Around Vancouver in 52 Restaurants > Americas > U.S.A.
Nothing says “American” like a burger and fries, and in Vancouver that means Moderne Burger. Juicy ground steak with the usual fixings; lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and house sauce and topped with an olive for panache. Fries are hand-cut and salty, greasy, good. I like a vanilla milkshake with it because how can you not when it’s made in an old school machine and comes in a glass and a half? This is the kind of food that makes you nostalgic for the time you’re having.

It takes a while for the food (and especially the milkshakes) to come, but it’s worth it and the portions are big enough to sate any hunger you worked up in the meantime.
I have to admit I’m not much of a burger person, but when it comes down to it, I’m partial to the White Spot. For something fancier, you could try the $28 DB Bistro Moderne burger (no relation to Moderne Burger despite the name and being a block away from each other); top sirloin, filled with braised short ribs and black truffle. Swoon.

Moderne Burger and White Spot are my favourites too! At MB, I like to order the Cherry Coke with my burger.

As an American, I totally agree that that combo is “All-American.” But the olive on-top of the bun has got to go! Blasphemy!

if you are a girl eating with a man friend, just get the fries with one burger. two burgers with fries are way too much. but everything tasted awesome.
