Here are my picks for the top pub burgers in Toronto.
The Grover
The Upper Beaches publican prides itself on doing a really good burger and The Southwood is just that. The beef burger on a brioche bun is stacked high with bacon, cheese, sauteed onions, mushrooms, lettuce and chipotle mayo, and is topped with a pickle spear.
The English pub on Elm Street is home to a hand chopped burger that can be served with a deep pink centre on request. The patty itself is special, more akin to a steak than your average burger patty, and it needs little adornment, some melted cheese, a strip of bacon, house-made ketchup on the side will do.
The High Park area pub builds its behemoth burger with a house-ground chuck patty, slapped with American cheese, grilled onions, iceberg, pickles and horseradish mayo. Regulars report that this is the stuff dreams are made of (literally) or that they've yet to try anything else on the menu because they keep coming back for the same thing.
The sports pub on Dundas West is the place to catch the game (any game) with a burger and beer in hand. The kitchen sources its meat and bread from businesses nearby to build the signature Derby Banquet Burger featuring a hand-formed patty on a Portuguese bun with smoked bacon, jack cheese and all the fixings: lettuce, pickles, roasted tomato, and chipotle mayo.
The public house at Yonge and Lawrence offers a mighty tasty burger on a sesame seed bun. The thick beef patty is served au naturel with toppings like sharp cheddar, caramelized onions and grilled mushrooms available as upgrades.
