"You’re so hungry that you mistook Invalides for a cream puff. Now it’s mid-afternoon, and restaurateurs are only halfway through their siestas. Birdy to the rescue. The all-day joint serves a banger of a beef, chicken, or falafel burger, topped with cheese, pickled onion, jalapeño, or housemade sauce, depending on your whims—yep, in a land where you can't usually swap salad for fries, customizing your burger at Birdy is totally kosher. Go after 3pm for a better chance at scoring one of the few seats, or take yours to go alongside housemade fries seasoned with slightly spiced salt. You’ll make everyone on the Champ de Mars chewing on a stale, overpriced sandwich jealous." - emily monaco, sophie friedman, sara lieberman
