Bonjour! 

Je m’appelle Andrew and bienvenue chez BurgerTours! 

For the month of March, Mark and I made a decision to journey out of town, and out of the province for that matter to Canada’s poutine capital, Montréal. However as an alternative of indulging ourselves with Canada’s famend delicacy, we determined to deal with our pallets to burgers, burgers at a tremendous Montréal burger institution, La Belle et la Boeuf. 

Roughly translated to Magnificence and the Beef, this bar/restaurant/pub presents a handful of burger creations from their menu, together with an enormous tower of a burger merely referred to as Epic with quadruple beef patties for only a low, low value of $57.95. And that’s not even the priciest burger on the menu. However for what you get on the Epic, together with an image for his or her wall of fame, it’s a very comical worth. Had I higher ready for this burger, I’d’ve opted for it. The costliest burger on the menu belongs to a 5 pound, 10 inch burger, riotously referred to as Spank Me – as a result of when you, or a bunch of your very hungry mates don’t end it, you’ll get spanked by a picket paddle lmao.
Nonetheless, we knew that these burgers have been going to be huge. 

The Massive Jack/Photograph by Andrew Hockridge

The burger I did resolve to get was referred to as the Massive Jack. It’s a double 5oz. beef patty burger, secret sauce, cheddar cheese, chopped onions, chopped lettuce and sliced pickles. And though it’s the Montréal equal of a Massive Mac, it’s petit compared to the opposite burgers on the La Belle et la Boeuf menu. 

Our combos arrived with a number of drinks a few minutes later and it was a beautiful sight. 

The Massive Jack was very filling. The toppings have been very flavorful and though it was powerful to wrap each my palms round it, I loved each chunk of it. The meat patty was juicy and tender and, whereas the meat was barely undercooked, the extra toppings have been an ideal complement to the minor inconsistencies of the burger. 

General, La Belle et la Boeuf was a nice eating expertise and I actually loved my meal. There are numerous burgers to select from the menu, they usually have choices catering to each need. The eating space is big and the temper is vibing. It’s an excellent ambiance for a celebration and even only a small group to seize a satisfying chunk to eat. With a handful of places throughout the Montréal area, together with one in Gatineau and one in Laval, La Belle et la Boeuf is rising in recognition, however only a truthful warning: their burgers aren’t for the faint of coronary heart.

Mark’s Evaluation 

Bonjour as soon as once more from Montreal! 

We’re again to deliver you, but once more, one other particular burger tour. However, this time for a special day… Andrew’s birthday. To have fun, he selected the burger joint for this tour and I don’t assume there was hesitation along with his alternative. We deliver you to… La Belle et la Boeuf! 

This was a slightly thrilling alternative as they’re identified for his or her outrageous and monstrous burger creations. Having a number of chains throughout Montreal, we visited their Rue Ste. Catherine location conveniently located close to the center of downtown.

The Avocado/Photograph by Mark Avila

Searching by their menu, I discovered it tough to decide on what burger to decide on. The choice was large! It wasn’t till we sat down that I ended up selecting ‘The Avocado’ — beef patty layered with tomato, pico de gallo, lettuce, ranch sauce, and naturally, avocado. 

Taking that first chunk took minute, as I used to be making an attempt to work my method round this burgers’ sheer measurement. Ultimately, I had to surrender utilizing my palms and begin selecting at it with a knife and fork. However let me inform you, after they referred to as this the Avocado they weren’t brief when it got here to the Avocado. 

This burger was loaded with Avocado from high to backside! It sadly made it extremely messy once I made my method consuming by it, because the avocado along with the Pico de Gallo squirted out and ran down the perimeters of my mouth onto the plate. 

Flavour smart, it was fairly good. I assumed the avocado can be too overpowering, however there was good steadiness with the entire composition. In all probability the tastiest burger I’ve had thus far this 12 months. The meat patty was cooked and seasoned properly, and the flavours have been gentle and surprisingly refreshing. 

General, it was a pleasant new discovery in Montreal. This metropolis by no means stops to shock us with new flavours and burgers to attempt. I believe this tops my record as my favorite burger joint in Montreal thus far!
