Hands down, this is the best burger joint in Montreal and due to its general awesomeness and very affordable pricing, achieves an unprecedented A+. From the retro art nostalgic décor that’s homey and not overdone, to the auntie-like francophone server, straight to the awesome, best burger I’ve ever had. Perfect sized savory poppy seed bun, mozzarella holding the pickles, mushrooms, bacon, lettuce, and tomato like glue, spicy mustard, and juicy well done patty. Usually I like my burgers done medium…but they didn’t even ask and more than pulled off well done. Chunky fries are hot and just the right shade of brown; “sauce” is the poutine gravy on the side, and “creme aux herbes” is sour cream with fresh herbes. We had no room for the famed milk shake dessert, though the tarte aux sucre was phenomenal – warm, sandy yet molten goodness on the inside cradled in a thick crust. No reservations; get there early or you won’t get a table. Doodle on your paper placemat with crayons while you wait.
