The image file that you've uploaded for the logo has a lot of vertical white space above and below the logo (as highlighted by the checkerboard below):

If you edit the image file to remove the space above and below the logo, this will reduce the padding in the header.

Very good point. I tried but it reduces the space on the Desktop + iPad view... but not on mobile view 😞 
Is there a CSS code to fix this ?

There's a Logo Width setting in Site Styles that is specific to Mobile: Branding. If you reduce this from 150px, even though the logo is quite tall (it appears square), this should reduce the height of the header.

There's only 16px of vertical padding outside the logo so this isn't having much of an effect.

Thank you, yes I've tried this before... It doesn't make much of a change. I guess it is just the shape of the logo? And won't be able to reduce the padding?

The padding isn't the issue - it's the space within the image. If you don't want to crop the image file, you could achieve the same effect by adding some negative margin like this:

.Mobile-bar-branding-logo {
  margin: -20px 0!important;
}
