| - Until stopping in at Burger Bar, I was under the impression that meal times in Montreal were lingering ordeals where waiters/waitresses served at a leisurely pace. Frankly, it was getting on my nerves. Here at Burger Bar, service was speedy, getting me and my friend fed and out the door for more sight seeing in a timely manner.
The food at Burger Bar is great too, nice and fresh and huge portions. Burger Bar gave me my first (and only) experience with poutine. I have to say I still would prefer cheese fries, but I was happy with this Canadian staple. Served in a bowl and slopping with gravy, the bottom got pretty soggy, but I guess that is the nature of the dish. When it came to choosing an entree, the menu was good size and there are a few chicken options for those who don't want/eat red meat and some salad options for those who refrain from animals of any sort.
The side salad I got in place of fries was just a bowl of lettuce which I found a bit strange. No carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes.. ya know, the usual veggies you would find in a salad. Didn't matter much though because the main event was huge and stacked high with yummy goodness. My friend's side fries were a heaping portion, enough for me to steal a few. For about $15, I walked out stuffed.
