Best Homemade Burgers

If you’re looking for the best burger near me or the best homemade burgers in Vancouver, Northern Cafe is your destination. Nestled in the heart of the city atop a lumber yard, our cozy diner is a local favorite. Our homemade burgers are more than just a meal—they’re an experience. Learn why our burgers are a must-try and what sets them apart from the rest.


Our Secret to Burger Perfection

At Northern Cafe, we believe the key to an amazing burger starts with top-notch ingredients. That’s why we use 100% Canadian AAA ground Sirloin beef, ensuring that every patty is packed with the best quality. Each burger is hand-shaped, seasoned with a special blend of herbs and spices that bring out the beef’s natural, juicy flavours.

We grill each beef patty to perfection, creating a slightly crispy crust on the outside while keeping it juicy and tender on the inside. It’s a cooking technique that locks in all the flavours, making every bite a delicious explosion of taste.


Fresh, Local Goodness

But a great burger is more than just a juicy patty. It’s about the whole package. That’s why at Northern Cafe, we use only the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients for all our toppings. 

We top our burgers with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and tangy pickles, all bought locally. These toppings add a fresh crunch and a burst of flavour that perfectly complement our juicy beef patties. And to top it all off, we melt a generous sliced cheddar or swiss cheese over the patty and finish it with our signature homemade sauces.
