Review from Laarv F.
1/2/2012
Laarv is American so this review will be typed in American Engilsh.
Wow, when Laarv and her companion arrived in Montreal after a long drive from America, they were hungry! Like fate they were drawn to iBurger. Laarv and her companion were very impressed with the touch screen ordering system. However, Laarv did want to wash her hands afterwards, not knowing how many greasing fingers were all over the screen. The burger was second to none. The side salad was so good, that Laarv finished hers and reached over across the table to help her companion finish his. Laarv was the happiest in Montreal when she was at iBurger. Laarv hopes America does not find out about iBurger and shut them down for copying our technology. I guess it was just a matter of time for Canada to catch up. Prices were a bit confusing because they were not US $. In the end Laarv and her companion probably gave a 50% tip. But that's ok - it was worth the $ to make iBurger - MyBurger. -

We decided to check this place out a few months ago. The concept of the restaurant is very cool (although surprisingly, they are not affiliated with Apple..I wonder how that's legal). Anyhow, the fact that you can order your food on a touch screen at your table is wonderful. However, the food, although kind of pricey, is really not that great. Ok burgers, ok fries, ok salad. Nothing too exciting (nothing.. not even the fois gras burger........). I wouldn't really go back, but it's interesting to see the whole touchscreen menu thing..

I was visiting from NY. My bff now works and lives in the downtown area of Montreal. We had passed here several times and she had always wanted to try it being a huge burger fan that she is.
We came on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. The place wasn't too packed, a nice work crowd from the downtown area. Placing our order was quite unique on the table top touchscreen. Very nice concept...the waiter came and explained how to use it so we were left to our choices of a nice menu spread.
We both ordered from the express menu which includes coffee/tea/hot chocolate and dessert for $15.00
I had the salmon burger and my friend had the lamb burger both with salads. After checking with the waiter to make sure our order went through, we asked that the lamb be cooked rare (it wasn't on the menu choice), we were quite pleased to know that they do cook rare as most places in Montreal do not at all.
The burgers took a little more than 10 minutes to come, I heard everything is made to order- and not preprepared beforehand.
The burgers were very good. My salmon was perfectly cooked, it was a nice portion sized patty. My friend's rare lamb burger was actually rare! Wow, and it was delicious. She did say it could've been a bit more seasoned but otherwise was very happy as well.
They were out of the chocolate cake and got some other chocolate thing, wasn't half bad and the hot chocolate was great too.
Overall experience was good. Apparently Thursday nights they have a DJ so that should be a nice touch for the evening crowd. I would recommend this to friends, definitely. -

Decided to go there because I had bought a Tuango coupon.
The place looked really cool with its interactive menu and good-looking food.
The interactive menu is a screen on the table that allows you to choose what you want to eat, look at prices, call a waiter etc.
This touch screen creation ended up being the restaurants downfall.
My friends and i went on a friday around 4 pm. The restaurant was virtually empty so we figured we'd get great service.
Our waiter seated us and showed us how to use the interactive menu. Fun and entertaining concept except when you keep trying to click on something and it won't do it.
We ordered a pizza, sushi burger, and lamb burger.
Food arrived shortly after we sent the order and tasted good. No complaints about the food (i would have liked sweet potato fries but they didn't have any)
While we were eating our waiter never came to see if we enjoyed our food or needed anything. We did need something... water.
So i clicked on call the waiter on the interactive menu..... no one ever came. We had to flag someone down that was walking past our table.
In the end, the "cool" aspect of iburger didn't work.
Service failed miserably.
How much should you tip the waiter if he does nothing? 15% seemed excessive and i usually tip 20% on an okay dinner.
Burgers are also overpriced. You're better off going somewhere else. -

If you love overpriced burgers aimed at a clientele that feels overpaying is a symbol of status then you've found your jawn.

Love the concept and it's a pretty good execution, but the burger... maybe it's my American taste buds, but the burger just doesn't do it for me. I had the organic burger with swiss cheese. The pickles, tomatoes and bun were pretty good. The meat was odd. Partially pink on one half... not uniformly cooked, and overdone for the most part.
I didn't get the fries, but the salad was tasty with fairly light dressing applied. The salad could have come out first such that I wasn't trying to eat a salad while my burger gets cold, but the temperature wasn't the problem with the burger.
Reasonable beer selection, although I'll pass on Corona at 8 dollars a bottle thank you.
The concept here is really cool and with a couple of tweaks could be top notch. I'm not sure if the bad burger is worth the trendiness of the touch screen ordering system, but the wait staff was very pleasant and helpful. The touch screen could be used for so much more. Once you're done ordering play games with someone at your table or on the other side of the restaurant, watch TV or any number of things. Also, the touch screens themselves aren't ubber sensitive, which leads to a lot of extra tapping attempts, but your nice waiter will advise you :-) -

While recently travelling in Montreal I found myself nursing a bit of a hangover one day. Having slept through breakfast and not in the mood to chance a restaurant and something different, I decided to look for a burger. My hotel being downtown I was recommended to try iBurger.
iBurger as the name suggests takes after the iPod/iPad craze that is sweeping the World. Situated downtown, it's a trendy and modern burger place that has modern looking tables that have touch-screen surfaces that you use to place your order. It's basically like using an iPad/iPod to place your order. Don't worry, there is a host and servers there to help you out, but more on them later. I actually like this concept in that you can see what everything on the menu looks like and so you largely know what you're getting.
iBurger is definitely more your gourment burger place than what I'm accustomed to getting in Milwaukee. That wasn't a bad thing by any means though. I got the regular Angus burger and the meat tasted fresh flavorful. I made the mistake of getting cheddar cheese on it though. This is not a slice of cheddar cheese but rather some cheddar cheese sauce they put on top. That was the biggest disappointment about my meal. The brioche bun was a pleasant surprise though. It's not your somewhat typical "way too thick" bun. It was rather flat, but it was still enough bread and quite good. The fries are cut fries with rosemary and thyme flavoring that definitely give them a distinctive taste. The closest thing I've ever had to them were chive fries. They don't skimp on the fries either as you get a good amount of them. Overall it was a good meal, but I'd enquire as to the cheese and other toppings the next time round.
As for the service, I wouldn't necessarily expect to mention it at a place like this. However I have to say that the service here was quite good. The host was my waiter of sorts as well and he helped me get set up right away. Then someone else brought me my food, and he too was nice. He even grabbed some extra ketchup for me as they put it in these little stainless steel cannisters which for me was enough for the burger at most. Then the host/waiter checked back with me a couple of times while also seating and servicing at least four more tables. He too grabbed some extra ketchup for me.
Overall I would definitely recommend iBurger. The food was good and the interactive menu while trendy was pretty cool. The prices are a bit high for a burger in my experience, I'd say that this being a city the size of Montreal and the food you're getting you do get what you pay for.
