Toronto's Top-Ranked Burger Spots for Le Burger Week 2026

Toronto's top-ranked burger spots on RankIt — where to eat during Le Burger Week 2026 and all year long.

Updated August 6, 2026|10 restaurants|By Morgan Ellis

Le Burger Week hits Toronto every August — restaurants across the city put together limited-run creations alongside their regular menus, which makes it a reasonable week to seek out spots you have been meaning to try. The event is opt-in, so not every burger place in town participates, but the better-ranked spots tend to show up.

Here are the burger restaurants currently ranked highest in Toronto on RankIt. Worth a visit during Le Burger Week and well outside of it. For everything beyond burgers, see Toronto's overall top-ranked restaurants.

Yonge Burger

Toronto, ON

At 44 St. Clair East, Yonge Burger holds one of the top places in RankIt's Toronto burger category. The straightforward name signals the approach — this is not a gimmick-driven menu.

A clean option for the Midtown crowd, and a natural stop if Le Burger Week specials land in this part of the city.

Crack Burger Toronto

Toronto, ON

On Baldwin Street near Kensington Market, Crack Burger is one of the top-ranked burger spots in Toronto's RankIt data. The location puts it in a dense food corridor where competition for attention is real — placing high there means something.

Le Burger Week tends to reward spots with a focused operation. This fits that profile.

Simple Burger (Bathurst St.)

Toronto, ON

374 Bathurst Street, just south of Bloor. Simple Burger is tied for the top of the burger category in RankIt's Toronto dataset. The name is not ironic; the concept is deliberately focused.

If you are in the Annex or Kensington area during Le Burger Week, this is worth adding to the circuit.

The Burger Shop

Toronto, ON

On Queen Street West at 960, The Burger Shop is a small operation in a stretch known for independent food spots. It ranks well above the bulk of Toronto burger spots.

The Queen West location makes it a practical stop on any west-end burger crawl during the week.

Burger Republic

Toronto, ON

At 1171 Dundas West in Little Portugal, Burger Republic is one of the more established spots in the neighbourhood's burger category. It sits well above most of the Toronto burger list.

Worth pairing with a stop at The Burger Shop if you are building a west-end Le Burger Week route.

Gladiator Burger — Etobicoke

Toronto, ON

At 1020 Islington Avenue, Gladiator Burger is one of the higher-placed burger spots west of the city core. Etobicoke does not always get covered in Toronto food media the way downtown corridors do, but the ranking here reflects consistent output.

If you are heading out to Etobicoke during Le Burger Week, this is the most obvious anchor stop in the area.

Happy Burger — Queen St. East

Toronto, ON

At 689 Queen East, Happy Burger is one of the top-ranked burger options in the east end of the city. The east-end burger scene gets less coverage than Kensington or Queen West, but the rankings suggest the quality is there.

A natural stop for anyone exploring the Riverside or Leslieville area during Le Burger Week.

Firefly Burger Toronto

Toronto, ON

On Yonge just south of Dundas, Firefly Burger is one of the more centrally located dedicated burger spots in the database. Downtown positioning means it catches foot traffic all week without needing a destination-dining draw.

A practical choice for weekday Le Burger Week visits when you want something close to the core.

Burger Drops

Toronto, ON

116 Atlantic Avenue in Liberty Village. Burger Drops holds its place in a neighbourhood that has seen significant restaurant turnover — staying near the top of that list takes some doing.

Liberty Village can be quiet on weekends; this is worth timing well if you are visiting the area during Le Burger Week.

Ozzy's Burgers Toronto

Toronto, ON

On Nassau Street in Kensington Market, Ozzy's is a compact burger spot in one of the city's most food-dense neighbourhoods. It rounds out a Toronto burger list that stretches from Midtown to the east end, the west end, downtown, and Etobicoke.

Worth stopping in during Le Burger Week if you are already making the Kensington rounds — the area is busy during the event and Ozzy's gives you a reliable anchor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Le Burger Week typically runs for approximately one week in late August or early September. Check the official Le Burger Week website for confirmed 2026 Toronto dates, as specific dates and participating restaurants are announced closer to the event.

Do all of these restaurants participate in Le Burger Week?

Not necessarily. Le Burger Week is an opt-in event — restaurants register to participate and create a limited special burger for the week.

Yes. This list includes spots in Etobicoke (Gladiator Burger), east-end Toronto (Happy Burger), and Kensington Market (Ozzy's Burgers, Crack Burger). RankIt's broader restaurant rankings cover the full city, including neighbourhoods that do not always appear in downtown-focused food coverage.
