I ordered through a DoorDash & I must say, this is one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Although this establishment is run by a lovely old couple & it's hidden from the spotlight, I recommend visiting it & trying it to help the business as it is not that busy & they've been around for a lot of years.

Just a mom & pop making the Best burger in Montreal. You dont go here for ambience. You go when you just want a good burger that tastes consistently great over the years. No fancy b.s. I recommend the bulgogi steak patty.

When I entered, I was taken aback. The place was quite small, the decor very simple & the menu written on a blackboard alongside a list of add ons & free toppings. The prices reflected the ambiance of the joint. Nothing exuberant. Very straightforward. There wasn’t a single person other than the couple working there.

The man took my order: Their Pick burger, the most basic burger you can get. I garnished it to my liking, got a fry. Ordered one for my roommate. Everything was prepared very quickly & he handed me my order in what seemed to be 5 minutes

When I got home & opened the paper bag he had given me, I was hit with a smell I haven’t smelt since childhood. This isn’t a McDonalds, thawed out, plastic looking fast food burger scent, or the nauseating smell of a ridiculously priced, over-the-top, heart attack causing, artery clogging burger you’d order from one of those ‘sit down’ burger joints in the city.

This is the type of burger you can only expect to see in movies. The smell, the packaging, the colours & the textures of this meal are everything you would think about when you crave a cheeseburger but it’s existence feeling as distant & unrealistic as a mirage in this world of culinary failures & deception. Well guys, search no further because this is where heaven meets earth.

Everything about this experience was perfect. Eating this burger single-handedly brought me back to the early 2000s. This is how cheeseburgers were meant to be enjoyed. This is the sweet spot between the fast-food experience & the love & soul of people who know what they’re doing in a kitchen. I wish I could relive the feeling of that first bite but the best I can do is recommend you go & experience this for yourself.
