The Burnt Tongue, a Hamilton-based restaurant known for its rotating seasonal soups and comfort food offerings, is getting ready to open a new location in Burlington at 491 Appleby Line.
The company’s fifth location is expected to open in early June, according to Insauga. While an exact opening date has not been confirmed, Michael Leon, the company’s Director of Business Development, tells Whatnow Toronto that the team is aiming for a June 1 opening if construction progresses as planned. Customers can expect the restaurant’s lineup of seasonal soups, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. Leon tells Whatnow that this location cannot offer burgers or fries due to exclusivity restrictions in the plaza, but they plan to introduce special items available only in Burlington.
The Burnt Tongue currently operates four locations throughout the Hamilton area, including restaurants on Cannon Street East, Locke Street South, King Street West in Westdale, and on King Street West in Dundas. The Burlington restaurant will mark the company’s first expansion outside of Hamilton. The concept has built a strong local following through its rotating soup menu and casual comfort food offerings.
Menu offerings at The Burnt Tongue include soups such as Creamy Tomato & Tortellini, Roasted Garlic Potato Leek, Peanut Chicken, and Hungarian Mushroom. Customers can also order hot sandwiches, including grilled cheese variations, Cubanos, tuna melts, and birria grilled cheese sandwiches. Cold sandwiches, burgers, salads, hand-cut fries, and poutine will also be available at the new Burlington location.
Dessert offerings include carrot cake and strawberry white-chocolate ice cream sandwiches, alongside a selection of beverages, including soft drinks, sparkling water, and specialty drinks. Several menu items are designed to accommodate different dietary preferences, including vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options.
