Step back in time at Moderne Burger, a 1940s diner with flirtatious flair. Opened in 2001, this retro-vibe restaurant will satiate any desire for the freshest burgers, crispiest fries and tastiest milkshakes in town, blended to perfection. Inside, the design is a throwback to another era, with checkerboard floors, cozy vinyl booths and chrome finishes that remind you of grandma’s kitchen table.

Peter Kokinis started Moderne Burger when he was unable to source the exact burger that he wanted in restaurants. “Simply put, I couldn’t get the hamburger I wanted,” says Peter. “Every time I went out, I got a bun that was a week old and out of a bag and a patty that fell apart… Everybody missed what fresh was about.” With a passion for art moderne style, Peter set to creating the perfect blend of his passions: art and food. He maintains a limited menu of fries, shakes and various burgers, but those choice menu items are done incredibly well. “Burgers are in our blood,” Peter says. “This is what we do.”

Their creamsicle milkshake is great, food is pretty good, have gone back a few times making the 35minute commute. Have never been disappointed with the food or service.

Great Concept Needing Better Food

Moderne Burger is a very hip, very funky little eatery on the West side of Vancouver. Located in the bustling Broadway corridor they have an excellent location and a fun and nostalgic 50's diner theme and feel. True to their theme they have fabulous fountain drinks like orange creams, vanilla rootbeer, floats and really really good milkshakes. They also offer really good perfectly cooked fresh-cut french fries. The operation seems to be a family affair and the service is excellent. So what's the problem? Sadly, the burgers. They tout their burgers as having no preservatives or seasonings of any kind. The preservative part we like but the lack of seasoning does nothing to improve the taste of hamburger meat. A little salt? A dash of pepper? A soupcon of cumin or paprika? All of these would go a long way to improving the taste of the burger. As it stands today I would happily pop in to stuff my face with the fries and shakes but don't know that I would order a burger there again.

Creative and crave-worthy burgers in Kitsilano

Creative and crave-worthy burgers in Kitsilano

For a top-quality straightforward burger, try this retro-style diner under the neon plan tree sign at West Broadway and Larch. This local institution serves all the diner classics: burgers, shakes, cherry soda, and French fries that are hand cut to order. Your handmade steak burger will come dressed with their house sauce and traditional toppings on a fresh-baked bun. Pile on the extras like grilled mushrooms or grilled onions. Alternatively, opt for their veggie patty, ground turkey or wild salmon fillet versions.

This slick and shiny diner in Kitsilano is all about retro nostalgia. It’s clear in their design and décor of neon and vintage pin-up girl posters and in their pared-back menu: burgers, fries, sodas and shakes. They put a twist on tradition, though, with Coffee-Mocha and Chocolate-Covered Cherry flavours, but pull at our drugstore-soda-shop memories by offering malts in these flavours as well. Grab two straws and put a quarter in the jukebox, you’re being transported to the ‘50s.

From basic to bold, great burgers in Vancouver

From basic to bold, great burgers in Vancouver

A retro malt shop from another era, Moderne Burger will have you feeling nostalgic with its 1950s-inspired decor (think vinyl booths, checked black and white flooring, and the requisite jukebox) and its simple burger shop menu. Classic hand-pressed patties are made with single-cut beef and are topped in a straightforward fashion with lettuce, tomato, red onion, mayo and house sauce. If you wanna get a little fancy, try adding cheddar and grilled onions, or bacon strips and homemade barbecue sauce. A generous pile of fresh-cut made-to-order French fries and a creamy vanilla milkshake are ideal accompaniments.
