Reviews consistently highlight QDC Burger as a standout for flavorful burgers, creative toppings, and attentive service, with many diners calling it the best burger in Montreal and praising the hospitality of the staff and owner. The dining experience is described as welcoming and lively, though a few notes mention loud music, occasional service hiccups, and price or portion concerns; overall, guests are impressed by the high quality beef, house sauces, crispy fries, and the artisanal vibe, and many plan to return to try different burgers, including veggie and wagyu options.
really great place- burgers are outstanding. i got the lefty (impeccable) & my wife got the steak frites with the foie gras add on- it was amazing. Highly recommend. Also, the local IPA was very tasty
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.

Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce restaurant dans le Vieux-Port de Montréal… & quelle découverte! Anciennement le restaurant Queue de Cheval Steakhouse, l'endroit a conservé un charme unique & une qualité exceptionnelle.
Dès notre arrivée, le propriétaire - présent sur place - nous a accueillis avec une gentillesse remarquable. On sent immédiatement la passion & le soin derrière chaque détail.
Il nous a fait découvrir un vin absolument délicieux, parfaitement choisi pour accompagner notre repas. On regrette seulement une chose : ne pas avoir demandé le nom de ce vin tellement il était bon!
& que dire du burger de Wagyu… un vrai délice! La viande fondait littéralement dans la bouche. C'était si bon que j'ai mangé beaucoup trop vite!
Les frites étaient tout aussi incroyables : croustillantes, savoureuses, & servies avec une mayonnaise maison tellement bonne qu'on aurait voulu repartir avec un pot.
Une expérience culinaire mémorable, simple & parfaite. Un endroit qu'on recommande sans hésiter & où on a déjà hâte de retourner!
Me & 3 of my dudes on a wednesday drove from laval showed up at 10:30pm. We ordered the wagyu & steak burgers, the poutines & mac & cheese.
Let me say this…wow. Just wow. Exquisitely delicious. You know its delicious when eyes roll back at every bite.
Bonus : Interacting with the owner who is passionate even after being open for decades.
If you know food this is the place to visit. We had the 3 steak blend burger & it was an explosion of flavour. The fresh beef, the shiitake mushrooms. Every bite was a taste sensation. The fries were perfect & that rich Demi flavour of the gravy demonstrates the care put in what they do.
The owner is a true host & made our experience above & beyond. My only wish is that I could have this burger in Halifax! Finding places like this is why we love visiting Montreal!
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Tried QDC Burger & loved it! The steak frites was perfectly cooked, the Lefty Burger was flavoury packed, & the Steak Cut 3 Blend Burger was super juicy. Service was friendly, & the atmosphere was relaxed but lively-perfect for enjoying a great burger night. Definitely recommend for a place that delivers both quality & taste!
From out of town, walking into a city with many burger spots, QDC is where the heart of l'hambourgeois meets the soul of Montréal street culture.
Flat iron steak, bone marrow & the works.
Each burger is a testament to craftsmanship, featuring flame-grilled, steakhouse-quality with house-made sauces, freshly baked buns, toppings like blue cheese, truffle aioli, & even Wagyu. It's not just food-it's a statement.
The menu offers chef-created & customizable options, create your artisanal masterpiece. The flavors are bold, balanced, & indulgent in the best way possible.
Paired with crispy hand-cut fries or onion rings, & finished off with a milkshake

If you're looking for a two minute, McDonald's like, service, this isn't the place for you. These are homemade, artisanal burgers. Great atmosphere & personable staff. The ingredients & flavours are top. Highly recommend the Lefty, Steakhouse, or O-Terre burgers. You won't be disappointed!

Une explosion de saveurs, un délice, un régal...Que demander de mieux.....Dans une ambiance des plus agréables vous pouvez, deux délicieuses bouchées, voir le futur steak commandé se faire hacher menu menu devant vous......Allez y sans soucis c'est le paradis des papilles.....
The steakhouse Burger was absolutely unreal. If you want a truly unique & delicious gourmet burger I recommend you stop here. The poutine & Cesar was also very good!!
Much more than a gourmet burger shop. Here, in addition to various creative & delicious burgers, you can also have lobster roll, the best mac & cheese ever, steak or chicken.
Nous avons commandé pour la première fois ce soir dans ce restaurant. J'ai commandé un steak frite, la portion était assez petite, la cuisson était trop cuite, le goût de la sauce était assez intéressante. Les frites sont bonnes. Nous avons aussi commandé un burger surf & turf, à presque 30 $ pour ce burger avec seulement 2 crevettes, le prix est trop élevé &, en plus, ce met était trop épicé. Nous avons aussi commandé des rondelles d'oignon & elles étaient brulées & elles coutaient presque que 2 $ la rondelle. Nous avons aussi commandé un mac & cheeze. Le M&C éatit assez réussi mais à 17 $ c'est un peu trop cher.
