Prime Bar à Boeuf at Royalmount in Montreal draws praise for a smash burger cooked to perfection with a juicy patty and a mouthwatering brioche bun, complemented by sauces that elevate the bite; the poutine is a frequent highlight for its rich gravy and cheese curds, sometimes with tender pulled beef, while fries are hit or miss depending on the dish. The chicken sandwich and Caesar salad are well regarded for seasoning and freshness, though the salad can disappoint on occasion. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive in the food court setting, with staff explaining options and going the extra mile. Prices skew higher for a counter service, but many feel the quality justifies it, with several reviewers calling it among the best burgers in Montreal and a standout in the Royalmount area. Overall the menu emphasizes high quality ingredients and solid execution, making it a popular choice for lunch or dinner despite some inconsistency with fries and salads.
Ridiculously expensive oily & greasy burgers. I was told about this spot by someone who thought it was worth a try. Located in a mall in Montreal we ordered 2 smash burgers, 1 roast beef sandwich & 2 soft drinks for $95.43. CRAZY! The burgers & their accompanying buns were soaked wth grease & flat as a pancake. I could not eat more than one bite. The roast beef was a lot better & less greasy but it didn't taste any better than an Arby's roast beef sandwich for a fraction of the price. The seating is similar to a food court in any mall. Crowded & noisy. The roast beef sandwich was the only reason for 2 stars.
The smash burger at Prime Bar à Boeuf in Royalmount, Montreal is cooked to perfection, with the potato brioche bun also hitting the mark. The lettuce still feels unnecessary, but the burger itself is juicy & flavorful.
The fries have been hit or miss in our experience, but they truly shine in a poutine. The last time we visited, the poutine was excellent. The sauce is rich & tasty, the cheese is just right, & the aioli on the side is a nice touch.
The service at this food court counter was excellent. Our server was friendly, professional, & engaging without being overbearing. He even took the time to speak kindly with my child, which was really appreciated.
Of course, it's still a food court, so you carry your own tray & find your own table. But for what it is, Prime Bar à Boeuf delivers a satisfying burger experience & attentive service that goes above what you might expect from counter service.

These guys know how to make a burger! I ordered the Steakhouse Burger with cheese & bacon. It's on the pricey side, but worth every dollar. They use a mouthwatering brioche bun, the meat is cooked to perfection, & it's all flavor. You'll walk away very happy with your choice.
Poutine was absolutely perfect. Every element from the crispy fries to the rich gravy, the fresh cheese curds, & the incredibly tender short ribs was outstanding & clearly made with high?l quality ingredients. Everything came together beautifully. Thank you for such an amazing dish 🙂

This has to be the best burger I have had in a long time. The temperature was spot on, their sauce was magnificent, & the fries were a perfect side. It was my first visit, so the staff took the time to explain the various options & guided me perfectly. A must-try, if you're in the area. Actually, it's even worth a detour!
I ordered a bacon cheese steakhouse burger with fries & a Pepsi , it cost me 40.24$. The fries were soggy & soaked with oil & the burger was salty tasting.
A huge disappointment.
Best quality burgers & food in the city hands down. Thank you Zee for always taking care of me with a smile & Lenny always delivering quality food!! The best in Royalmount
Excellent ! Perfect blend of relaxed luxury - comfortable atmosphere with an even better menu. Owner Lenny Lighter truly puts his heart & soul into every dish & it shows !
I just looooove this place!! The food is tasty; you pay for quality. Hands down one of the best burger i had; it was juicy, the bun was crispy on the outside & soft on the inside & their sauce is simply delicious. The chicken sandwich is very well seasoned & very juicy while still being crispy, & the caesar salad is a big portion & you can taste that it is homemade sauce with fresh lettuce. I feel like all their ingredients are quality, especially the meats.
The staff is great, always smiling & i never had any mistakes made with my order.
