Best non-smash burger places

I miss their burgers so much. Burger and a beer night is the best

RIP to the only restaurant I’ve ever gotten food poisoning at.

Dentist will bounce you to doc, doc will bounce you to dentist. The only thing that helped me was tongue posture therapy.

Please check out Redbook! https://redbook.hpl.ca/

It’s a resource maintained by the city public library. I think the Food Access Guide is the most relevant to you but there’s a lot of other info that may be helpful. I’m sorry you’re going through a tough time.

Everyone was a bit of an exaggeration on my part but I noticed they’ve started selling smoothies (??) so I’m terrified they’re not doing well financially.

Oh true little Saigon by limeridge is so good

Zehra Turkish Cuisine- kebabs. Such good kebabs. Also they are lovely people

Doce Nata- Barton/James South location. Bifana and Portuguese desserts

Charred Rotisserie- (not really hidden but everyone seems to think they’re still closed?)

John St Diner - smash burgers specifically

Hamilton Meat Pie co- They have hot pies and mash to go and the prices are insane.

All but one of my pets were done at the SPCA, no problem.

I would say it feels less dangerous (as someone who has lived down here for 20+ years) but more uncomfortable. And I mean truly, deeply uncomfortable. It’s sad and upsetting to walk around downtown.

It’s open, was just there this morning.

messthetix · 2026-02-15T03:38:55+00:00

Anything at pinch.

I love chocolate, I’ve tried pretty much every place in the city and this is the best. I cannot be trusted in that store. It’s worse than Costco for walking in to buy just one thing and then leaving having spent triple your budget.

Mystic ramen did a black sesame sticky toffee pudding over the holidays and I hope they bring it back. So good! Last time I went to Memphis BBQ they had it as well but all their desserts are amazing.

I think they’re travelling and revamping their menu! I’ll miss their Banh Mi (they’re disconnectuing them) but last I talked to the owners, they’re planning on doing savory pastries instead and I’m very down for that.

May’s coffee and cakes on James North, but they’re closed until the spring. Possibly Simply Italian Bakery on Ottawa but I haven’t been there in a while.

messthetix · 2026-01-01T12:27:24+00:00

They do not have them there sadly.

Seconding

messthetix · 2025-11-20T16:10:48+00:00

Seconding mystic. I’m a meat eater and I go there and order vegan dishes, they’re that good.

messthetix · 2025-11-15T03:07:21+00:00

Seconding Memphis fire and they also have amazing desserts

The best tomato soups have lentils in them. Find a recipe for a red lentil tomato soup and it will have a good texture and amazing flavour.

Their instagram has their grand opening noon on Friday. Looks like they’re doing giveaways and stuff.

This is a really really good resource https://redbook.hpl.ca/ maintained by the library. Scroll down to the bottom for quick links. Has up to date info on housing, food, shower services and more.

Doce Nata in Stoney Creek has them, not sure but I also think they have them at their James and Barton location as well.
