If you're reading the mixed reviews & hesitating - let me settle it for you.

People complain about the price. $28 for a burger, fries, & a drink. Here's what they're missing: Peter is using USDA Prime & Canadian AAA beef, dry-aged richness, jumbo Cajun shrimp on the Surf & Turf, real Wagyu on the Wagyu burger, foie gras, black truffle, lobster - these are steakhouse-grade ingredients on a brioche bun. Go price out a steak dinner with these same ingredients anywhere in Old Montreal & come back to me about value. The Rico Opera alone eats like a fine dining experience compressed into a burger.

The fries are not an afterthought - they're some of the best in the city, served with a house garlic aioli you'll want to take home in a jar. The short rib poutine is decadent in the way poutine is supposed to be but almost never is. The French Dip might be the sleeper hit of the menu.

& then there's Peter. Some reviews call him intense. He is. He's a chef who cares deeply about how his food is meant to be eaten & isn't going to pretend otherwise to get a tip. If you walk in expecting a fast-food transaction, you'll be confused. If you walk in curious, ask him what to order, trust the recommendation, & pay attention to the plate in front of you - you'll get one of the best meals in Montreal & a real conversation with the guy who made it. That's not a flaw. That's the entire point.

This place was born out of Queue de Cheval, an institution of Montreal. The DNA is still there. You're not paying burger prices because it isn't a burger joint - it's a steakhouse that happens to put it between two buns.

Stop reading reviews. Just Go.

First time⏬ We were seated outside. Nice day so it worked out in our favor. The waiter was quick but helpful. I don't think she realized that we were new to place. You have to order inside & the server will bring your food. We each ordered a drink 2 Pink Sangria : recommended by the waiter. It was refreshing but the liquor was a little on the weak side. So this is for anyone who doesn't like a lot of alcohol in their drinks. 1 Jack & coke : 10/10 my sister couldn't stop talking about how good her drink was. She also raved about the ice cream so we went to all ice cream shops looking for it & no one has it. Food Poutine: 8/10 this was my first time trying this well known dish but it wasn't what we heard. It was fresh but the gravy was super thick. I didn't like that. The cheese curds were an okay size, not sure if it could've been cut down a little. I also think they should've fried the French fries a little harder before adding the gravy. I'm not sure about my suggestions because this was our first time trying the dish.

Had the lobster roll & a strawberry basil drink absolutely fabulous. The lobster roll was unexpected but incredibly tasty. Husband has a lefty burger with onion rings & loved it.

Drinks cher mais le prix des burgers est assez raisonnable considérant la qualité. Je recommande ! C'était délicieux, de loin le meilleur burger que j'ai mangé.
