PNY Marais is not only an overly hip burger shop, the food is also actually pretty good. If you like tasty burgers, PNY is the place you are looking for.
During my recent visit to Paris, I also wanted to find out if the current quality burger trend is as strong in Paris as in London. And I quickly noticed that trendy burger joints have definitely arrived in the French capital.
Because I was in the area, I went to PNY Marais. The interior is modern and I think designed really beautifully.
The menu is short and focuses on what this place is about: burgers. When I ordered the Morning California burger with French fries, the waiter suggested it bloody - typically French, I would say. I opted for medium instead.
It was a little bit unfortunate that the patty fell apart as soon as I touched it, but on the plus side, the burger tasted absolutely delicious. The cheese was melted and added a nice taste, the bacon was good and the sauce was great. And the skin-on French fries were also as good as potatoes can get.
Hands-down, this burger easily beats most of the quality burgers I have had in London. I think it might partly be down to the meat and the other ingredients.
The wine list is short, butafter a quick chat with my waiter, I decided to go for the Gaillard white wine. At first I was not the biggest fan, but a few sips in, I quite liked the subtle mineral notes.
I had to take a little break, before continuing with the dessert. The cheesecake was fine, but nothing exceptional. To finish off, I decided to get a coffee, but I was a bit disappointed by the thin espresso, I had expected better when I read the collaborate with the local coffee icon Coutume.
Throughout my dinner, the service was very friendly and I was lucky that I only had to wait for a short while - it looked like this place gets pretty busy regularly. Anyway, in my opinion, the PNY burgers are well worth the wait.
