Les avis soulignent constamment QDC Burger comme une référence pour des burgers savoureux, des garnitures créatives et un service attentif, avec de nombreux clients qui le disent du meilleur burger de Montréal et qui louent l'hospitalité du personnel ainsi que celle du propriétaire. L'expérience est décrite comme accueillante et animée, bien que quelques notes évoquent une musique trop forte, des couacs de service occasionnels et des questions de prix ou de portions; dans l'ensemble, les convives sont impressionnés par la qualité de la viande, les sauces maison, les frites croustillantes et l'ambiance artisanale, et beaucoup envisagent de revenir pour goûter d'autres burgers, y compris des options végétariennes et wagyu.
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.
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.

Stopped in for lunch on the last day of our trip here. The burgers, French dip, & short rib poutine were all delicious. Service was quick & friendly. If you don't like it here: you can't fix stupid!
The hostess was really nice & accommodating. However, I couldn't be served in French by the guy at the counter, which was unfortunate. The food was good, but it didn't say on the menu that the mac & cheese is spicy, which I wish would've been disclosed to me, & that the classic poutine's sauce taste more like bbq sauce than gravy.
Was a great & quick food experience. The staff were amazing. Poutine was a large portion but didn't love it. Was still good. My buddy had a burger & loved it
SUPERB burger! Stopped in here on a cold February evening for some comfort food & that's exactly what I got. I sat at the large counter area & ordered a burger the waiter had recommended, short rib poutine, & a glass of wine. It was completely decadent & totally worth it! Everything was delicious to every last bite. I highly recommend!
Incredible food. We stopped here randomly, & it delivered & delighted. The burgers were fantastic. Patties made to order, served on a slightly toasted soft brioche bun. We got the Lefty which was cooked perfectly, juicy, & made me smile. The poutine was ridiculous, gave me a tear in the eye. Get me a bowl & a cot to take a nap after. The attention to detail on execution of each dish was like a fine dining establishment but grounded. But don't dare come here if you like your burgers cooked well done & drowned in ketchup, this is not for you!
Was looking for something really good for takeout for a special occasion to celebrate, but everything was closed & didn't have great reviews. I called before closing & I am so glad I made the choice & the owner (i think) was such a great man. He was so friendly, full of personality & offered amazing customer service him & the workers were so careful with my order. The food was absolutely amazing! That short rib poutine is so flavourful! Next time I would definitely sit in. Portions were great, quality was spot on, everything that was listed in my burger you tasted. Excellent place!
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.
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!!
A great location for gourmet burgers conveniently located right in front of old port & close to the place d'armes. High quality ingredient freshly cooked & served right on time. I took the Jefferson with poutine on the side which was tasty but smaller size than expected. Burger meat was cooked as requested & the sauce taste was amazing.

Came in on a Friday evening with my family, the staff was fantastic. The big guy behind the counter took care of us like long time customers. He came in & checked in on us many times throughout the evening & even offered some special plates for my toddler. Food was fantastic, crispy buns, perfectly cooked burgers, & a ton of fries/poutine. Highly recommend & was great for families.
We stumbled upon this place by accident & we were not disappointed! First things first, the service was beyond incredible. The staff took the time to ensure we were always happy & taken care of. They helped us choose our food & made recommendations. The entire visit was amn extraordinary experience thanks to the care & passion clearly displayed by the staff! It was so much more than just a place to eat! Then the food ... my goodness!! I had the panko breaded chicken patty & chose my own toppings (with help). Other members of my group had various burgers & every single one of them kept saying it was the best burger they have ever had! Plus.. the poutine is to die for! Highly recommend!!!
I had the most amazing lamb burger, my partner had the French dip, both were fabulous. Great menu! Definitely recommend lamb burger, French dip & poutine!The owner, Pete, is both accommodating & lots of fun. Top notch ingredients. This is definitely not just an average burger joint! Don't wait, go now!
