| - Who doesn't like a good burger? iBurger delivers a good gourmet burger with a cool atmosphere.
On a recent trip to Montreal, I stopped in here for lunch on a Monday. The place was quiet, with a few tables filled, but not empty. The friendly (and cute) waiter sat us by the window and explained how the touch-screen menu works. It was definitely cool - the menu took up almost the entire size of the table between us, with photographs, descriptions, and a touch ordering system. Sure, the pressure sensitivity isn't as good as an iPhone, but it worked well enough to be cool and impressive. It's nice to see touch-screen technology being used in neat ways.
Our food came out quickly. I got the salmon burger, and my sister got the sushi "burger" (not really a burger at all, more like a stack of sushi ingredients!). My salmon burger was delicious. It was a good size, as well - I could finish it if I wanted to be really full, or I could finish almost all of it if I wanted to be comfortable. We both ordered sides of poutine, which was very good. Salty (not unexpected) but with plenty of gravy and cheese.
From the exterior, iBurger looks unassuming, but it has a welcoming interior, with dark colors and brick walls on the sides. I think there was bar seating at the back (we sat at the front, so I didn't take it in very well). Our window seats had a great view for people watching at the lunch hour.
Looking back, I definitely wish I'd taken a closer look at the preset lunch deals as opposed to ordering a la carte, because the tab came to a lot more than I realized it would.
