Nobel Burger - Web site:

I had a red eye special to the US from the Toronto airport (YYZ). The Nobel Burger Bar in Concourse A was across from a Starbucks near Gates A15 and A16. I had gotten up at 3:30 AM and was had time for some breakfast before take off. I got the “Bacon Eggs” with eggs over easy. It came with breakfast potatoes and whole grain toast. It was all surprisingly fresh and tasty. Portions were perfect. I also got a medium coffee. It too was good much better than I expected. Service was friendly and helpful. I will happily have breakfast here again if and when I pass through Toronto.Ordering food is by touch screen at each stool. The menu was user friendly and offers photos to help people who may not speak English or French fluently understand what it is. Payment is by card reader at your bar stool. Again, really simple. The food was prepared fresh and served up hot within 5 minutes or so. The bar stools are comfortable and comfortably spaced. The vibe is welcoming and friendly.It is the best airport breakfast I’ve had anywhere. Therefore 5 stars.They also have a refrigerated self if grab and go food if you are in a hurry.

This place is terrible. Ordered a veal sandwich with a side of fries. The sandwich bread was stale, the veal over cooked and the fries hand cut were basic frozen you can get at Costco that were deep-fried. Nothing fresh about it. The menu is full of lies.

Stopped for breakfast before our flight. Very impersonal. Order through touch screen. Only saw servers briefly. To get our beverages and to receive our food. $16 for bacon and eggs each, orange juice $5 and coffee 3.75 The food itself was fine.

If there is one thing this place has going for it it 's convenience and fast service. Unlike any establishment I 've been too, you can place your order on an iPad and without any communication with a human being, your food magically arrives a short time later.<br/ <br/ Let me be clear I LOVE THIS. I can order what I want, when I want. No waiting for a server; a couple taps and bam a beer is slapped on the table. <br/ <br/ To clear things up, there is a human element involved here. A few human elements actually. That 's how I 'll break this review down. I directly interacted with 2 humans and indirectly with at least one more.<br/ <br/ Human #1 Direct<br/ <br/ Delivered my order:<br/ <br/ Cooked from fresh 6oz burger from a local farm in Blackstock, ON; not far from my home which was interesting. Topped with aged cheddar, caramelized onions and mushrooms. The burger was $16.00 which would be insane for a 6oz burger outside an airport but hey it 's and airport a water is like $5.00.<br/ <br/ $4.00 for a side of onion rings. These were actually great.<br/ <br/ Muskoka Brewery Cream Ale Tallboy for $9.50<br/ <br/ This interaction was wonderful meal delivered as expected.<br/ <br/ Human(s #2 Indirect<br/ <br/ Cooked my order:<br/ <br/ For a freshly ground, locally sourced burger, you would expect a mix of wonderful texture and flavour. The later was pulled off in spades a wonderfully flavourful burger. This can likely be attributed to the smokey flavour from the char grilling and the well cooked toppings. However, the former fell flat. The burger was tough and what I would consider over cooked. Not the worst burger considering the flavour hit the mark, but I felt disappointed after dropping $16.00 for the burger alone.<br/ <br/ Human #3 Direct<br/ <br/ Delivered more drinks and.....<br/ <br/ After finishing the meal and beer I ordered and additional beverage to pass the time before my flight. The drinks were delivered by a lovely lady to asked how the food was. I mentioned the burger was over cooked for my taste and was met with the following explanation: 'the cooks are not allowed to serve 'undercooked ' meat '. I 've had this response for a dry burger before so it was no surprise corporate establishments in fear of litigation. Listen, I understand it 's business. However, this leads me to expect that if you order a burger here, you 're more likely to receive something that resembles a hockey puck, as opposed to a moist and tender burger from a fresh, locally grown source.<br/ <br/ THE DEAL<br/ <br/ To round this all out, the server was quite empathetic and afforded free Fiji water and insisted if it was brought to her attention before I smashed the thing down (I was hungry , it would have been rectified. I don 't see how it would have been fixed to my liking as they can 't cook the burger the way that I want it, but I appreciate her empathy and the free $5.00 (see what I did there? <br/ <br/ To call yourself a 'burger bar ' Mr. McEwan of<br/ all people should know that a real fresh burger should be cooked to order.<br/ <br/ Still probably one of your better choices in the airport and the chairs are comfy.<br/ <br/ 3.5/5<br/ <br/ <br/ <br/

Breakfast on the go. Order from the provided Ipad, pay at your seat and surf the internet while you wait for your meal. Smoked salmon croissant and roasted red pepper inlets for breakfast today. Flavored are good, service is fast and polite. Only negative is the world wide overcharge policy because you are at the airport and have no other choice. But so much better than a day old donut.
