Dumbo
Hamburger restaurant — Quartier Saint Georges (Paris)
About
Dumbo is an emblematic micro-shop in Pigalle specializing in smash burgers, an American concept that involves crushing meat on a hot griddle to achieve a caramelized crispy exterior while maintaining a juicy interior. Founded by Charles Ganem and Samuel Nataf, this minimalist establishment with no superfluous decoration offers a focused menu: classic burgers and cheeseburgers topped with aged Montbéliarde beef from butcher Huguenin, buttered and toasted potato buns, American cheese, house-made pickles, and signature sauce. The venue operates with an inox counter facing the open, steaming kitchen, creating an authentic and dynamic atmosphere. Dumbo won Le Fooding's Best Burger award in 2020, confirming its reputation among Paris's discerning food enthusiasts. Quick service with production limited to approximately 100 burgers daily.
