Restaurant Le Carré, Downtown

Montreal's burger scene splits into two camps: smash patties and pub-style thick burgers. The smash patty trend arrived a few years ago and took hold fast, with thin patties pressed onto a screaming-hot griddle until the edges crisp and the cheese melts into the meat. The pub classics are thicker, juicier, and usually come with fries and a local beer. Both styles have their loyalists. The best burger joints here do not need anything beyond quality beef, a proper bun, and restraint with the toppings.
