My Quest to Find the Best Burgers, Pizzas, and Poutines in the Ottawa-Gatineau Region
Review:
I opted for 2 patties. The patties were the definition of smashpatties, thin with crispy, lacy edges. There was a thick slice of American cheese. I enjoyed the shredded lettuce and burger sauce. The bun looked plain, but it was actually more dense than I expected. This was very good.

This featured hand-cut skin-on fries that were nicely cooked. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was nicely salty and of a good consistency

The crust was very soft and of medium thickness. The sauce was light in flavour. There was a generous amount of cheese. The pepperoni was a little thicker than expected which gave the pizza a little pop of spiciness/flavour. Overall, I feel like the pizza would have benefitted from a couple extra minutes in the oven. This actually reminded me of “mall pizza”, even though it was not located in a mall.

The fries were real hand-cut fries. They seemed to be a little smaller than standard. They were well done, but not crispy. The doneness seemed to bring the sweetness out of the potatoes. There was a decent amount of cheese curds. The gravy was of a thicker consistency with rich beef flavour.

The patty was about 1/4 lb, cooked well-done on the flat top. It was topped with a slice of processed cheese. I really enjoyed the combination of the grilled onions and iceberg lettuce. It was all on a plain bun that was lightly toasted.

The crust had a chewy, Neapolitan-like texture with a good amount of char. There was only a little bit of sauce, but it was good. The pepperoni was the small, cup-style pepperoni with a little bit of spice.

The burger was quite big with a patty that seemed to be in the 6-7oz range. It was cooked well done and placed on top of the cheese. It had regular leaf lettuce. Everything was on a large bakery-style bun. It was good, but a little too bready.

The fries were hand-cut shoestring fries, which was a great differentiator from other places. The gravy was a pretty standard brown gravy. There was a good amount of curds.

This is a bakery pizza. I tried it cold before heating it up. I didn’t love the choice of crust. It was like a dense bun rather than a typical pizza crust or something more like focaccia which can also work. It was pretty greasy. The rest of the pizza was stronger. It needed more sauce. The cup pepperoni was good. The cheese was nicely salty, though I would have liked even more of it.

The patty was fairly large, probably in the 5-6oz range. It was cooked to well done, but had no outer crust. It was very soft. It was topped with a generous amount of roquette cheese. I really enjoyed the crispy onions, the aioli and the pretzel bun. I didn’t love the greens. This burger would have actually worked best without any vegetables.
