Although the French are famously proud of the their cuisine, Gira found that burgers are making inroads into traditional restaurants.
Gira’s director Bernard Boutboul said the firm found "seventy-five percent of traditional French restaurants offer at least one hamburger on their menu" and that a third of said burgers were beating out steak or fish dishes.
While fast food chains such as McDonald’s dominate the market, Gira found that restaurants accounted for a quarter of the 970 million burgers sold in the country last year.
