Eat & Drink

And we’re getting just that at m : brgr, a sleekly modern (but still laid back) make-it-your-way burger bar opened by the brains behind Moishe’s steakhouse. The upscale burger menu ranges from ‘AAA’ ($8.75), organic ($12) and Kobe beef ($19.75) to tuna ($17.75) and veggie ($9.75) options. Then comes the fun part: choosing toppings ($1 - $4) from a variety of cheeses, meats and veggies (plus adventurous additions like grilled pineapple, and when we’re in the mood for extravagance, black truffle aioli for $10).

For our non-burger cravings there’s mac n’ cheese ($13) with a truffle potato chip crust, Angus all-beef hot dogs ($6.75) or one of the meal-sized salads ($8.75 - $13.75). And those “Moishe’s” staples we love like cole slaw ($3.75) and pickles ($2) are available as well. With sides come more choices: Are we in the mood for sweet potato fries ($5), regular fries ($4) or fried onions ($5)? (We ended up with a basket of all three, $12.)

With a portion of all sales going to Montreal children’s charities, we only have one question: How do you like your m : brgr?
