Maison Burger Ponthieu

MAISON Burger, we’ve talked about it here and there. It’s a place that offers tasty, gourmet burgers, to eat on your own or to share thanks to mini burgers. After seducing Odeon, the brand opened another eatery in the 6^th arrondissement, and MAISON is now storming the 8^th arrondissement by setting in rue de Ponthieu, a street parallel to the Champs-Elysées.

At lunchtime, for lunch break, before a night out in a nice bar, or in apero-time version, the time will meet all your needs. Push the door and discover a welcoming and laid-back atmosphere where mural shelves, plants and industrial lights create the decorum.

Like the other 2, we find simple but delicious burgers. Go for the Classic with its sundried tomatoes and fried red onions, the Signature with its pancetta and its candied shallots and fresh herbs, the Poulet [Chicken] pulled with bacon and wholegrain mustard dressing with rosemary, or the tasty Barbecue with avocado and Mimolette cheese.

We still love the Veggie version that combines marinated and breaded tofu, shitake, snow peas, perilla and yakitori condiment. Even me, who loves a good eat, I love it. While big eaters will go for the oh-so tasty French fries loaded with cheese, while reasonable ones will order the raw veggies served with lemony and cardamom whipped cream.

Not feeling like eating a burger? Go for a gourmet salad. The Easy Green with its mangetouts, runner beans, broccolis and fresh goat’s cheese mousse. The Tenders Lovers with carrot-beetroots-cherry tomatoes-red radish and mesclun, the Avocado Rocket with quinoa-arugula-apple straws and herbs or the Fish & Chips.
