the American's for creating income for this fast food giant, and we have noticed when walking past these placed they are packed at meal times.

Now as it so happens we have a little upmarket Burger joint at the end of our street just 50 metres from our front door called the Butcher Brothers so we had to try it. They actually have a Burger Bar and a more sophisticated Steak restaurant attached.....we went to the Burger Bar.

Butcher Brothers Burger Bar

The inside is great and is obviously very new, very trendy, and felt really good. The staff were very friendly, helpful and could speak English.....so within no time we were tucking into our very tasty burger lunches.

Trendy Setup

We both went for the 9.90 Euro lunch menu which included Burger, Chips, Salad and Soft Drink.....yes I said Soft Drink, after all the Liver needs a break once in a while.

Why Eat At The Golden Arches When You Can Eat Here?

At this point I have to formally apologize to Lesley, who has told me that she is tired of seeing photos of her eating!!!!....Well, sorry darling, here you is again.....I think she will confiscate my camera soon!!

After lunch a ran around the corner to a little patisserie shop to buy dessert....now if there is one thing the French are extremely good at, it is Patisserie.....yum!!
