One of my passion projects is paying my old friend Ronald McDonald a visit in different countries…read more I've been to a McDonalds in Vietnam, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, etc. We weren't planning to go during this Paris trip, but nothing other than Au Pied De Cochon was open late, and we hit that earlier. I'll spare you the details, but it really didn't inspire me. On our last night at 1:13am in Paris, the Golden Arches were there like a lighthouse in a storm. We walked in with a bottle of red wine, ordered a small feast on the little touch screen, and walked upstairs to take a seat. We got a 20 piece nuggets (obviously), a couple hamburgers, large fries, a McCrispy for the plot, and 2 Mcflurrys. I ask one question to you, my dear reader, is anything in life as consistent as a McDonalds 20 piece nuggets? They just don't miss. Between crisp bites of these golden nuggets dunked in a black pepper sauce that we don't have in the states, I got a little sentimental. Nothing has seen me in every stage of my life like a 20 piece nug has. They've been there for me between games of middle school basketball tournaments, they were there at my absolute lowest when my first girlfriend shattered my heart into a million pieces, and they were there in the bed of a truck in Palos Verdes when me and my homies were enjoying our last days in our hometown before heading off to our respective colleges. They've seen my professional career go from production to accounting to real estate brokerage to tech sales. They've seen me pick up and put down countless hobbies: basketball, guitar, writing, a kombucha company, drums, video production, a podcast, voice lessons, making food videos, etc. If everything else in life is changing, the 20 piece nuggets are always the same. They have seen every iteration of who I am as a man, and for that, I am grateful. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

Burger was quite good, well cooked and nicely toasted bun. However, it did not have enough taste in it thus something was missing. Perhaps more powerful sauce or jalapenos would improve it? Fries had better than average taste but were unfortunately too soft. Burger & fries combo was enough for me, perhaps not for a hugely hungry teenager but I would say big enough for most. Small place but quite many seats including few outside. Around 8pm on Thursday the place was maybe half full. Would I return? Why not. I would give it 3.5 stars is possible so not the best place but does its main job i.e. fills the stomach!

I opted for the souped up "Texas" burger called The return of the cowboy. This starts with a classic cheeseburger and adds onion rings , bacon and bbq sauce on top. I got mine medium which was perfectly juicy. The onion rings were cold which was a bummer because they solidified while sitting. Bacon was good and otherwise nothing needed more seasoning. Sweet potato fries were a welcome option swap for standard frites. The combo for €20 includes a drink . Opted for unsweetened lemonade . It was literally lemon and water on ice. Pucker sour and I asked for honey since they didn't have sugar substitute . This location in the Marais is chic and you could easily grab an outdoor table and people watch.

American friendly for sure, but the French eat there as well, which is a good sign. There might be a better burger nearby (the market closes at 3pm unlike here), but don't discount this place. Much love.

Out of the 2 sandwiches we ordered one was great and the other was terrible. First of all they are all premade sandwiches sitting in a case. Lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise eggs etc is already on the sandwich. They then toasted the sandwich which made everything wilted and gross. Both sandwiches only half had any ingredients inside. At least one sandwich tasted great. It was a potato and cheese with some crispy onions. So good. Thankfully we also ordered a salad because my sandwich was pretty gross. The Caesar chicken salad was actually delicious. The dressing tasted nothing like Caesar but it was really good.

The interior can get quite jammed up during lunch hour, but that's where you order. There are plenty of sandwiches. Few vegetarian options as well. Also a lot of bakery items. Enough to fill you up at an affordable price. When we stopped by, we ordered two different vegetarian sandwiches on baguettes and it was pretty good. They can also heat them up. They're pretty big and honestly shareable between two people. As for seating, there's some seats inside, some in front of the place, and some more in a tent across the sidewalk. We were lucky to find a spot in front of the place, but do keep in mind that it can get packed.

We stopped here after getting back to Paris late one evening. The setup is identical to any found in the states, down to the peanuts. This is clearly not the experience we've had at that other US based chain from Oakbrook IL, which always feels tiny and cramped. We ordered a Burger (€9.95) and a Bacon Burger (€12.95) both with cheese. And no, it wasn't called a "Royale with Cheese" LOL. Our Tab came to €23.77 plus 10% VAT or €26.15. Both tasted very fresh and served Medium, with the meat being a little pink inside. Nice! The Coke machine inside, was also identical to the ones you've seen that serve multi-drinks. But here, everything tasted like Dr Pepper. Ugh. Otherwise, everything was good.

I remember fondly my first visit over 20 years ago to the very first non-franchised 5 Guys. So I will admit I have a special place in my heart for this very successful fast food chain. After spending the day at Roland Garros, sitting in the sun, this was a perfect option for dining. Nothing fancy needed. We arrived and the place was packed. They have inside dining upstairs, outside dining in an attached area and a third area next to the street which is also covered. The line moved quickly as they had I think four ordering areas open. On each occasion we ordered a Little Burger, a Petite Fries, a coke, and a beer. Food cost $23 Euro. We opened out burger, cut it in half and poured our fries out to share. I have to say this burger and these fries were perfectly cooked. They came exactly as ordered. My only wish has remained over the years is that I wish they warmed their buns! Highly recommend. No reservations taken. Line moves quickly. Attitude of all workers is unbelievably positive. Will recommend.
