really great place- burgers are outstanding. i got the lefty (impeccable) and my wife got the steak frites with the foie gras add on- it was amazing. Highly recommend. Also, the local IPA was very tasty

If you’re reading the mixed reviews and hesitating — let me settle it for you. People complain about the price. $28 for a burger, fries, and a drink. Here’s what they’re missing: Peter is using USDA Prime and Canadian AAA beef, dry-aged richness, jumbo Cajun shrimp on the Surf & Turf, real Wagyu on the Wagyu burger, foie gras, black truffle, lobster — these are steakhouse-grade ingredients on a brioche bun. Go price out a steak dinner with these same ingredients anywhere in Old Montreal and come back to me about value. The Rico Opera alone eats like a fine dining experience compressed into a burger. The fries are not an afterthought — they’re some of the best in the city, served with a house garlic aioli you’ll want to take home in a jar. The short rib poutine is decadent in the way poutine is supposed to be but almost never is. The French Dip might be the sleeper hit of the menu. And then there’s Peter. Some reviews call him intense. He is. He’s a chef who cares deeply about how his food is meant to be eaten and isn’t going to pretend otherwise to get a tip. If you walk in expecting a fast-food transaction, you’ll be confused. If you walk in curious, ask him what to order, trust the recommendation, and pay attention to the plate in front of you — you’ll get one of the best meals in Montreal and a real conversation with the guy who made it. That’s not a flaw. That’s the entire point. This place was born out of Queue de Cheval, an institution of Montreal. The DNA is still there. You’re not paying burger prices because it isn’t a burger joint — it’s a steakhouse that happens to put it between two buns. Stop reading reviews. Just Go. George

Already left a 5⭐️ in the past but had to use my wife’s account to post a new one. Peter’s hospitality is second to none. The Greek word for hospitality is philoxenia (φιλοξενία), which literally translates to “friend to a stranger” or “love of strangers.” Yesterday, my daughter was so excited when she noticed we were walking down de la Commune toward “el gordito’s” (her nickname for Peter) that I forgot to pay my parking meter. After Peter’s warm welcome, I told him I had to step out to feed the meter. Without hesitation, Peter offered to pay it from his phone so I wouldn’t have to leave my wife and daughter waiting.I met Peter as a complete stranger who loved his food, and over the years he sort of became a friend. This is hands down the most underrated restaurant in Montreal. The quality of ingredients this man puts on the plate, the layering of flavors and textures, and the price he charges — it’s a complete bargain. It saddens me to read the bad reviews on his page, because people don’t understand the concept and don’t consider the value they get for every dollar they spend at QDC. Peter is a real one. He’s passionate about what he does and won’t let ignorance dictate how to run his business. He’s not a suck-up and won’t bend over to please anyone. What makes Peter feel good is people coming in and enjoying his food the way he intends it to be eaten, not the other way around. If you do, and you show appreciation, you’ll find in Peter a friend — like I did. If it weren’t for the location and the parking, I’d go way more often. There are plenty of restaurants whose food I enjoy, but almost none make me feel the way I feel when I visit Peter at QDC. Thanks again for all the good times — can’t wait to be part of your next adventures.

Food is good. Owner has different personalities. But it depends on who he's talking to. You see customers wearing suits looking rich, he talks with finesse and very accommodating. You see casual looking clients, he's rude. Atmosphere is depressing, it's hard to eat food when you see the staff being shouted at all the time. I saw a person walk in who apparently ordered for pick up, when the person came he said, "Hi!, I'm picking up an order for ****". The owner shouted, "what do you mean ****? I don't know any order for ****" The person gave the name again. The owner checked his computer and there it is. The order was real. So the owner shouted at his cook to make the order fast. Take note, not just shouting, shouting with offensive curses. Then the owner came outside to serve us. He was very nice to us with all his flowery words. I was wearing a suit. So. I pity the cook. She looks tired and hurt. Can't hurt to have a little kindess to everybody.

We're visiting Montreal from New York. So glad we found this place. Hands down the best burger I can remember having. My kids had amazing Mac and Cheese and my wife who is vegetarian had an incredible veggie burger. Everything is made with a lot of thought and attention. Couldn't give this place a more enthusiastic thumbs up

Not great, I won't go back. Food was extraordinarily greasy. In terms of service, they refused to serve tap water, which I really don't like. It took us a very long time to get our bill....and we didn't even get a bill, they just handed us the interac machine with an amount on it. *Reply to owner/management commentary* - This is such an odd response from an owner. How on earth would you remember me if, as you said in your reply, I did not complain, just sat and ate my food (like any other customer, I presume)? How do you distinguish me from anyone else? Now you're just lying, which is a strange response from management. I absolutely did not get a bill. Why not just accept that perhaps one of your employees made a mistake, and use the feedback as a learning opportunity? The only thing you've demonstrated from your reply is that you're dishonest.

Great menu and wonderful food. The server we had, though, was a thin-skinned fusspot who made it abundantly clear he was the most important person in the establishment and mattered far more than customers. "The music is a bit loud, could you maybe turn it down a bit?" (in an otherwise empty restaurant). "No" (with a smug smile). We found a corner that was outside the trajectory of the pulsating speakers and yelped our order at him over the din. "Could the aioli be in a side dish instead of dollopped on top of the fries?" (After considerable thought) "Yes, I will allow that!". Welcome to kindergarten! Watching him flutter around was an amusing floorshow, and when the food arrived, we had good reason to ignore him. Delicious, in a great location. To bad the experience wasn't as elevated as the food.

Sit at the counter, watch the action and most importantly, talk to Pete. Super unique offerings on the menu. The most delicious burger (Rico Opera) she's ever had, says my wife. Restaurant warrants multiple visits to try a few different burgers. Fun banter with our server. Warm conversation and resto recommendations with Pete, the owner.

The best burger you can find in Montreal is here! Everything is perfect and absolutely delicious. The ambience is very clean and welcoming. The owner, Peter, who is from Greece, is very friendly and checked on us three times to make sure everything was good. He is truly hospitable. Wishing the best for this restaurant ✌️

Tastiest burger you’ll ever have. I’ve tried almost all of the types of burgers and have never been disappointed. Sad to see their other locations closed down.

A gourmet burger to have a glass of wine with. Good flavours. Fries seemed like they were fried yesterday in bulk, then reheated to serve? That's one way I guess. Personally, I like my fries freshly fried ... and PEI potatoes not the QC sweet type, but that's just personal taste. Belle Province fries reheated in a toaster oven are also pretty good, and that's what these were like. The punchy music and owner's faintly insincere host-with-the-most schtick ... some will love, and others find a bit much. Then with tax and tip, it's nearly $60 for one person, which is a lot. As others have noted, Five Guys is minutes away, less herbs and wine admittedly, but much better fries (IMHO), and great burgers, for 30% less. QDC Burger is worth trying once for sure, if you can afford it. You may love it! It's definitely distinctive and not for everyone. I'll probably go back when I can.
