Whether it's a sizzling beef patty smothered in cheese, spicy fried chicken, or plant-based, burgers allow for a lot of creativity - and good eating. Burger fans, take note: is poised to offer 14 glorious days of burger-eating opportunities to Metro Vancouver.
Taking place from Sept.1 to 14, 2023, Le Burger Week will have over 1,000 restaurants across Canada showcasing their most tastebud-tempting burger creations.
Locally, you'll find 17 burgers at restaurants in Vancouver, Richmond, and Surrey featured during this popular annual choose-your-own-adventure event.
There's pretty much a burger for everyone included this year. You can head to all of the MeeT restaurants to try different all-veggie options at each location, test your spice tolerance with a spicy fried chicken from ChirpyHut, or try a burger with grilled cheese sandwich buns. Hunt down food trucks for burgers, or work a burger into your next visit to the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Aquarium. Feeling ambitious? Richmond's posh Bruno is doing a Tomahawk pork chop burger (for $32).
Le Burger Week’s overall mission has always been to support local restaurants by increasing their sales and awareness through festival participation. That makes your task clear: Go eat a burger (or two...or more).
