Chez Lucien

“Chez Lucien's burger is legendary in Ottawa for a reason. Hand-formed patty, simple toppings, cooked on a flat top with a perfect crust. The fries are hand-cut and crispy. No pretension, just an excellent burger and beer idk”

“No seafood option at all. Not even a fish sandwich. It's a burger joint so I get it, but a weekly fish special would give regulars something different. The kitchen clearly has skills beyond burgers.”

“The simplicity of the burger was its strength. Good beef, proper cooking, melted cheese, fresh bun. No truffle oil, no fancy sauce, no pretension. Sometimes the best food is the most honest food. This burger is honest”

“No Asian-inspired option which is fine for a burger institution. But a bulgogi burger or a teriyaki option would be a fun weekly special without changing the identity”
