| - Gourmet burgers as a popular food trend is nothing we in Toronto haven't experienced before. What perhaps has changed is the quality and options you can now enjoy in some of these new burger joints. While some establishments like ACME Burger are merely one notch above their fast food mega-chain rivals, some new burger restaurants like W Burger Bar exalt the hamburger to a level that once bitten into will spoil you against anything lesser.
Walking into W Burger Bar you'll notice how pleasantly crisp white the interior looks. Certainly this is one of the more pleasant gourmet burger restaurants you'll ever sit in. It's not a very big place, just perfect for lunch which I believe makes up a good portion of W Burger Bar's business. Moments after entering the establishment I was pleasantly greeted not only by a server but what appeared to be the manager as well. The first impression I got from the staff was "Welcome, we're pleased to have you here." This despite the fact the place was full up and humming with a lunch crowd. Already I'm impressed.
The menu consists of not only beef burgers but lamb, bison, salmon, chicken, veggie and more. Note that the beef is both hormone and anti-biotic free and comes from the local Rowe Farms! Available toppings are too numerous to mention here but let's just say you're burger is pretty well covered. Sides include the mandatory french fries both in regular potato and sweet potato variety. If by chance you went to W Burger Bar to eat something other than a burger (you big silly) there are other comfort foods like chili, mac 'n cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches as well as soups and salads.
I decided to order a simple beef burger with a 50/50 side of sweet and regular potato fries. For toppings I went with a mix of what appealed to me, top on the list was sauteed onions (the only way onions should be done for a burger). For a beverage I discovered a special on bottled Steam Whistle at $2.99 and so "Una cerveza, por favor." You can also get Pabst Blue Ribbon by the pitcher for some ridiculously cheap price here as well. The burger I ordered medium as I was told that was the bloodiest I could get it. I also opted for the whole wheat bun, cause that's how I roll.
Soon after ordering I was given a gratis snack plate of carrot and celery sticks with dip, nice! The food I ordered arrived in the exact time I'd expect it to take to prepare, I looked at the burger and it was huge! Meaning I could actually see the meat and toppings as oppose to just a giant bun with something hidden inside it. The burger was delicious, I gobbled it down. The fries were also good though I felt could have been a little more on the crisper side. All in all I was stuffed and quite satisfied. Gourmet burger, fries and a beer and the total with tip came out to somewhere around $15.
On my way out I was thanked again by the manager for my patronage and the waitress who served me dashed to offer me a free brownie sample before I headed out the door. All I can say in closing is the "W" in W burger Bar probably stands for "Wow." I recommend.
