QDC Burger is frequently praised for its high-quality, steakhouse-grade ingredients and unique menu options, with many patrons describing the burgers and fries as among the best they have ever experienced. While many visitors highlight the welcoming, passionate service and the vibrant, lively atmosphere, opinions on the restaurant are notably mixed. Some guests appreciate the owner's intense dedication and personality, while others express discomfort with the loud music or reported unprofessional interactions between management and staff. Experiences regarding price and value vary significantly, as some diners find the premium cost justified by the quality of the meat, while others feel disappointed by specific service issues or perceived inconsistencies in food preparation.
The fries were completely covered in salt & were far too salty for us to eat. Fortunately, the waitress removed the fries from our bill, which we appreciated.
We ordered two Cokes & asked for ice. We didn't expect to receive four glasses of ice, but the waitress brought them to us. We also requested a couple of plates so we could share our food.
However, we were later charged for the two sharing plates & the four glasses of ice. We believe the staff should have informed us in advance that there would be extra charges for the plates & ice so we could have decided whether we still wanted them.
Hands down the best burger I have ever eaten. The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy, & full of flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh, & everything was well balanced without being overly greasy. The bun was soft, the toppings complemented the meat perfectly, & every bite was excellent. The service was friendly, & the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an outstanding burger.
Best Burger in Montreal🤩
We also ordered the short rib poutine & it was delicious!
Is it a little pricey?
Yes….but so worth it😜
The burger meat is fresh & grilled to perfection, so juicy, tasty & huge!
My hubby & I shared the 1/2 lbs cheeseburger with pork-belly bacon(delicious!) caramelized onions, with a short rib poutin, plenty of cheese curds & short-rib meat that melts-in-your-mouth! The Fries are the best we ever had!
This poutin is huge! perfect for 2 to share!
The service was also amazing! Thank you Dimitra for your wonderful service! Your kindness, great sense of humour & positive energy made our dining experience so enjoyable!
Everything was perfect🤩

Delicious burgers, very flavorful & juicy meat. You can go for the classic one & still get great quality.
The service was excellent. We loved the warmth & kindness of the waitress. The service was fast, polite, & friendly. If you feel like eating something delicious in the Old Port, this is an excellent optio
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.
Excellent burgers, great service. Chef, very friendly & helpful. More than happy to discuss veggie burger ideas with my daughter.
Definitely going back.
Great menu & wonderful food. The server we had, though, was a thin-skinned fusspot who made it abundantly clear he was the most important person in the establishment & mattered far more than customers.'The music is a bit loud, could you maybe turn it down a bit?' (in an otherwise empty restaurant).'No' (with a smug smile). We found a corner that was outside the trajectory of the pulsating speakers & yelped our order at him over the din.'Could the aioli be in a side dish instead of dollopped on top of the fries?' (After considerable thought)'Yes, I will allow that!'. Welcome to kindergarten! Watching him flutter around was an amusing floorshow, & when the food arrived, we had good reason to ignore him. Delicious, in a great location. To bad the experience wasn't as elevated as the food.
The best burger you can find in Montreal is here! Everything is perfect & absolutely delicious. The ambience is very clean & welcoming. The owner, Peter, who is from Greece, is very friendly & checked on us three times to make sure everything was good. He is truly hospitable. Wishing the best for this restaurant ✌?
A gourmet burger to have a glass of wine with. Good flavours. Fries seemed like they were fried yesterday in bulk, then reheated to serve? That's one way I guess. Personally, I like my fries freshly fried ... & PEI potatoes not the QC sweet type, but that's just personal taste. Belle Province fries reheated in a toaster oven are also pretty good, & that's what these were like. The punchy music & owner's faintly insincere host-with-the-most schtick ... some will love, & others find a bit much. Then with tax & tip, it's nearly $60 for one person, which is a lot. As others have noted, Five Guys is minutes away, less herbs & wine admittedly, but much better fries (IMHO), & great burgers, for 30% less. QDC Burger is worth trying once for sure, if you can afford it. You may love it! It's definitely distinctive & not for everyone. I'll probably go back when I can.
