La Boulette

We always have a great time at La Boulette! The vibe is fun, warm, and inviting. The staff is welcoming and the food is DELICIOUS. The fries and sweet potato fries are top notch crispy. The beef burgers are juicy. The fried chicken burger is super crunchy and well seasoned. The salads are large and full of flavor. And, when you top it all off with a nice beer…chef’s kiss.

Really good burgers, fried chicken sandwich and tartare, among other items on their simple menu that is sure to please. They also have a great wine list and delicious cocktails. The terrace is always packed because of how great the food. If you’re looking to grab a bite in Rosemont area and you’re craving a burger, this is the spot to go.

My group of five had dinner at this little eatery in the evening on a Thursday. There was a longer than expected wait to get in, about 30 minutes, but we did have a large party so I can understand that. Once we finally got inside, there was another wait for some customers to clear out (two women hanging around at a table for four, chatting, and the servers were too nervous to urge them along), which meant an extra 15 minutes before we could be fully seated. The servers came over almost immediately then to take our orders and were properly apologetic for the slow customers before us. I ordered a Classic Burger and my partner ordered the Chèvre Burger. Also at my table were two Chicken burgers and one Beaubien. The food came out almost simultaneously, less than a minute between when everyone got their plates, which was a good surprise to me. Weirdly enough though, they did not come to check on us again until it was to collect our plates. I was a little disappointed when biting into my burger. The patty had no seasoning. The lettuce was crisp and the tomatoes were juicy though, which was nice. I did not like their onions. I can understand that it's their basic burger, but the fact that it was a miss, flavor-wise, was a disappointment. I had a bite of the Chèvre Burger also ordered at my table and I found that the lamb, bacon, and cheese added a considerable amount of taste to the burger. If there's one good thing I can say about this restaurant is that the french fries are phenomenal. Extremely well seasoned and perfect temperature. Additionally, the mayo served on the side, of which I had the Chipotle and my partner the garlic one, is extremely tasty and a perfect pair to the french fries. I would definitely return to this little spot but I would probably go with a smaller party and I would definitely order something other than the Classic burger.
