My Quest to Find the Best Burgers, Pizzas, and Poutines in the Ottawa-Gatineau Region
Review:
This burger came with a nicely crispy smashed patty. It had a slice of cheddar and some bacon. The vegetables were fresh. I thought the bun held up very well and the BBQ aioli was very good. I wish the bun was toasted.

The burger featured a large (close to 8 oz.) patty that was grilled to well-done. It was topped with a slice of processed cheese. There was a generous amount of perfectly cooked bacon. The somewhat generic bun was lightly toasted. The vegetables were appropriately proportioned.

The fries were standard-cut with the skin-on. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was thicker with a good, beefy flavour.

This looked like a Neapolitan-style pizza but it was actually quite different. The crust was a little bit thicker and a little less chewy than a typical Neapolitan pizza. The toppings were of good quality with the cheese being a little salty. The sauce tasted a little more like tomato paste, but not in a bad way.

This had skin on fries. There was a lot of shredded cheese in this poutine. Unfortunately, the gravy was a little watered down and lacked the oomph that the poutine required.

The bun was very nice with a little more body than most. The patty was well cooked but not very flavourful. There was a slice of cheddar on it. My least favourite part of the burger was that it used mixed greens instead of a proper lettuce.

The poutine had real skin-on fries cooked to a nice crispy texture. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was pretty much standard fare.

This burger had thin patties which were crispy on the outside yet still cooked medium on the inside. It had a lot of cheddar cheese. Some nice crispy onions and a BBQ sauce. It also had lettuce. It all came on a brioche-style bun. I enjoyed it, but I feel like a mayo-based sauce might have been even better.

The fries were large, frozen fries, but of reasonably decent quality. The curd distribution was a little bit off. The gravy was ok, though I can’t say anything particularly interesting about it.

This burger came on a brioche-style bun that was perfectly toasted. It had a generous amount of perfectly cooked bacon. There was a generous amount of cheddar cheese on it. A garlic aioli was the sauce of choice and I have to give bonus points for shredded iceberg lettuce. The 1/4 lb brisket patty was crispy on the outside yet still juicy with an intense beef flavour. This was one of the best burgers I’ve had in quite some time.
