Dic Ann's (Marché Central)

Since 1954, Dic Ann’s has been a Montreal icon, thanks to its ultra-thin patties, toasted buns, and signature tomato-based sauce. Founded by Dominic “Dic” Potenza and Ann Collecchia, Dic Ann’s remains true to its roots, delivering straightforward burgers in a unique style that hasn’t changed in over six decades. No frills, no Coca-Cola, and no sauce on the side—it’s just burgers as Dic envisioned: fast, flavourful, and like nothing else in the city.

Dic Ann’s success is still a family affair. Potenza’s grandchildren, Delbina and Anthony, now oversee multiple franchises and a food truck, maintaining Dic’s original vision of simplicity. Each burger comes with a “soupeveur,” a wooden stick for mess-free eating—a small touch that adds to Dic Ann’s memorable experience.
