Guys, cheeseburgers are life. I know some people aren't into adding a slice of pure heaven onto their hamburgers, but to them I say: why? And also... why?
For the rest of us, there are tons of awesome restaurants in Montreal that serve delicious cheeseburgers - but a handful truly stand out from the bunch.Â
Except, of course, a juicy, cheesey, delicious hamburger... piled high with some seriously awesome ingredients. Montreal has tons of spots that serve up gourmet hamburgers; but a select few truly stand out from the bunch.
Which is why tartare is basically one of my favourite dishes, ever. We're super lucky to be in Montreal, where there are tons of great places to nosh on tartare. But a select few do stand out from the bunch.
This Plateau restaurant is known for many things: steaks, cocktails, and, of course, tartare. Although all their dishes are delicious, they've got a special skill for making some of the most delicious tartares you'll ever try.
Tartare, carpaccio, tataki, and gravlax lovers, rejoice. Bistro Lustucru specializes in some seriously ace raw dishes, but their tartare selections (like bison, honey beef, and coriander salmon tartare) and tastes are absolutely out of this world.
Located in Montreal's Plateau, this restaurant is known for serving up some seriously delicious French dishes. Their steak tartare is particular popular, and for good reason: one bite, and you'll be dreaming about it for days.
Synonymous with "awesome tartare spot" in Montreal, Marche 27 is pretty much a paradise for tartare lovers. Bonus points: they've got tons of protein selections (from scallop to veal and anything in between), so if you're down to try something a bit more unique, you know where to go.
An awesome restaurant in Old Montreal serving up French cuisine, Holder is known for their seriously on point dishes. Their salmon and beef tartares are no different; trust, they'll make you weep real tears of foodie joy.
This Griffintown spot just might be what every food lover's dreams are made of. The food is always fresh and tasty, and their tartares? Out of this world. Although they have a very solid selection, their miso duck tartare in particular is a huge hit.
Specializing in seafood, it's really no wonder that Rosemont's La Betise makes a salmon tartare that might just ruin you for all other tartares. Fresh and incredibly flavourful, with a texture that can't be beat, the next time you crave an on point salmon tartare, you know where to go.
This Syrian/Armenian restaurant near Montreal's Little Italy is amazing. All of their dishes are bursting with flavour, but their Syrian beef tartare dish (kibbeh nayeh) is seriously special. It's fresh and tasty, and spiced perfectly so that every single flavour in the dish truly shines.
Located in Villeray, this Spanish tapas-focused restaurant is absolutely something you need to try if you haven't already - ASAP. Their dishes are always tasty and always cooked to absolute perfection; their famous beef and salmon tartares are no exception, managing to stand out among a menu of stellar dishes.
This Ahuntsic cafe is one of my favourite spots in the city, and if you've ever been to Le Petit Flore, then you know exactly why. The food here is phenomenal, and although their tartare dishes change, no matter what you end up getting, you're guaranteed it's going to be fresh, made from super high quality ingredients, and straight-up awesome.
Guys, Caesars are awesome! Granted, I'm more of a tequila shots type of gal, but there's just something about a good, hearty Caesar (hopefully topped with half an ocean of seafood) that unites all drink lovers, TBH.
Luckily for us, we live in Montreal. Which means we have a whole rainbow of tasty bloody caesars to choose from... and while there's no such thing as a bad Caesar, a select few fantastic ones stand out from the bunch.
Come for the brunch, stay for the Caesars. Bonus: Nouveau Palais is also open super late, so you can enjoy your bloody caesars pretty much whenever the mood might strike.
An awesome pub situated in the Plateau, this spot serves up some seriously good food and cocktails - their bloody caesar is simple, but straight-up awesome.
This Rosemont pub is lively, super fun, and known for serving up some amazing food. Their bloody caesars are no exception, and they come with a whole bunch of tasty crab legs on top, too!
This Plateau restaurant serves up some seriously mind-blowing tartare; but I think the true star of this spot is their tasty, refreshing, and super delicious bloody caesar cocktail.
The OG amazing bloody caesar cocktail in Montreal, if you're a fan of the Caesar, then you absolutely need to try L'Gros Luxe's version. Not only is the drink itself amazing, but it's stacked high with all the best things in the world, TBH.
Okay, if you love seafood, then you absolutely need to get yourself to Lucille, ASAP. Not only is every single seafood dish here on point, but their delicious Caesars are topped high with oysters, crab legs, shrimp, and pure happiness.
I honestly think SuWu is a paradise for anyone who loves to have fun. Not only is this spot incredibly vibrant and awesome, but they do one killer weekend brunch - including their spicy, tasty bloody caesars.
Honestly, no list on bloody caesars is complete without Montreal's Garde Manger. This drink is mixed to absolute perfection, and as an added bonus, it's topped with some incredibly tasty stuff (like crab legs!) too.
