Searching for the best burgers in Paris, Toulouse or Bordeaux usually starts with the bun. Ours are soft, lightly toasted and built to handle serious fillings. But choosing a burger at FrogPubs is about more than beef or chicken. It is about personality.
Whether you are planning a relaxed lunch, meeting friends for dinner, or searching for late-night food after a gig or the match, FrogPubs serves proper burgers with our own house brewed craft beer. Our kitchens in Paris stay open late, so you can settle in for a great burger and a pint long after most places have stopped serving.
Over the years, we have noticed a pattern. The burger you choose tends to say quite a lot about you. Entirely unscientific, of course. But surprisingly accurate.
The Frogtastic: The One Who Commits
If you order the Frogtastic, you are not here to nibble.
280g of French beef, mature cheddar, smoked bacon, pulled pork, fried egg, crispy onions and house BBQ sauce. This is the kind of American-style burger in Paris that requires two hands and a plan of attack.  Â
You are decisive. Possibly here for live sport. Definitely hungry.
Beer pairing: go for one of our hop-forward IPAs. The bitterness cuts through the richness and keeps every bite balanced. If you prefer something maltier, a well-rounded amber ale stands up beautifully to the bacon and egg.
The BBQ: The Organised One
Beef, smoked cheddar, smoked bacon, red onions, pickles and our house BBQ sauce. Focused, balanced, no distractions.
You probably booked the table. You might also be the person who suggested FrogPubs in the first place because you know we do reliable food and beer, whether it is a weekday lunch in Paris or a late dinner after the match.
Beer pairing: smoky or rich beers like a Porter or Burton.
The Korean Fried Chicken: The Adventurous One
Crispy fried chicken with our sweet and spicy house sauce, plus slaw and a touch of wasabi mayo if you fancy it. This is not a quiet burger.
You like a bit of heat. You are the one who says yes to another round.
Beer pairing: choose something bright and lively. A beer like our Ginger Twist or Dragon will echo the spice and cool things down at the same time. Keep it punchy but not overpowering.
The Crunchy Chicken: The Diplomat
Crispy chicken, mature cheddar, iceberg, red onions, fresh salsa, mayo and BBQ sauce. It keeps everyone happy.
You value balance. You are here for a proper burger and a good catch-up. Maybe it is a relaxed lunch in one of our Paris pubs, maybe it is a laid-back dinner. Either way, you are not overcomplicating things.
Beer pairing: a clean, easy-drinking lager. Cold, crisp and quietly effective.
The Bacon Cheese: The Comfort Loyalist
Beef, cheddar, smoked bacon, red onions, pickles and our house burger sauce. This is comfort food done properly.
You know what you like. You do not need a twist. You just want one of the best burgers in town, paired with a solid pint.
Beer pairing: an amber or red ale with gentle caramel notes that echo the bacon and cheese. Familiar, satisfying, no fuss.
The Mushroom: The Considered Choice
Our vegan patty with mushrooms and chickpeas, vegan mayo, smoked paprika and onion rings. Thoughtful, flavour-led and built with the same care as everything else on the menu.
You read the ingredients. You appreciate that a good burger in Paris does not have to be beef to be indulgent.
Beer pairing: a lighter pale ale or a refreshing wheat beer. Something aromatic that keeps the earthiness bright.
The Smashburger: The Purist
Beef, cheddar, iceberg and burger sauce. That is it.
You believe that if the basics are right, you do not need much else. This is the burger equivalent of a perfectly poured pint.
Beer pairing: our house lager or a session IPA. Straightforward, well brewed, dependable.
Lunch, Dinner and Late-Night Burgers
One of the joys of a proper pub is flexibility. In our Paris pubs, you can join us for a relaxed lunch, a post-work burger and beer, or a late-night bite when most kitchens have already closed. The menu stays strong throughout the day, because a great burger does not care what time it is.
Whether you are looking for American-style burgers in Paris, a beer and burger pairing before live sport, or simply somewhere that serves food late, FrogPubs has you covered.
And if our entirely unofficial personality test has missed the mark, that is fine too. Order what you fancy. Add sweet potato fries. Upgrade to loaded fries. Have another pint.
We will not judge. We will just keep the grill hot and the beer fresh.
