If you're into burger diners, check out "Dillalo Burger", it's a burger diner style restaurant in Ville Emard just off Monk Metro.

Incidentally I hit their branch location of this Italian burger place over at Jean Talon E. and Papineau. Did a double burger. Found it fully cooked through overly like any mass chain burger would be. I had grilled onions added which helped. I love how they offer how your bun is prepped... plain (never) steamed, grilled or with meat juiices. wow.
I'd advise for steamed or with meat juices (for anyone's burger) that's how a burger ought to be so the bun melds into the meat and cheese (hate the want of new age burger places stacking the burger two miles high for the vertical wow affect which is useless since the bun is dry and puffy).
The double patty, needed more seasoning, in particular it would be a shake of salt to bring out more of the beef flavor. The patty was the same color on the outside and the inside, just gray. The texture of the meat was really smooth, not packed too tight.
I say all this because I hit the Greenspot yesterday.
I also decided to try their Poutine as well. I took a classic and added extra cheese option and grilled onions, they weren't browned onions, just lightly cooked so still white rings.
Now to Greenspot. Which is more than just a burger place. This place was packed with patrons. The waitresses work hard here. Situated on the awesome intersection of Greene and Notre Dame, with lol McD and a third burger place, I thought boy this place must be good...
I ordered two burgers. Man, if it wasn't holding all dressed w/ their brined coleslow... it'd be hard to swallow. The patty, though a tad more flavor than Dilallo, darkened on the outside and gray on the inner and salted a bit better, it also was more than cooked through, it was beyond. The meat was tight and dry, like a hockey puck and had more gristle bits to the chew. The meat was smaller than the bun (unlike Dilallo). My second burger on the order was the same, tight dry patty.
Fries were sharp potato roasted aroma, rustic.
I could not help but notice from afar, 1 of the busy waitresses, tall, long neck, very skinny cropped hair brunette. Beautiful pale complexion with cheekbones running back to her ears. She knows the deal, she heavily accented them with some pink blush.
This place is not very far from one of the agency incalls.
