Quality vegetarian, vegan and meat burgers at Goiko Oberkampf - permanently closed

Set up two years ago in Oberkampf and Grands Boulevards, Goiko, Spain's burger benchmark, has already proved its worth, winning the Best Burger of Paris 2021 award at the end of Paris Burger Week.

With its colorful ambience, the Oberkampf address follows in the footsteps of its Grands Boulevards counterpart, and its brick, wood and concrete decor, with bags of fresh potatoes strewn here and there and plump banquettes, invites large groups of friends to have a good time.

On the strength of last year's award, Goiko isn't resting on its laurels, however, and this spring is bringing out no fewer than 6 new burger recipes to join the company's classic recipes. Alongside the now-ubiquitous Kevin Bacon and Kevin Costner, there are now 3 new meat burgers and 3 new vegetarian burgers, two of which are vegan, to satisfy all appetites and diets.

As usual, Goiko's burgers are prepared with products sourced as locally as possible; and in vegan and vegetarian burgers, steak is replaced by Beyond Meat veggie steak, a meat dupe appreciated by connoisseurs, or by veggie chicken.

Discover, for example, the Edamamita, with a base of edamame, broccoli, couscous and rice, vegan cheese, fried eggplant, caramelized onions, tomatoes, batavia lettuce and vegan grain bread; or the Chick-tarienne, with vegan breaded chicken, vegan cheese, grilled peppers, onions a la plancha, batavia lettuce and vegan grain bread. As you can see, there's no question of giving up on flavors here.

For our part, feeling rathercarnivorous that day, we opted for Goiko's other new offerings, just as generous as usual. Firstly, the smash burger (€14.90), now a classic in Parisian burger spots. Very generous in melted cheese and meat - two 100g steaks smashed to perfection - Goiko's smash convinced us.

The Madrid burger (15.40€) is also a very naughty, if more traditional, tribute to Goiko's origins, with its caramelized tomatoes, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, pickles and quality ground beef. Pair with Boom Balls (8.40€), addictive little balls of fried gouda and jalapenos!
