| - Mmm... who doesn't love a good burger?
But when that good burger is an OUTSTANDING burger, then it is worth talking about!
We visited the first Hero Burger branch in Montreal on a Friday after work. Inside, it is smaller than the Toronto branches that I've been to but it is cosy and has the same theme and menu.
Despite having opened a month or two ago, it already seemed popular with nearly all the tables full. We were given a very warm welcome by manager Yusuf and were impressed by his service and hospitality.
It wasn't too difficult deciding on what to have... you choose your patty size (6-10oz), choice of bread (healthier options available), cheese (mm blue cheese!) and choice of sauces, salads, toppings and sides. If you get stuck deciding on how to build your burger, go for a ready-made combo which is what I did. I went for an 8oz, named 'The Hero' I believe and changed the cheddar cheese for blue cheese.
The combination was definitely delicious - you could definitely taste the quality beef and ingredients - very fresh and gourmet compared to its competitors.
I loved the fries but missed the super-cool automatic drinks machine that they have at the Toronto branches. Maybe they will introduce it soon?
Price-wise it is reasonable, similarly priced to its competitors but can get higher if extras are added.
To top it all off, Yusuf let us try a complimentary Nutella Sundae which was absolutely delicious. I love when ice-cream tastes more milky than just sugar and this had the texture and taste of frozen yoghurt almost. The added Nutella just brought that extra wow-factor!
Overall, loved the place, the quality of the burgers and service. They are open 'til late so we will definitely be back!
