The QDC Burger Experience
For restaurateur Peter Morentzos, COVID-19 may have marked the end of La Queue de Cheval Steakhouse and Raw Bar on Avenue de la Montagne. However, the pandemic did not result in a total loss. In 2014, while preparing to reopen La Queue in a new building, Morentzos launched a new brand called QDC Burger in the back alley on Avenue de la Montagne. It was such a hit that the burgers were added to the regular La Queue menu and standalone locations were opened at 210 St. Viateur Ouest in the Mile End District and at Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport in Dorval.
Morentzos is currently focusing on the St. Viateur location, as the airport branch has been closed since spring. I recently picked up a family order and can attest to how fabulous these burgers are. The classic half-pound burger with fries went first to my mom’s house, followed by selections for my household including Lefty’s Burger, the Steakhouse Burger, and the Jefferson. I also added a lobster roll sandwich for the following day as a special treat.
Expansion is underway. Another location will open in Old Montreal by the end of November, followed in December by what Morentzos calls a “dream spot” downtown on Cyprus Street, between Peel and Stanley, near Le Windsor ballrooms. In the spring, QDC Burger will arrive on trendy Monkland Avenue in NDG.
