Dumbo Shoreditch: Paris' Cult Smashburger Arrives in London

After conquering Paris with four successful locations, Dumbo has crossed the Channel to bring its celebrated smashburgers to London's Shoreditch. Founded in 2019 by Charles Ganem and Samuel Nataf, this minimalist burger joint has built a devoted following for its stripped-back approach to quality fast food.

The Dumbo Philosophy

Dumbo's ethos is refreshingly simple: exceptional ingredients with zero fuss. Their focused menu features just four items - cheeseburgers, veggie burgers, french fries, and chicken nuggets - each executed with precision. For their London outpost, they've partnered with respected butcher HG Walter to supply their beef, maintaining their commitment to quality sourcing.

Signature Style

What sets Dumbo apart is their distinctive cooking technique, creating burgers with the perfect balance of crispy exterior and juicy interior. The potato brioche buns, American cheese, onions and pickles complete the classic combination that has earned them rave reviews, with customers describing them as "the best burger ever" and advising others to "believe the hype."

Minimalist Aesthetic

True to its Parisian roots, Dumbo Shoreditch embraces understated design that lets the food take center stage. The functional, no-frills space complements their straightforward menu philosophy - everything essential, nothing extraneous.

Whether you're a dedicated burger aficionado or simply curious about the French interpretation of this American classic, Dumbo offers a distinctive take on the smashburger trend that has taken London by storm.
