The word “home-made” is used for everything, including to describe a burger that came out of a box. So let us be precise: at Les Variétés, the burger is cooked on the premises, in the kitchen of a brasserie open since 1902 at 33 boulevard du Maréchal Foch, and it has a name because it has a recipe.
The Street Art Burger
Double two-hundred-gram patty, melting cheddar, seeded dark bread. It is a dish that holds together: the amount of meat is not for show, and the dark bread changes everything — it holds the sauce and the fat without falling apart along the way, which an overly soft brioche bun does not. It is one of the signature dishes on the menu, and its exact composition, like its price on the day, can be viewed online before you come.
A brasserie burger, not a fast-food counter
The difference is not in the talk but in the kitchen around it. Here, the burger sits alongside the chateaubriand, the tartare and the fish from Maison Savia, in Saumur: it is the same team, the same French meat, the same care over cooking. A burger cooked in a house that knows how to handle a cut of beef has little in common with a burger cooked in a house that does nothing else.
What else is on the plate
The menu remains that of a French brasserie: charcuterie, grilled meats, cheese specialities, fish depending on deliveries, vegetarian dishes and desserts prepared on the premises. So you can come as a group without the choice of burger dictating to the whole table — whoever wants grilled meat finds some, and whoever does not, does not have to.
Allergens are written down, dish by dish
Every dish on the online menu carries its list of allergens. For a burger, this is not trivial: cereals containing gluten in the bread, milk in the cheese, eggs and mustard in the sauces, sometimes sesame or nuts. This information can be read before ordering, calmly, rather than relying on someone’s memory in the middle of the rush.
At what time
Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 2 am, Saturdays from 10 am to 2 am, usually closed on Sundays. At weekday lunchtimes, the day’s lunch set menu goes with the lunch break; in the evening and at the weekend, the full menu takes over. Booking is not compulsory, but it is still useful at peak times and for a large table.
