Located on Bishop, adjacent to Concordia University this small joint perhaps serves some of the best burgers in downtown Montreal. The thick beef burger patty is packed with flavour, taste and most importantly, it’s also juicy – “juicy” might usually be a tacky adjective to describe a beef patty, but perhaps necessary in this case to emphasize the fact that many other burger joints in this city have failed to achieve this feat and their patties are just too dry – making the burger a little too chewy. To my pleasant surprise, Le Gourmet Burger avoided to make this. There’s a choice of 5 burgers: chicken, beef, bison,veg and chilli. I’ve tried the beef and bison and both were well made, but beef is usually my personal choice when it comes to burgers. All burgers come with complementary toppings of lettuce, tomatoes and caramelized onions. However, there is an additional charge for cheese ( a large variety of fresh cheese is offered) and there is a wide variety of paid toppings ranging from simple Guacomela, bacon, fried egg - all the way to some “fancy” fois gras! There is also a choice of many different types of sauces such as chipotle, wasabi and the LGB house sauce just to name a few.
Along side the burgers they serve regular fries, sweet potato fries or a mix of both neatly presented in a trendy cone shaped metal holder which definitely gives a contemporary touch. They also serve coke and sprite in old fashioned glass bottles which I personally like a lot (since it tastes better) and they also serve a wide variety of less obvious drinks such as cherry coke and homemade lemonade and iced tea.
All in all, this is great place to try if you want to treat yourself to a well made burger served in a relatively more contemporary setting which is not over priced (under $10 for a burger including some additional toppings). They also have a special promotion offering a trio (burger, drink and fries) for $11 - making it a very attractive offering compared to its competitors.
