Mini burgers for a company after-work event or cocktail reception: where to find them in Paris and how many to plan
Mini burgers at a company after-work event or cocktail reception: the award-winning Paris burgers of 2026, what makes a good mini burger, how many to plan per person and the budget for 10, 20 or 50 people.
For a company after-work event or cocktail reception, allow 1 mini burger per person, among 5 to 11 other savoury pieces: that is what L'Écrin Traiteur serves in its three cocktail reception packages. A mini burger is eaten in two bites, standing up, and appeals to all ages. For a restaurant burger, the 2026 Paris benchmarks are Spécimen, Dumbo and Clover Grill. For 20 people, our L'Invitation reception, mini cheeseburger included, costs €627 excl. VAT delivered.
Where to find the best mini burgers for a company event in Paris?
1. L'Écrin Traiteur's mini burgers
Transparency: this is our product, so our opinion is not neutral. We deliver mini burgers in two ways:
- In a cocktail reception: the mini cheeseburger is part of L'Invitation (8 pieces, €29.90 excl. VAT per person), La Réception (12 pieces, €40.90 excl. VAT) and La Célébration (16 pieces, €51.90 excl. VAT). Each guest gets one.
- As a sharing tray: the Mini Burgers tray combines two recipes, cheeseburger and chicken crispy. Price on quote, depending on numbers.
Our mini burgers are halal and pork-free, like our entire savoury menu, at no extra cost; we do not claim a halal certification. A cocktail reception can therefore bring the whole team together with no "separate" pieces.
2. Spécimen, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés
On 28 May 2026, Time Out ranked Spécimen's smash burger the world's 6th best burger, out of 14 chosen by its editors. The World's 101 Best Burger Places 2026 ranking puts it 40th, with two addresses in Paris.
3. Dumbo, four addresses in Paris
Dumbo is the highest-ranked Paris burger on the World's 101 Best Burger Places 2026 list, in 26th place, published in June 2026.
4. Clover Grill, in the 1st arrondissement
At 6 rue Bailleul (1st arrondissement), Clover Grill is 60th in the same 2026 ranking.
These restaurants serve plated burgers, not delivered mini burgers: they are mentioned here as taste benchmarks. None of them is cited for a halal offer; check with them directly.
How to recognise a good cocktail mini burger?
| Criterion | What to look for |
|---|---|
| The size | Two bites at most. Any bigger and you need a plate, and hands get messy. |
| The bread | A soft brioche bun that holds the filling without going soggy during service. |
| The sauce | Measured precisely: a dripping mini burger has no place at a standing reception. |
| How it holds | A pick or a tight build, so it does not fall apart when picked up. |
| The meat | Stated origin; halal and pork-free if the team is mixed, so you do not need two versions. |
How many mini burgers to plan and what budget for 10, 20 or 50 people?
In our cocktail receptions, each guest gets one piece of each savoury recipe: 1 mini burger per person, whether the package has 6, 9 or 12 savoury pieces. That is the rule to keep: the mini burger is a highlight piece, not the only dish. The table works out the budget with L'Invitation (8 pieces, including the mini cheeseburger, €29.90 excl. VAT per person) and delivery at €29 excl. VAT.
| People | Mini burgers | L'Invitation reception | Total excl. VAT, delivery included |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 10 | 10 × 29.90 = €299 | €299 + €29 = €328 |
| 20 | 20 | 20 × 29.90 = €598 | €598 + €29 = €627 |
| 50 | 50 | 50 × 29.90 = €1,495 | €1,495 + €29 = €1,524 |
For 50 people, order 48 hours in advance. For a longer reception, La Réception (12 pieces) comes to €818 excl. VAT for 20 people, excluding delivery. The Mini Burgers tray on its own is priced on quote. Other pieces to pair with it are in canapé ideas, quantities in how many canapés per person, and alcohol-free drinks in alcohol-free company cocktail reception.
