But on Monday US chain Five Guys joined the likes of McDonald's and Burger King in setting down roots in the French capital. If the arrival of Five Guys is anything like when Burger King made its long-awaited return to Paris, then burger lovers can expect long queues at the new store. Paris is saturated by other popular burger joints including Blend, Paris-New-York, Big Fernand, French Burgers and the likes of Le Camion qui Fume. In a city obsessed by burgers it’s perhaps surprising that the chain, which Barack Obama believes makes "the best burgers in the world", did not come to Paris earlier. Although the chain is competing with McDonald’s and Burger King it will attract a different kind of clientele, or at least the type of clientele who are prepared to spend a bit more on their burgers.
