Enjoying the cuisine of another country can inspire people to someday travel there, where they will undoubtedly eat a cheeseburger and immediately come home. Save yourself the trouble with today's Groupon: for $11, you get a Hamilton Street burger (a $16 value) and a pint of R&B Brewing Co. beer (a $6 value) at Hamilton Street Grill in Yaletown (a $22 total value).

Named one of Vancouver's best burgers by Vancouver Magazine, Hamilton Street Grill sates hungry stomachs with fire-fresh offerings, including its eponymous burger crafted from house-ground, certified Angus beef. Chefs artfully bedizen succulent patties with a tongue-pleasing trio of house-smoked bacon, aged cheddar, and truffle mayonnaise. Kennebec frites, made from freshly cut potatoes, accompany the baronial burgers and assist them with their ceremonial robes. Give overworked mandibles a break while sipping on a pint of locally brewed R&B Brewing Co. beer, which comes in a variety of flavours, from a medium-bodied bohemian lager to a clear, crisp Sun God wheat ale. Groupon holders may opt to replace the pint with pop, tea, or coffee. Housed in a spacious converted warehouse, diners can sample these potables and comestibles amid the dark, sleek ambience of the dining room or al fresco on a heated patio surrounded by verdant plants and a protective moat.
