Burger de Ville @ Westminster in Montreal West

Time for another great, inexpensive restaurant review. Today, it’s for Burger de Ville. Good food at great Montreal Bargain prices

This fairly new restaurant (not even a year old) is tiny but don’t let the size of the restaurant fool you. The food portions are huge and even better – they’re fabulous.

I’m not usually one for overly large food portions; I prefer to pay for decent sizes that don’t lead to overeating. However, they tell you that the fries, for example, come in a large bowl, so that lets you order only one to share between two. If your food is too much, you can always take the rest home to snack on later or to share with someone who wasn’t lucky enough to go with you.

As the name says, it’s basically burgers, but you can get some other choices as well.

When you enter the restaurant, there’s an order counter, where you place your order whether you are staying or taking out. This part is a bit crowded and confusing – if I had to criticize anything, it would be this set up. The door opens right to where everyone is standing and if the line is long, if you’ve ordered something ahead of time, you still have to stand in the long line to pay for and pick up your order. After you place your order, if you’re staying, they give you a number to place on your table so the server knows where to bring your food.

The food prices are very reasonable: a regular hamburger (dressed as you ask) is 4.00, while a cheeseburger is 4.50 and a cheese and bacon burger can be had for 5.00. And we’re not talking slivers of meat here – we’re talking real, honest-to-goodness, open-your-mouth wide, fresh-not-frozen hamburgers.

Other available offerings are are

• hamburgers with blue cheese, pepper mayo, and carmelized onions (6.00)
• hamburger with St. Paulin cheese and spicy mayo (6.00)
• hamburger with goat cheese, grilled veg, black pepper mayo (6.00)
• old-fashioned poutine (4.00 or 6.00)
• salads
• and more

Location:

59 Westminster North
Montreal West

(514) 564-9902

It’s just a few blocks north of Sherbrooke, on the right hand side if you are walking up.

My advice: check it out. But because of its small size, you may want to avoid traditional meal hours or considering calling and ordering ahead.
