Paris is the city where there are the most fast food outlets, but as a percentage, the capital is one of those where there are the fewest. While in Cergy-Pontoise, one in five establishments offers fast food.
In which French city do you find the most fast food? First of all, it is necessary to define what is meant by this term. Hamburgerkebab, pizzas … “In common parlance, it is often wrongly used as a synonym for unhealthy food”, writes in a press release HelloFresh, a German meal kit distribution company, which has looked into the issue. .
“It is not always a burger found in the big capitals or even pizza, although the latter can also be part of it. Fish and chips, croque-monsieur and croque-madame, salads, wraps, sandwiches and the like are also fast food in the broadest sense of the word,” HelloFresh adds.
“At the end of the day, it is the time devoted to serving, preparing and tasting that defines fast food, although it has one final element: lower prices compared to traditional restaurants”, complete the business.
To define the share of fast food compared to all restaurants in 25 of the largest cities in France, HelloFresh used data from TripAdvisorYelp and OpenStreetMaps.
On this point, Cergy-Pontoise is the one that counts the most de fast-food. In this city in the north-west of Île-de-France, 18% of restaurants offer fast food, i.e. nearly one in five establishments. It is followed by Amiens in Picardy, which has 15.9% fast food, Nimes (14.2%) and Brest (13.4%). Paris finds itself at the bottom of the ranking with only 8.6% of fast food. No wonder: the capital is the city where the offer is the most important and the most varied.
Six times more restaurants in Paris than in Lyon
To arrive at this result, it was necessary to calculate the number of restaurants in each city. Unsurprisingly, Paris ranks first with 14,600 restaurants. The capital crushes all the major French cities, with nearly six times more establishments than in Lyon, yet second with 2,457 restaurants. Marseille comes third, followed by Toulouse and Bordeaux.
HelloFresh also looked at the number of restaurants owned by fast food chains well known. Large, denser cities top the ranking. Paris has more than 305 establishments, which corresponds to only 2.09% of the restaurants in the capital due to the large choice of restaurants.
In Lyon, there are 59 and in Marseille 48. Conversely, some cities such as Le Havre, Angers or Nîmes have almost none, with only 10 fast-food chain restaurants established.
