Here are all the Montreal spots participating in Le Cheeseburger Week (PHOTOS)

Things are getting pretty cheesy in Montreal this week.

And it’s the good kind.

The city-wide burger festival has kicked off in Montreal and it might be time to pull out those stretchy pants.

Le Burger Week has been operating since 2012, and the burger-palooza is taking on cheeseburgers this time around with 33 spots around Montreal participating in the annual event.

• Dairy Queen announces new fall blizzard flavours
• Krispy Kreme just launched all of its seasonal fall doughnuts

The event, which was inaugurated in Montreal, has gone national for the 2020 edition as restaurants from all over the country put their own spin on the classic meal.

Each spot will offer a special creation, typically offered at a special “burger price” for the public to taste.

Le Burger Week is now in its ninth year, and the 2020 edition will replace the traditional call to vote for the best burgers with a call to help through the charity partnerships. A portion of proceeds from select burgers sold in Canada this year will be going to Centraide and United Way.

Here is a selection of all the participating spots around the 514, along with their burger creation’s name and price.
