5 restaurants that prove that the perfect burger exists

With or without cheese, single or double (or even triple!), few dishes are as synonymous with comfort food as the burger. These sandwiches, which can be found just about everywhere on the planet, can be prepared in 1,001 ways. Although the “best burger in town” debate has been raging for ages, the burger is for many of us the ultimate indulgent treat.

Hero Certified Burger

This Bishop Street restaurant takes an eco-friendly approach, serving burgers made with all natural, hormone- and antibiotic-free 100% Canadian Angus beef. In addition to the many creative variations on offer, you can also build your own burger: choose your patty (between 6 and 10 ounces, halal and vegetarian options available), bun (several options are available, including gluten free), cheese (blue cheese, yum!), and your choice of sauces, salads, toppings, and sides.

Over 60 million Steerburgers have been served to date!
