| - Five Guys Burgers finally opened in Old Montreal! Considering that I waited a good 20-30 minutes, I guess the word is out! Since I spent almost 4 years in California, aka "In-N-Out Country", I was impatient to see how Five Guys would compare to my beloved fast food chain. In the end, I must say that there are no clear winners.
I ordered the bacon cheeseburger all-dressed, which includes, grilled mushrooms and onions amongst other things. Quite a large selection of free toppings. As advertised, the beef patties were very fresh: handmade, juicy and very flavorful. My friend and I scarfed down our burger without saying a word. Word of advice: The burger is quite messy because of its size. I felt the bun was not toasted enough and the cheese was not melted enough but I am just being fussy here.
The fries are fantastic. Made in-house from real potatoes, the definite winner is the Cajun style fries: the spices add a nice kick. The portions are huge. You can easily share a regular portion between 2 persons.
The only drawback is the price. A burger, fries and drink will cost nearly 15$! Maybe it's a good thing... it'll prevent me from going there too often on my lunch breaks! One would say that you have to pay for quality.
Five Guys people: Please add poutine to your menu! Dudes, you're in Montreal!
