Manhattan's Handmade Burgers - Ottawa

The staff at Manhattans are always busy and cheerful. This takeaway restaurant is bustling from opening until closing. If you enjoy a filling breakfast or a satisfying burger, this place is perfect for you. There are plenty of choices and everything is made to order. The prices are reasonable too. The food is delicious but high in calories, so I don't visit often. However, I have enjoyed everything I've tried.

I am a fan of poutine and I can confidently say that this restaurant serves the best in town. The gravy is delicious and they use real cheese curds which, combined with the fresh fries, creates the perfect combination. The only downside is that it's not the healthiest option.

On Friday for lunch I made a return trip to Manhattan's Handmade Burgers 407 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa but to a different location from last time .   On my last visit to a Manhattan's I noted that the burgers themselves were pretty good with the fries rivalling Swiss Chalet despite claiming to be handmade.  Would this location, across the street and a block away in a food court from the previous, do better, worse or the same  Let's find out. I visited the Minto Place Food Court located on the Northwest corner of Laurier Avenue West Kent Street to find the Manhattan's.   My wife accompanied me on this visit, but had already had lunch and had already previously visited this Manhattan's location previously.  We arrived at 12:50 P.M. to find the food court, as you would expect in the downtown of any nation's capital, full of government workers on lunch. We found an empty table right away where I left my wife and I headed over to the Manhattan's counter to join the line. This Ma

The location is fairly easy to access, parking can be a little bit tough. Other then that walk inside 407 Laurier and it's just straight ahead in the food court. Good burgers and frys. Fair price.

I cannot believe I didn't find this place sooner! Poutine was 5/5. Hospitality was great, they accept tips and make great food. Will definitely return! Oh and for the price you get nearly double the quantity. A poutine that costs $12 at New York Fries in Rideau vs Manhattan $12 poutine you get waaaay more fries and gravy
