Ma Mère en Feu

Open until 9 pm

Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie

Casse-Croute (Snack Bar)Comfort Food International

Review Summary

Ma Mère en Feu is described as an unconventional, elevated burger spot tucked inside a record store cafe. Burgers are praised for balance and juicy beef with a smoky note, aided by a generous house sauce that coats the buns. Pickles are claimed to be house made and the brioche bun is toasted to perfection. Sides include a mustard seed and mint coleslaw that adds bright acidity and potato cakes that can be a bit dry. A well curated selection of craft beer, cider, and wine complements the meals. The vibe offers a Montreal edge with vinyl records and a casual, friendly service that makes solo diners feel at home. It is seen as a hidden gem and could be a great date spot for music lovers, and the chicken sandwich is also highlighted as excellent.View restaurant profile
