First time to Montreal & this was the first place we went to eat once we checked in . The caesar salad was the best I have ever tasted & I mean best. The smash burgers were delicious flavourful & juicy. The poutine definitely didn't disappoint . Worth every dollar. Thank you Montreal
I'm not exaggerating when I say it's when of the best burgers (Leonard Cohen - wagyu) I've ever had. The perfectly cooked beef alone carries it flavor wise, but a generous slab of cheese, an over-easy egg, & some arugula combined to enhance the finished product. I had leafy greens but you can order poutine as the side. The best thing about them is the extensive menu options: standard, smash, bison, & wagyu, all with interesting & premium topping options. The dining space is pleasant too & the staff was attentive (though not busy while I was there). Easy recommended for a gourmet burger experience.
Excellent place to have GOOD burgers. I asked for the doble patty with poutine, instead of French fries aside. Delicious. & a Sangria to drink. Nice place to have lunch or dinner. Excellent service. I recommend it a lot. Not expensive either.

EDIT AT THE BOTTOM BECAUSE OF THE OWNERS RESPONSE.
Normally I'm not someone to write reviews but my experience here was so bad it ended up partially ruining my monthly date night with my boyfriend, Wednesday the 27th March around 7-9 Pm.
While the food was mediocre, & there was many loud clanking noises from behind the bar, & the spacing of the tables was very cramped- my biggest issue was with the service received from our server Xena(I believe that was her name).
To start things off my boyfriend ordered a Buffalo Mac & cheese while I ordered a Buffalo Mac & cheese requesting the buffalo sauce be swapped for pesto, the fried cheese curds, & two milkshakes. We each took our turns ordering & there should have been no confusion with the order.
The waitress returns to our table with our cheese curds & let's us know that she made mistake & Input the wrong item so the kitchen had instead prepared a Buffalo poutine with my pesto modification & asks if we'd like it free of charge. Seeing as it was just a small mistake at the time, we accepted & agreed to wait until the rest of our food was made (pesto on Buffalo poutine was not the most palatable, but mistakes happen).
Fast forward a bit, & she arrives with one Mac & cheese & states it's the buffalo mac. We're missing one macaroni dish & just assume it's been delayed because of the poutine mishap. So we wait, & we wait, & we wait until she comes to check up on us & I ask her how long the second macaroni & cheese is going to be. Turns out she misunderstood our order & thought there was only one that we would share, even though my boyfriend & I were pretty clear.
We also ask when we will get our shakes, & she says they should be out soon. At this point it's been 40+ minutes since we initially ordered everything, two milkshakes do not take 40+ minutes on a relatively non busy night & arrive after everything else- & I'm convinced she forgot to input that as well. She also cleared away the poutine plate & took my boyfriend's fork with it.
We get our milkshakes not long after, & as the first Mac & cheese goes cold & dies we wait for my pasta. We get the pasta eventually & my boyfriend has to ask for another fork.
Another fork that she says she'll bring & then walks away, & surprise she never brings it. We watch her wander around right after saying she'll be right back with it too. We eventually ask another waiter & he immediately brings one in under 20 seconds.
We finished eating, but since on of our food has since gone cold. The night sort of feels ruined, our appetite is gone so we ask for our stuff to go & leave after paying.
I understand mistakes happen, the issue that it was one mistake after another in order & ultimately ruined our experience, which is ultimately a shame as my boyfriend has been here before & had not encountered these issues so I suppose it was just our luck with the server.
Edit/Response to the Owner:
I see the owner has responded to this review, & respectfully, if you have difficulty understanding something as simple as'Can I replace this sauce for this other sauce' after your customers take turns ordering, perhaps you should not be in food service.
I'm sure most other people have the ability comprehend'can I have x instead of y'. I also am sure that most people also understand that when one person says'I'll have this item' & the next person says'I will actually have one of those too' it means they EACH want one.'I know I can't understand what you ordered' goes crazy. It's actually kind of funny because it not only makes me doubt your customer service skills, but also your intelligence. But I digress, not everyone is capable of basic comprehension & I suppose I should be more tolerant of the mentally ungifted.
Additionally, trust me, Olivia Rodrigo playing did not make your place busy lol. I have eyes.
'Jokes' aside, what a sneaky little way of offloading responsibility onto the customer instead of taking accountability for what was simply just bad service.
Bonne adresse. Nous étions 10, ils nous ont accueilli sans réservation. Petit bémol, nous avons été placé sur deux tables & une commande d'une table boisson à été oubliée... Si non belle gamme de burger, de poutine & de bières québécoise 🍻 très belle vue sur la fresque géante
I tried the Firesomething burger it was tasty but kinda sloppy (2nd photo). My husband's looked way better & was put together nicer. Fries were crispy & the staff was friendly. It cost $27, which is fine, but honestly... I was still hungry after. Also, don't bother upgrading your side to poutine or anything else it's like $5 extra & really not worth it. Decent spot, but not amazing.
