I live right near Emily but afaik their burger, while well-regarded, uses a mayo-based sauce which is not something I’m really interested in i guess it kinda depends on how you define "really good" but oh god there are so many. pubs and stuff are usually a good bet, but some of the smaller local chains are real good too

there is also a club of people (some of whom are acquaintances) who basically go to every burger spot, order like a hamburger or cheeseburger and rank em and put em on a map, only the top rankers stay on the map (assuming they also stay in business) https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1mSaZo6Rk6yZkYId7uHjxBS2Oiys&shorturl=1&ll=40.77586776509706%2C-73.93064600000001&z=12 useful edit: oooh donovans pub is also a good one that's in woodside though Share Bear fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Apr 12, 2023 |

there's a place in ottawa i've had the luxury of dining at a couple of times called atelier. it's one of the best restaurants in the country. super creative chef, does a lot of innovative and modern tasting menus. we did the nye menu one year which was insane and at one course the chef (the unfortunately named marc lepine) came out and just sort of made it rain black truffle onto everyone's plates with a fancy hand grater thats my truffle story thank you for coming to my ted talk also was well past buzzed that night even though i ordered the half portion alcohol pairing because the sommelier was a cool dude who just decided to keep filling 'er all the way up
