Hundy

Hundy used to operate as a burger bar inside Their There, but recently the burger pros opened up their own spot in Yaletown. Aside from awesome vibes and atmosphere, Hundy serves up a burger we could eat again and again. Beef, pickles, cheese, and Hundy sauce – what more do you need?
Address: 1144 Homer Street, Vancouver
Per Se Social Corner

The local Yaletown haunt may be best known for its Italian and Spanish-inspired eats, but it also happens to serve up a killer burger. Made with an 8 oz Blue Goose organic beef patty, fresh challah bun, melted fontina cheese, truffle aioli, and Sirah caramelized onions, you can get this offering for lunch or dinner.

Wakwak Burger (food truck)
View this post on Instagram
Whatever your thoughts on Wakwak, you can’t deny that the $2.85 price tag for a burger from this food truck is anything less than extraordinary. It may be simple, but the patty is juicy, the lettuce is crispy, and the bun is soft. If that’s not a recipe for a solid street burger, we don’t know what is.
Address: Check Facebook for location/operating hours
Pourhouse

If Beyonce was a burger, this would be it. The Hawksworth Beef Burger is a combination of applewood smoked bacon, aged cheddar, and thick, crispy fries. It’s definitely not your everyday burger, but it’s worth the splurge.

While we were sad to lose the Peaceful Restaurant location that previously operated from this address, we were equally excited to see it become a new spot for some seriously tasty burgers. Not only does Blaze have a great version of a classic (with cheese, bacon, and special sauce!), but it also has some vegan burger options and waffle fries. We couldn’t ask for much more than that!
