If you are a burger lover and you had the opportunity to go to the United States, then you probably heard about or even tasted Umami Burger sandwiches. Well, good news: after New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, the concept is now exporting across the Atlantic to open its first European address... in Paris.
Let's meet at the Pullman Hotel Paris Montparnasse to discover this new address that should intrigue burger lovers. Straight from California, this restaurant intends to introduce gourmets toUmami, a Japanese expression that corresponds to one of the five flavors with sweetness, saltiness, bitterness and acidity. To explain it more roughly, it is simply the description of a delicious taste.
On the menu, we find the Umami version of the classic burger with salad, caramelized onions, cheddar and pickles, ideal for purists, but also more audacious recipes like the Rossini Cheese Burger with its matured beef steak, its pan-fried foie gras, its black truffle aioli sauce, its aged mimolette and its fried onions. This last one was our favorite: the pronounced taste of the saturated meat and the foie gras blend perfectly for a recipe that turns out to be less heavy than it seems, leaving a real gustatory pleasure.
The side dish is 50 shades of fries: Cajun or truffle version, chili fries or sweet potato fries, you'll have to make a choice. We also recommend you not to miss the Umami tenders, crispy on the outside but terribly melting on the inside.
We also love the weekend combos, perfect for families with generous proposals. Be careful not to have your eyes bigger than your stomach! Bonus for milkshake lovers, three recipes to discover: Banana-Matcha, Peanut butter-caramel or chocolate-marshmallow.
