Montrealers love their meat, and meat lovers enjoy nothing more than a thick juicy burger. Sometimes, we all want to feel a little fancy and enjoy the taste of quality meat with fresh gourmet ingredients. Here are our top picks for the best gourmet burgers in town.
It’s all in the name. Literally. Le Gourmet Burger is another build-your-own burger joint right by Concordia University. You get to choose your meat, with options such as beef, bison, salmon, chicken or a veggie patty. You also get to pick from a wide variety of toppings ranging from hummus to foie gras. The options are endless!
You’ll find some of the juiciest burgers at Hachoir in the Plateau. Unlike many gourmet burger joints in town, this place does not have a build-a-burger menu. They do, however, offer a wide array of burgers that you’ll love. If you can’t make up your mind, order the mini-burger trio — you can sample three of the chefs favourites — le Classique, le Jean-Guy and le Hachoir.
With a name like Méchant Boeuf, it should come as no surprise that this establishment serves some pretty mean burgers. Their beef burgers are made with AAA beef, and they are topped with the finest ingredients. They also serve a chicken burger and a veggie burger. This place is popular with the neighbourhood’s professional crowd, especially when happy hour comes around, so be sure to make a reservation.
The same people behind Queue de Cheval, a popular steakhouse in Montreal, brought us QDC Burger, a burger counter, closer to a food truck, behind the restaurant. While this may resemble a simple counter, the food is every bit as extravagant as in the posh steakhouse. You can order the chef’s burger, made with AAA beef, or create your own with scrumptious toppings such as truffles, lobster and steakhouse fried onions.
