A Mean Burger at Marben (Toronto, ON)

After having some nice sparkling (and oysters for some of us) at Crush Wine Bar, we decided that we should go for dinner in a more...food oriented environment. Going to Marben was a no brainer as they are nearby and they serve great food.

The four of us were lucky enough to find a place at the kitchen table. One of my friends is a regular and he always manage to find a seat in the kitchen area. It is needless to say that it was a show. The chef was preparing the batch of hamburgers for the week. The kitchen was busy but not too hectic so we had the chance to chat with the guys and more importantly, watch them working. We got a free sample (leftovers) of the beet salad. It was very good!

After I saw how they make their burger I had to have one. It was very juicy and delish. I could not finish all but I loved it! I did not like much the fries but I usually don't eat fries, so I guess it was ok. Funny enough, three of us ordered the burger. We had a great time and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon (suggestion of our waiter).

So bad they changed their menu and I could not have their to-die-for lavender creme brûlée.

I adore the kitchen crew at Marben. They rock!






















Oh, these are the famous dollar oysters from Crush:
