Restaurant Copoli

The burger is very good. Right place at the right time. This place has improved quite a bit.

Tonight I had a great «TGIF» dinner date with my Mom. Copoli’s is in a convenient location for both of us (5181 Boulevard de Maisonneuve O in NDG) so I can now finally say that I have actually had a meal while sitting IN the restaurant. While I have ordered and have gone to get take-​out before, it was really nice to enjoy the actual restaurant.
Copoli’s is known for the «Copoli burger». On their menu, they have a «what you see it was you get» photo of the 8″ burger which means it is the real size of the burger and it honestly looks like the burger is bigger than my face. It’s huge. I haven’t tried anything else from Copoli’s yet because I am so in love with the Copoli Bacon Cheeseburger. They make home made buns and it is served with french fries and Copoli sauce. It always tastes amazing. It always leaves me with leftovers so it is almost like you get two or three meals. I definitely know why they are said to have «The Biggest & Most Delicious Burger in Montréal».
My mom had the Steak & Pepperoni Sub and she really enjoyed it. All of the subs are served with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, italian dressing and mozzarella cheese. She let me bring some of it home and it tasted SO good (yes, I came home from supper and just continued to eat– the food is that good).
Copoli’s serves a variety of Italian dishes too, such as 10 types of pizza, Brochettes, Souvlaki, Pasta, Sandwiches, Salads, Poutine, Soup, Smoked Meat, the list goes on and on.
The service was fast and the staff is always very friendly. The restaurant offers a very relaxed atmosphere and if you sit near the window you can look past the Vendome metro station, past the train station and see the new MUHC.
I think everyone should try Copoli’s at least once, especially for the famous Copoli burger. For more information, call them at (514) 483‑0000, visit their official site and be sure to like their Facebook Page.

Wish that we could give no stars for the ridiculous lack of service… but I suppose one star is for the lady who we dealt with… she was polite at least.
So here is what happened. We ATTEMPTED to order from this place in Februray. It is not more than a 10 minute drive away and we ordered on a Tuesday evening… so in theory they should not have been very busy. Was told to expect delivery in about a half an hour at most.
After 45 minutes we called and asked if it would be long. «On its way should be there any second…» and was told our order left the restaurant about 20 minutes before. We confirmed the address and buzzer code. They had it right.
After another 15 minutes. called back again. Was told that it should be there and was asked if we were sure we hadn’t received it. (I think we would know if we had received it… we would have had food to eat instead of listening for the door buzzer over our increasingly loud growling tummies.)
After another 20 minutes had passed we called back and said that we were no longer interested in eating what would be cold food… mm mm cold and probably soggy french fries and cold burgers… yep… THAT sounds appetizing. The lady we were dealing with at first sounded surprised that we would cancel (I suppose that we were jumping the gun at an hour and twenty minutes … I wonder what her cut off time is to cancel — two hours? 4.5 hours? A week?) and then she was appropriately apologetic and offered a 10 percent discount for the NEXT time we ordered… Obviously we would be expected to pay in full for the meal that was still MIA when, or if, it ever showed up.
Really? A discount for the NEXT time? Like we were going to do this again? Not bloody likely. We told them that they needed to call the driver that we would not be accepting the food and we were cancelling our order and proceeded to called Nikas on Sherbrooke instead (who were here in 20 minutes with piping hot food). Skip Copoli… order from Nikas if you live in NDG area… their burgers are tasty and fresh… and you won’t be staring out the window while your tummy growls in hunger waiting for food that is being given a scenic tour of the area.

Its a huge burger, that doesn’t taste like anything. at all. the bread is dry, the meat is dry. It’s just to fill you up for the hell of filling your tummy with something that tastes like nothing. French fries are not crispy at all. Staff are nice, all smiling and stuff but the food is-​I don’t know what else to add. Absolutely disappointed.

I don’t know where all the super harsh criticism is coming from. It’s not your normal burger, its a Capoli burger. Yeah its the size of your head, but thats also because it’s super flat and fairly dry. Its a decent burger, its just not one of those big beefy burgers with the soft buns that everyone is used to.

The worst pizza I’ve had in a long time. Worse than Delissio. I came here because I was starving and honestly, I should have just gone home. Had to wait for 25 minutes anyway.
Had a chance to see some of their other creations being made, and it’s not pretty. This is one of those places that are rare in other large Canadian cities but still exist in Montréal, where the food is actually BAD. Like, below reasonable standards of quality.
Conclusion: never again.

Good food, nice people, decent prices. Everytime I’ve gone they always had English and French people as opposed to what another reviewer said.

I would give this place negative stars but I’m not given that option. Actually, my preferred rating would be ‘1 Bulldozer’, but that also is not an option, so here we go. 1 very undeserved star.
We were in town visiting a friend down the street and 4 of us stopped by here for lunch on the way to the Metro. There isn’t much in the area, and this placed advertised a proprietary ‘Copoli Burger’ with some sort of optimism, so we thought we’d give it a try. After all, who can screw up a burger?
These guys. These guys can screw up a burger, and they can screw it up with painstaking efficiency and utter contempt. I asked about the ‘Copoli sauce’, which the server said was just a mixture of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise or something like that. Since I’m a no-​mayo kind of guy, I figured it wouldn’t be too much to ask for just the standard ketchup/​mustard on the burger. To the server it seemed like a standard no-​hassle request. Awesome. I couldn’t wait for this seemingly giant tasty-​looking burger.
What I received was a large burger almost spitefully slathered with mayonnaise. For some context here, there was only one other table in the place, and they already had their food., so the margin for error or confusion here is very narrow. The other burger recipient at the table received their standard burger with just a standard amount of mayonnaise. So I flag the server, who was super nice during all of this, and show her the burger. Without even looking at it she said there was no mayo on it, but I didn’t even have to lift up the bun to show her this ‘mysterious’ white ooze coming out of it. She offers to take it back and bring me a new one. This is where things get downright offensive.
Through the corner of my eye I can see the cook (who I am pretty sure is the owner, and the father of our server) take the burger back to the counter and throw the bun in the garbage. Where is the rest of the burger? I wonder. Surely that would go in the garbage too. Nope! There he is, scraping away the mayonnaise with none other than paper towel. He is clearly oblivious that with a small restaraunt, what he is doing is visible to all the customers. Maybe he does realize it, and just doesn’t care. Either way, I am brought what I am expected to believe is a new burger, and again, I didn’t even have to take the bun off to ask what all the white stuff was still all over the bacon. He must have missed that with the paper towel.
At this point I refuse any further burgers and I can tell the server is pretty embarassed. The cook/​owner/​father at no point during all of this even attempts to make eye contact (we are like 10 feet away) or offers any glimpse of shame or even recognition of how messed up this is. I watch the rest of my friends finish eating their pepperoni pizza, which had been unexpectedly dusted in sesame seeds, and I left hungry.
I’m not one for gentrification, but if someone bulldozed this place and put up a condo, I wouldn’t be sad.

The burger was really good, I really liked the dressing but i think it was ketchup and mustard but with something else anyways the poutine would have probably been tastier if we ate it fresh since we ordered it, we pretty much got a warm poutine. I would probably eat from there again but unfortunately not any time soon!!!

This is where I go when I just need something extra-​heavy to stuff down the hatch. The fries are crap, no getting around that, pure greasy starch with no flavor (only tolerable doused in ketchup/​whatever you like to dip with), but the burger! Smooshed flat and wide, topped with something resembling Thousand Island plus lettuce and tomato (and cheese and bacon if you want)…it’s very satisfying, let’s put it that way. Burgers are seasoned distinctively, which is a nice touch. About $ 11 for a cheeseburger and fries after taxes, but it could well be the only thing you need to eat all day, so it’s not an everyday thing but it isn’t exorbitant.
They do speak perfectly satisfactory English, and the service isn’t anything special but it’s fine for what it is.

disgusting food. No condiments. Terrible service. Nobody speaks English or French here. It’s supposed to be Italian but no Italian food on menu… gigantic expensive hamburgers
