Hamburgers made in France
As for the hamburgers, they are prepared upstream and then transported on the bus in waterproof boxes. They are then heated directly in the bus - in a microwave - in order to be served warm to customers. The menus range from 22 to 27 euros. A "Veggie Burger" menu with a vegetable steak is even offered.
On its website, "Bus Burger" boasts of offering "100% French" burgers. "We favor short lines," explains Christophe Charret, the creator of the concept.
Burgers are made with bread from a Hauts-de-Seine baker, pastry, Charolais meat and fresh vegetables purchased from small producers. "We postulate to have the Origin France guarantee label," continues Christophe Charret.
Other concepts aboard a bus

In particular, there is the "Bustronome": an imperial bus set up as a restaurant with a glass roof that offers gourmet trips - lunches, afternoon tea and dinners - for two and a half years in Paris. Faced with the success met, a concept in London will even be launched in September.
