This month, the cult-favourite Dumbo is opening its fifth location – and its first outside of France – right in the heart of Shoreditch. Paris-born burger phenomenon Dumbo is the brand that helped kickstart the smashburger craze in Europe, and now it's ready to take on the streets of East London.

Dumbo is bringing its signature style to the UK capital – expect the same flat, crispy-edged patties, served with crisp golden fries, more-ish chicken nuggets, and a menu that keeps things simple but delicious. The beef is sourced from London's own HG Walter, known for its commitment to quality and responsible sourcing. The Shoreditch location will lean into the brand's now-iconic minimalism: industrial and stylish, letting the food do all the talking.

“Our philosophy has always been simple: great ingredients, no fuss, and food that brings people together,” says Dumbo co-founder Charles Ganem. “We're excited to join the London food scene, especially at a time when smashburgers are experiencing such incredible momentum in the city.”
