| - With numerous locations across Toronto and this emergence of a craft beer following, I felt this visit was long overdue. Nestled within the Shops of Don Mills, walking through this area on a Friday night is always lively, and fun.
Decor is nice, and they have a nice patio, and everything looks the way it should for a proper upper class bier markt... I opted for the burger..
MERCHANT BURGER ~ 10 oz. Wagyu beef burger, chargrilled, smoked
bacon, charred red onion, vine-ripe tomato, iceberg lettuce, "Bier 58"
sauce, toasted classic bun, Markt frites ~ $25
Burger was good... we sampled numerous beers, although I am a little ashamed to say, I'm not sure which ones. I always ask the employees for recommendations.
The burger was a good solid burger, and the beef was high quality. I asked for it medium rare (or as close as they can safely get to that). It was a little overcooked, and slightly dry, but was still tasty. It was a satisfying meal, BUT BUT BUT... for 25 dollars for a burger and fries, I expect a little closer to perfection. So, slightly disappointing for me there.
There is nothing wrong with this place... good selection of beers, normal service, food was okay. I would stop in if in the area and looking for some good beers, but I would not travel into the city specifically for this location.
