A&W Canada's new Spicy Dill Pickle Burger promises a zesty bite, but we've got a pickle to pick with its toppings. The restaurant launched the brand new menu item on August 21 and pickle lovers are expected to really love this one. But while A&W makes a solid poutine, it seems their burger game could use a bit of an upgrade, especially when it comes to the new release.
Montreal's burger scene is vast and diverse, with restaurants serving up juicy patties and creative toppings that have turned the dish into a canvas for culinary creativity. You can get the ultimate comfort food topped with crispy bacon and melted cheddar or a little less conventional topped with a mini-poutine or pickled papaya or with grilled cheese sandwiches replacing the bun. Even high-end eateries can't resist featuring them on their menus.
Montreal's burger game is decent, solid even especially when you're looking to satisfy your late-night bite craving with a fat and juicy burger. Five Guys, La Belle Province and Notre-Boeuf-de-Grâce are a few classic faves for when you're feeling a little naughty, but it's worth adding a new resto on the block to your list: Billy K's.
Le Burger Week 2022 definitely beefed things up across the 514 over the last two weeks with over 70 participating restaurants showcasing their juiciest burger creations. With a number of limited edition burgers and an added focus on plant-based options this year, one Montreal spot stood out the most. The winning spot? Chez Simon Cantine Urbaine and its Le Classique Urbaine was a clear crowd pleaser.
Le Burger Week is back in Montreal on September 1 and beefing up its selection of ground round from local restaurants. For two weeks, you can work your way through a list of over 70 participating restaurants to taste the city's juiciest patties and sample some of its wackiest burger creations.
