If you’re like us, right now your burger cravings are hitting hard. Because let’s face it, there’s nothing better than a perfect patty. So we’re here to make sure you’re getting the best burger in Trois-Rivières. Below, you’ll find our picks for the juiciest, most satisfying burgers in town. We’ve updated this list for 2026 to guarantee every bite is worth it.
Restaurant Patachou
$ | (819) 376-9242 | WEBSITE
My family used to own a chain of diners. Like, seriously, Happy Days-style. Thankfully the business was sold before I was born, so I didn’t experience growing up in one. But my dad did, and that’s who I took my kids to Restaurant Patachou for the first time. And he, a 68-year-old man, enjoyed the retro atmosphere even more than they did (actual 8- and 10-year-old kids). Everything about this place is very nostalgic and makes me feel comfort-foody and satisfied.
Well, except for that one table-clearing guy who seemed to be having a rough day. Either way, nothing goes better with that feeling than a juicy burger, crispy fries, and a thick milkshake from Patachou.
Jack Saloon Trois-Rivières
$$ | (819) 841-2354 | WEBSITE
This 20-year-old burger joint (based on a classic saloon concept) operates in 2026, and it’s always fun to see what enduring restaurants get right. In Jack Saloon’s case, it predicted lively atmospheres long before live music started appearing in every trendy spot. And seeing the popular steak frites arrive promptly on your table is even better when paired with the carefully-prepared poutine ribs. For example, the poutine ribs, which have the perfect ratio of cheese curds to gravy to tender meat.
It’s also a nice nod to the dish you don’t end up eating if the temperature isn’t quite right. But you should definitely eat yours before the space gets too crowded – it can get pretty warm.
Ma belle province chez Edem
$ | (819) 370-6425 | WEBSITE
There are some things in this world that have an immediate comforting effect. In this case, though, I’m referring to the opening notes of “The Rainbow Connection” played by Kermit the Frog at the beginning of The Muppet Movie—not anything that comes in poutine form.
The second I see that menu, I take a deep breath and know that for the next hour, I get to sit in a warm, content state and wonder things like, “But why smoked meat spaghetti gratin?” and “Was there really a market demand in Trois-Rivières for steak submarine?” The poutine here makes me feel similarly, especially the classic version at Ma belle province chez Edem. It comes with generous portions and that mysterious squeaky cheese curds, and just the smell of the gravy makes me feel f*ckng great.
However, a pizza for dessert doesn’t seem like the worst idea either.
Le Bob
$$ | (819) 840-5202 | WEBSITE
I’ve had the pleasure of introducing Le Bob to a friend who was skeptical about burger joints. They were expecting the usual greasy fare, and it was genuinely satisfying to watch their surprise as they slowly realized how solid this place actually is. And because Le Bob offers everything from classic burgers to vegetarian options, it goes perfectly with a casual lunch outing where everyone can find something. You can go full comfort-food mode and get one of their generous burgers.
Or take a different route and try their gluten-free menu. Order Le Bob’s veggie burger that comes with crispy fries and a side salad. What’s this spot doing with such varied options on their menu? It doesn’t matter, just appreciate the flexibility.
Resto-Bar Faste-Fou
$$ | (819) 378-5861 | WEBSITE
You know what I want to do right now? I want to sit outside on a sunny terrace and eat pizza with fresh toppings and share a basket of tasty fries with homemade mayonnaise while the afternoon light warms everything around me. Yes, I want to be that person enjoying a satisfying meal at affordable prices.
This restaurant makes me think of everything great about casual dining – and like all great things in life, includes a varied menu with vegetarian options like the Enzo salad that pleases everyone at the table. Unfortunately, I can’t be there every day. So instead, I’ll settle for remembering the fast, friendly service and super ambiance while pretending to be a regular who knows exactly which pizza to order – the Faste veggie or the delux – for the evening.
Holy Burgers
$ | (819) 378-6398 | WEBSITE
From the minute you pull into one of the 24 spots right out front, it’s clear that the stakes are as high as possible: the fate of your burger craving is in question because of that legendary Holy Burgers sauce. This is the kind of smash burger I live for – one that makes me so satisfied I feel like I’m going to sigh because I’m so invested in the flavor, even with its simple perfection (this is also why I’m a burger fan).
Therefore, the best way to eat at Holy Burgers is with as little distraction as possible since there’s already a lot going on (like how can a sauce make a burger this good??). That’s why getting a classic smash burger combo is ideal – you can just hold the perfectly wrapped burger up to your mouth and mindlessly eat as you enjoy what some call the best they’ve ever had.
Harvey’s
$ | (819) 376-7874 | WEBSITE
Harvey’s is my favorite place to indulge in a burger that makes you forget about calorie counts and sensible eating. But it also possesses the same delightful chaos that you’ll find at a summer carnival. Whenever I eat here, I spend most of my time watching the seagulls dive-bomb the outdoor tables and imagining the backstories of everyone else in line, all of us united in our quest for perfectly crispy fries and meatballs cooked just right.
And even if the Boulevard des Forges traffic provides a noisy soundtrack, sitting at one of those sun-drenched patio tables with a fully customized burger, a mountain of those golden fries, and a cold drink while watching Nancy and her team work their magic is almost just as good. Just don’t try to take my last meatball, or else the story’s going to end with, “Me. At the counter. With the gift card.”
A&W Canada
$ | (819) 374-1477 | WEBSITE
Listen up: we’re all in that post-holiday slump right now. After weeks of elaborate meals and family gatherings, I can definitely relate to craving something simple, satisfying, and utterly comforting—not to mention the desire for food that doesn’t require hours of preparation. And grabbing a classic burger combo from A&W Canada is exactly what we all need. It’s the ultimate in ‘I deserve a break’ food.
Dairy Queen (Treat)
$ | (819) 376-8841 | WEBSITE
I love Dairy Queen (Treat) so much I re-named my dog Blizzard. And every time I visit, there’s something delightful that I hadn’t noticed before. Like when I realized that their Blizzard Signature with Oreos and chocolate fudge tastes even better than I remembered. I could go on about all the phenomenal treats at this location, and how there’s truly just no wasted calories at all. It’s hard not to say the same about Dairy Queen’s offerings, where everything on the menu feels essential.
Besides their consistently good food (including options for nut and peanut allergies with their Ice Cream Cake), they also provide prompt service that keeps you coming back. From chocolate lovers’ favorites to allergy-friendly choices, everything is handled with care. If you’re (understandably) craving something sweet right now, order something from Dairy Queen.
SHAKER Cuisine & Mixologie
$$ | (819) 415-2248 | WEBSITE
SHAKER Cuisine & Mixologie combines two of my favorite dining things: a lively atmosphere and consistently good food. And while some spots might be the burger GOAT, during this current evening I’ll take the excellent flank steak with its praised sauce over standard fare anytime. Basically, it’s the feel-good restaurant experience you didn’t know you needed.
And nothing goes better with the fun, professional tone of this place than one of the attentive servers delivering humorous service, and pairing it with a dessert that comes home in a nice little pot.
