Burger De Ville
59, avenue Westminster Nord
About
Burger de Ville's gourmet hamburgers have turned this well-kept Montreal-West secret into a bustling favorite eatery. It has gotten so popular there's now a second Burger de Ville in trendy Mile End. If you don't want to be there the moment they open the door for business, expect a brisk line-up as you wait to place your order, then they hand you a number, and you find a table. That's the way they do it in this pleasant and cleanly run burger joint. And these are gourmet burgers—many say these are the best in the city. A standard burger (Triple A beef, char broiled, cooked-to-order, and served open faced) is $4.50, and aside from cheese ($0.50) and bacon ($0.50) all the other toppings are free including caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms. Fountain drinks are bottomless. Now for the real insiders scoop: While it's known for gourmet patties, Burger de Ville also serves one of the best steaks in town. With a quality and size (16 oz) that defies its price ($14.99) and charbroiled to perfection, Burger de Ville's steaks can easily match the city's top steakhouses—and at half the price.
