GBurger Manotick: Fresh Beef, Housemade Buns, and a Retro Vibe Worth the Drive

There are burger places, and then there are places that actually care about the burger. GBurger Manotick is the second kind.

Tucked into Beaverwood Road at the Manotick Mews, GBurger (part of the Gitanes Burger family) brings a chef-driven approach to what could easily be a commodity product. The result is one of the best burgers in south Ottawa — and one of Manotick's top-rated restaurants.

What Makes It Different

The beef comes from Enright Cattle Co. — a local Ontario farm known for quality. The buns are made in-house. The space has a genuine retro diner feel: tiled floors, counter seating, a menu board that actually has character. It doesn't feel like a chain and it doesn't try to.

What to Order

Start with the Cherry Bomb. Get the spicy curly fries. If you're gluten-free, note that they have dedicated GF bun options and a separate fryer — something most burger spots don't bother with.

They're also on Uber Eats if you'd rather eat on your porch with the Rideau River somewhere in the background.

If you haven't been yet, this weekend is a good time to fix that.
