L’Abattoir
We’d argue this is one of the best brunch burgers in Vancouver, and it’s easy to see why. Available during this Gastown haunt’s weekend brunch service, the Breakfast Burger is a layered delight which features a hashbrown patty, a fried egg, and a quarter pound patty.

If Beyonce was a burger, this would be her. The Hawksworth Beef Burger is a combination of applewood smoked bacon, aged cheddar, and thick, crispy frites. For $23 it’s definitely not your everyday burger, but it’s worth the splurge. This dish is only available during lunch service.

Special Mention
Wakwak Burger
Whatever you’re thoughts on Wak Wak, you can’t deny that the $2.85 price tag for a burger form 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 hella soft. If that’s not a recipe for a solid street burger, we don’t know what is.
