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!

2025 theme: Bistromonic Burger

For this 10th anniversary, the burgers on offer will have to be dressed to the nines!

This very special edition will revolve around the theme of the bistronomic burger, and contestants will be expected to create an exceptional recipe in that spirit. Skill and creativity will also be part of the celebration, as they revisit the classic repertoire of bistro cuisine with a gourmet twist.

A theme perfectly in tune with the growing trend of gourmet burgers, widely embraced by French chefs.

President of the Jury – Tom MAYER

After a career marked by outstanding experiences in the world of gastronomy, he is now the head chef of a true culinary institution on the French Riviera: the two-Michelin-starred La Chèvre d’Or.

"This year is a truly special edition, and I’m expecting some great surprises. The finalists of the Coupe de France du Burger will have to stand out with generosity, flavor, and authenticity around the Bistronomic theme. A recipe that tells a story is key. I’ll be paying close attention to the doneness and juiciness of the beef, the quality of the bun, and the sourcing of French, seasonal ingredients." – Tom Mayer

2025 Winners
