Rust Bistrobar is a lively restaurant in Burlington for brunch, dinner, or a tall glass of beer. They’re team of of chefs have the expertise to create memorable meals that will have you coming back for more.

Looking for a hearty meal to get your day going? Check out Rust’s brunch menu! This menu is split into two sections – ‘Sweet Things’, and ‘Savoury Things’. Savoury items include items such as their Chorizo Eggs Benedict in the image above. Their Benedicts have the option of substituting a crab cake instead of the poached egg.

If you prefer to start your day sweet instead of savoury, why not try these delicious Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes as shown in the image below? These pancakes are so fluffily flavourful that you won’t even need maple syrup on them. Add a refreshing glass of orange juice, and it’s the perfect sweet breakfast.

Did you know that Rust doesn’t use beef in their burgers? The meat patty shown in the picture below is actually made of Bison and Boar! This gives a gamey taste to the classic cheeseburger that really sets it apart. Similarly, their butter isn’t made from milk, either! Instead, Rust’s burgers use a marmalade made from shallots! This brings a whole new dimension of flavour to the table.

Shallots are definitely one of Rust’s strong suits. They bring out the seafood’s flavour so that it gives off a distinctively delicate taste. These shallots are put on top of a slice of braised pork belly. Once eaten, both the shallot and the pork are so soft that it will melt in your mouth into pure delight. This combination brings you a dish that’s out of this world, and we would definitely recommend giving it a shot.

If you’re looking for a tall glass of beer after a long, hard day, Beertown is the perfect place to go. Beertown has been a staple restaurant chain in Canada for over a decade, providing independently-brewed craft beer along with an ever changing mouthwatering menu. Burlington’s very own Beertown is located down Appleby Line right before Upper Middle Road.

Beertown has an incredibly wide choice of starter options. Yearlong, you’re free to help yourselves to wings ($18.50), calamari ($19), fish tacos ($14), and more. For us, the highlight of their starters are their poutine. Beertown takes great pride in their poutine, going as far as to label theirs as ‘Proper Poutine’ ($13). This consists of fresh russet fries and cheese curds drowned in beef gravy.

Beertown’s menu is always changing, constantly providing mouthwatering limited time options. An example of this is their fried chicken poutine ($20), which adds crisply seasoned bites of fried chicken and bacon to a poutine with chives & aoili instead of gravy. This was available multiple times in the past as a limited-time option, and is bound to come back in the future.

Beertown’s burgers and sandwiches are incredibly popular, and for good reason. The buns are perfectly toasted, the patties are exploding with flavour, and each topping is added with perfect care. Best of all – they go together perfectly with a glass of beer! We recommend their Brie, Bacon + Black Truffle Burger ($23.50), which comes with Parmesan truffle fries.

Brunch

On weekends, Beertown serves brunch! Head on over from 10 AM to 2 PM to explore their delicious brunch menu. First, you should definitely check out their Brewer’s Breakfast ($16.50). 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, beans, fries, and a pile of toast for you to dip in cheese sauce. This’ll be sure to kick your morning into gear.

Another item you should check out on their Brunch menu is their Beertown Benedict ($17.50). It consists of 2 poached eggs, peameal bacon and a slice of tomato drizzled in house-made chipotle hollandaise on top of a toasted biscuit. Additionally, you could also try their special Santa Barbara Benedict ($16.50) which adds half an avocado, chives, and basil hollandaise.

Beertown has plenty of sweets & treats available in gluten friendly and vegan options. You can find brownies, ice cream, pudding, and fruit crumbles, to dig into after your meal. Our favourite is their Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake ($10), with smooth whipped cream and a crunchy chocolate cookie crust.
