Jesus you guys are high end .. i was just going to say get an apache burger lol.

 

How is Apache Burger?

The one time I decided to go, the moment I parked, the entire neighbourhood suffered from a major power outage. The store manager closed up shop and asked me to come back another time. I haven't been back since.

 

If you want a good burger go to Rudy.

 

its novel for me , i liked it , but its kind of like recommending movies, something you like others may hate.

 

Great thread - I am a GTA'er (ex Toronto) and it's great to see so many places posted worth checking out. I don't make it in to the 'big city' as much as I would like to and hardly at all since Covid started but now I have some destinations. On the burger front I must admit that I am partial to Johnny's on Vic Park (yes I know they are frozen patties from Macgregors Meat) but I still like to hit it up once or twice a year on my way in/out of the city. Cheers.

 

Yes, Rudy is awesome too! One of my favourites in town, but need to explore the other options that exist in the GTA.

 

Since I am an official burger aficionado (with the body to match) here are a few some suggestions, both takeout and sit down.

Aloette
Matty's Pattys
Burger Drops
White Lily (patty melt)
GG's Burgers
Richmond Station
Stock TC
Marben
Barberian's
Slayer Burger
The Stockyards
Maple Leaf Tavern
Holy Chuck

 

Nowhere near Downtown Toronto, but have you ever tried Burgers Park across from Porsche Centre North Toronto? One of my favourites. I'll have to give a shot to the places you mentioned. I've heard a lot of great thing about the burger at Richmond Station!

 

hard to argue with a Burger Bod !

 

there you have it .. we are divided again .... First it was water cooled vs Air cooled

Then it was lib vs Con.

now we have " excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon" vs Burgers !!

 

To be clear, I am both burger-fiend and Michelin star chaser. Not either or.

 

I live around the corner from Stockyards. Their burger is epic, as is the one from Richmond Station.

 

For those of us in Cabbagetown, Dova for fine dining and The House on Parliament (aka The HOP) for deluxe pub fare.
Our area has one of the largest surviving Victorian era home districts in Canada and the gardens are just coming into bloom. A great neighborhood walk and always fun to visit the Riverdale farm to see the new baby goats and sheep.

 

Nice, love that place. Haven't been in years but both the burger and fried chicken are fantastic.

 

We're in Leslieville so not far... in that area we've also had a few nice meals at F'Amelia and heard good things about the pizza at Salt + Tobacco but haven't been yet. Toyko Ramen is also excellent.

Pre-pandemic we used to eat at either Kingyo or Zakkushi in Cabbagetown pretty much every Sunday. Kingyo unfortunately closed but will have to get back to Zakkushi soon for a ridiculous amount of yakitori skewers.
