French Burger Cup by Socopa

Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd April / Burger Stage

A savoury competition!

For its 10th edition in 2025, the French Burger Cup will celebrate a decade of contests, technical mastery and gourmet pleasure with an exceptional programme. It’s ideal for inspiring competitors in the running and delighting connoisseurs in the jury and visitors to the trade show. An anniversary often means surprises... New this year, the trade show will play host to not one but two days of contest:

On 2 April, we’ll be hosting the 5 regional finals, followed by the national grand finale of the French Burger Cup.

On 3 April, two new contests will take place: the Young Talents Final, reserved for catering school students, and the Battle of the Champions, during which the 10 winners will battle it out, including the 2025 French Champion!

2024 winners

2024 theme: Beef Spirit

It's an opportunity for the candidates to showcase beef, at the heart of an exceptional burger. The selection of the meat, the quality of its seasoning, the perfect control of its cooking, the choice of other ingredients...

Nothing is left to chance! Everything is done to magnify the taste of beef, the pleasure of beef, the spirit of beef.

President of the jury - Laëtitia VISSE

After perfecting her apprenticeship with some of the great names in gastronomy, she met Thomas Brachet at Les Arlots, where she discovered the joys of home-made sausages, caillettes and other cochonnailles.

Determined to bring the butchery and charcuterie traditions of French cuisine up to date, Laëtitia opened her own restaurant in Marseille in the summer of 2020: La femme du boucher.
