PRIME Bar à Boeuf

5.0

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.

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 🙂

I ended up going to Prime two days in a row, so I feel like I got a pretty fair sense of the food. First day, I brought a guest & tried the fried chicken burger with coleslaw, & honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken itself was a thick, perfectly cooked piece of breast-juicy, tender, & well-seasoned. The coleslaw was decent & added a nice crunch. The regular burger, though, was exactly that: regular. Nothing memorable.

The prices are definitely on the higher end for a cafeteria-style setup. I get that the atmosphere is elevated, but still… it adds up quickly.

The biggest disappointment was the Caesar salad. Easily one of the worst I've had-no real Caesar flavour at all. Just some parmesan crisps thrown on top & that's it.

On day two, I tried the poutine with pulled beef. The cheese curd situation was honestly ridiculous-I could count how many were in the bowl. Maybe half a handful. The pulled beef had a nice texture but lacked flavour, & overall the dish felt incomplete.

Fries have a nice colour & occasional crisp, but for the most part they were limp & not enjoyable.

Overall: some hits, some misses, but definitely not consistent enough for me to be excited about going back.
