LE SMART BURGER Another burger, but this one is smart! Le Smart Burger is a downtown location made for Watch & Eat when the season starts up. They have two flat screens fixed on RDS and fresh home made burgers right off the grill.
It’s not the best burger in the city, or even the smartest. I was talking to Twitter before going and @mrlewburger compared it to Five Guys, while @Chris_Hanna said it was the best burger he ever had in a mall food court.
I hate it when the picture deceives the eater, and Le Smart Burger was not too bright in doing that. The burger looks incredible on paper, but not up to those standards in real life. I don’t judge a burger by it’s cover, so I devoured it with hope. It was a brie, caramelized onions, mushrooms and house sauce burger. A range of sides can be ordered with the burger. From fries to chilly, which is smart I guess.
In the end, the burger was a good snack. The beef is AAA Canadian, the patties are freshly ground, made daily and the restaurant itself was very comfortable. With 10 mins left to a 3-3 game vs. Boston on a Tuesday night after an evening class, Le Smart Burger might just fit the bill. The burger trio was about 10 bucks.

Two things in Montreal stick out prominently, condo developments and fancy burger joints. It’s hard to find a good and well priced one in the city. But I feel like I’ve found a gem.
The venue had a little of everything. A small and busy second floor terrace overlooking Crescent St, a fully loaded bar and a beautiful HD LED flat screen locked on sports. At first I wanted to sit myself at the bar and watch golf, but I’ve been taking advantage of the off season by talking to people instead.
I was skeptical about the place, burgers are all over and everyone is boasting about their beef. But Burger Bar has one of the best burgers. I know, it’s impossible to say ‘best’ but that day, nobody would be able to impress me more. I ordered the Wild Shroom Burger. Sauteed wild mushrooms overflowing on my plate, caramelized onions, arugula and roasted garlic mayonnaise. It smelled like caramel, melted like chocolate. The bread was soft and lightly toasted, it slowly got soaked in the juices and added a harmonious symphony of taste in every bite. Most importantly the beef was thick and cooked to a medium-well perfection. As you squeezed the burger up to your mouth, you can see the juices flowing out of the reddish beef…
The burger was 12$ and this place is on my top for Watch&Eat this fall. I can’t wait! Best means, one of the best and in my opinion. To really have the best in anything, it’s about consistency and a general consensus, not the opinion of one, but many. Burger Bar; 1465 Crescent St. Montreal
