A one-way trip from New York → Lille, non-stop. A burger chain born in the United States is setting up shop for the very first time in France, and it’s happening in the capital of Flanders.

Yes, Lille is definitely stepping up its game in the food scene.

An American dream that starts... in the North

Behind this exciting arrival is a pretty cool story: two brothers from the mining area who fall in love with a chef and his burgers in the United States. One thing leads to another, and they dive into the adventure over there, becoming franchisees... before deciding to bring the concept back to France. And rather than Paris or Lyon, their choice is crystal clear: Lille. A proud return to their roots. The K.O Burger chain is getting ready to open its very first restaurant in France, right in the heart of the Masséna neighborhood.

Burgers à l’américaine, Lille Style

The concept stays true to its New York roots, meaning: generous burgers, well-crafted recipes, and that classic US fast-food vibe. The Lille opening is likely to become a new spot to check out!

Located at 73 rue Masséna, just a stone's throw from bars and nightlife, this place already checks a lot of boxes:
👉 strategic location
👉 street vibe / hangout with friends
👉 post-night out option (we know the drill)

Get ready for some seriously indulgent burgers, all about that American comfort food, with recipes that get right to the point.
