Retro Getaways in Laval

Gray, monotonous days have a nasty habit of dragging on without any spark, as if waiting for something to liven them up. Why not take matters into your own hands and inject a little color into them? Immerse yourself in the warm, nostalgic vibe of the retro era by planning a restaurant crawl that will breathe new life into the atmosphere.

The Smash Burger for Everyone

The first stop on this comforting tour: OG Burger, the paradise of the American Smash Burger. The Smash what? The Smash Burger is a burger where the patty is completely flattened—or smashed against the grill, if you prefer. So, these special burgers are served in an intimate setting reminiscent of classic diners from the ’50s and ’60s, accompanied by crispy homemade fries or a poutine generously topped with fresh cheese.

Milkshakes, burgers, and Elvis

Destination number two: Jukebox Burgers in Laval. Settle in comfortably on one of the vinyl booths and fully immerse yourself in the 1950s. Pick a song from one of the jukeboxes, order with a group of friends, and voilà—you’ll be transported to the America of Elvis.

On the menu, you’ll find all the classics from that era: customizable burgers, gourmet poutines, wraps, and old-fashioned desserts. The menu is packed with creamy milkshakes, homemade pies, and butter cookies with melted chocolate. After that, you’re sure to be in a great mood.

Psst! If you're short on time, take advantage of their takeout window: order and enjoy your meal on the go.

Dinner and delicatessen

Finish up your little outing at Nickels Laval, a staple for smoked meat lovers. In a setting reminiscent of the ’60s, smoked meat sandwiches (grilled meats, salads, and pizzas) are served with a mountain of golden fries… in fact, all the portions are more than generous. And those with a sweet tooth are in for a treat, as the menu is packed with delicious, old-school desserts. But of them all, the famous Céline cake (moist chocolate, hello) is definitely the best.
