Burgers show love for the planet

Bareburger is an ever-expanding phenomenon. After opening its first location in Queens in 2009, it has already grown with four satellites in New York City alone and 20 across North America, with plans to open in Japan, Dubai and Frankfurt. 

The first Canadian outpost opened a few months ago, and we finally got the chance to check it out. 

Bareburger’s focus is on quality meats and product, even down to the sustainable materials used to create the interior. All animals are pasture-raised and free range and the meat is antibiotic-, gluten- and hormone- free. Organic and local produce is used whenever possible and fried items are cooked in 100 per cent non-GMO canola oil. 

They offer a wide variety of patties from duck to a sweet potato and wild rice combo. There are six salad options and the usual-suspect sides (fries, rings) but they stand out from the crowd with a slaw-and-pickle combo, “sweet” fries with a habanero sauce and a curry ginger ketchup. 

The menus in all locations are similar while offering some local twists. Here you can get poutine, of course, made with fresh Quebec curd and beef gravy. While they offer 14 composed burgers you can create your own choosing your bun (or collards), patty, cheese, bacon, vegetables, sauces and seemingly limitless spreads. 

Bareburger is also licensed and offers local craft beers including Beau’s, Junction Craft Brewing, Side Launch and Nickel Brook. They also offer cocktails and a small wine list.

For an eco-conscious burger lover, this is the perfect spot.
