Burgers have been around for many decades and nowadays come in many over the top varieties. Yet, we feel the best burgers are the ones that try to keep things fairly simple and not overloaded with an abundance of toppings to justify a heft price tag.
After a year of careful and delicious research, we have compiled our list of the 10 best burgers in Vancouver.
