I would thoroughly recommend Big Fernand food, as they take the quality of twhat they serve seriously. The licorice gave it an unusual edge without being overly present, making it a nice change to conventional soft drinks. The house fries were perfect too, and the lemonade was an unexpected hit, even with the anti-licorice among us. Mine was good, but it tasted bland in comparison to the other two, which were both delicious and I was a little jealous after trying them. They were all really good, though after a cheeky taste of my friends, I will say that the Big Fernand is so named after the chain because it is the tastiest, at least out of the three we sampled. I decided to sample their specialty lemonade with apple and licorice flavours. I chose L’Alphonse (lamb, Tomme cheese, grilled aubergine, and house tomato sauce, €13).įor an extra €3 you can have the set price deal which includes drinks (beer incurs a surplus charge) and house chips/fries. My friends ordered the Le Big Fernand (beef, Tomme cheese, dried tomatoes and a house cocktail sauce, €11) and Le Bartholome (beef, Raclette cheese, smoked bacon, onion confit and a mix of cocktail and BBQ sauce, €12). You can choose between a customised build it yourself burger, or one of their many named ones.

The plus side to this is whilst you are waiting for your food you are able to see it being prepared right in front of you. Introducing our brand new lamb burger made from 100 finest quality New Zealand meat. Thankfully we opted to sit outside so we were sheltered slightly from the unnecessary shouting of orders to the kitchen, which is right next to the till and the tables where you will eat at if you choose to sit inside. But some of their ways included arrogance, shouting and arguing among themselves.

Or sacrifice a friend and make them go in and face the full force of some of the worst service ever. I can’t itemise every way in which the waiters managed to make acquiring our meal an experience that was more pain than pleasure – it made me wish I had taken the Deliveroo option, which removes any need to interact with them for a mere €2.50. They make their bread and fries especially quality and taste are very important factors here at Big Fernand.Īll that makes it more than worth a visit – except if you have a low tolerance for frustratingly annoying waiting staff (which I do).

The decor is nothing fancy, and you must order and collect your food yourself from the bar, but at €16 a meal all in (consider that a burger at a normal bistro of substandard quality is likely to set you back €11), you can hardly go wrong. Situated in the 9th, 2nd and 1st arrondissements (with an additional branch out at LaDefense), these little burger joints offer a simple concept. Big Fernand is a burger chain that has taken Paris by storm, and quite rightly so because the food is fantastic.
