Smash burger fans have been loving this new brick-and-mortar space on St. Clair for a pop-up project that took off. Double cheeseburgers and "JABS fries" are joined unexpectedly by healthy salad bowls. Patties, pickles and sauces are made in-house.

Who would've thought Wagyu could ever be considered even remotely affordable? This new Kensington Market spot is bringing quality beef to the people with this concept where high-end cheeseburgers still manage to ring in under $10.

If you ever find yourself in need of tacos and a giant margarita served inside a pineapple, this cute and colourful Dundas West restaurant has got you. They'll also set you up with other Mexican food like cheesy soup or horchata.

Kensington is the new permanent home for this patty maker that became known from their widely popular pop-ups and collabs. They're a go-to space for their remixed patties that features beef and cheese, as well as stuffed patties.

Though the people behind this restaurant have been in the business for over 25 years, they've just now brought the Markham business downtown to Queen West with a short but sweet menu of wonton and noodle dishes that includes brisket noodles with ultra-tender meat.
