STOP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AND EAT THESE BURGERS!
My girlfriend and I are both burger lovers (I live in NY so I'm spoiled with the good stuff constantly) but we are also big fans on Montreal food. So, when we heard there was a homegrown montreal burger joint serving Poutine Burgers and other local specialities, we knew we had to stop by and check out Royal Burger.
Oh my. Oh my. The wonderful tastes.
Before I tell you about the dishes we had, I want to note that the meat here was top notch. Instead of buying ground beef, the owner (a very friendly young Canadian fellow) buys steaks and grinds them up himself. The result; steak texture with burger appeal. I had the Poutine Burger and it definitely blew my mind. I got some extra gravy on the side and I sat and eat in a near comatose state of delight. My girlfriend got the Mac and Cheese Burger which was equally delicious.
The atmosphere is casual and you can see the place is still "coming together" (it doesn't have a liquor license yet) but that sort of gives it the "it's real" charm. A real place, run by real people, serving REALLY good food.
Go now before it gets crowded.
