As of 2023, there are over 41,000 McDonald’s locations around the world. With 113 countries having at least one McDonald’s, the menu options are endless. One of the best parts of travelling is visiting a McDonald’s in another country and seeing how the menu differs from your home country. Whether it’s the McSpicy Paneer Burger from India, the Chicken McDo with McSpaghetti plate in the Philippines or the Empanadas in Chile, McDonald’s is different all over the world.
This summer, Canadian customers have the opportunity to try some global menu items while staying close to home thanks to the McDonald’s International Menu Heist. McDonald’s menu items from Australia, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Japan and the UK have been added to the Canadian McDonald’s menu. From flavourful burgers to zesty sauces and a delicious sweet treat, here is our ranking of the International Menu Heist lineup from worst to best.

McDonald’s Garlic Mayo-Style Sauce and Sweet Tangy Chili Dip
6. Garlic Mayo-Style Sauce
The Garlic Mayo-Style sauce is a favourite from the UK. It is creamy, full of garlic flavour and perfect for dipping your chicken nuggets or McPizza Bites. However, it had an aftertaste we didn’t love, and for that reason, it’s at the bottom of our rankings.
5. Sweet Tangy Chili Dip
The Sweet Tangy Chili Dip is a popular choice down under in Australia. And after a taste, we understand why. It has a zesty flavour with a slight kick of heat. This may be our go-to chicken nugget dipping sauce of the summer!
McDonald’s McPizza Bites
4. McPizza Bites
We have to say grazie mille to Italy for the McPizza Bites. For any customers who enjoyed the McDonald’s McPizza in the 90s, we are sure you will love the McPizza Bites. Mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce are wrapped in a bite-sized toasted pizza dough. The flavour reminds us of an old-school pizza pocket, which makes these bite-sized beauties even more nostalgic.

McDonald’s Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich
3. Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich
From Japan, the Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich is already proving to be popular among Canadians. A breaded chicken patty is drenched in a delicious, sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce. The sandwich is then topped with shredded lettuce and a mayo-style sauce. The flavour in this sandwich was absolutely delicious and the crunch of the chicken and lettuce was perfect. However, we must warn you that this sandwich is messy! Between the stickiness of the sauce and the falling shredded lettuce and sauce, we needed multiple napkins to clean up after. Other than that, it is a near-perfect sandwich!

McDonald’s Big Rosti
2. Big Rosti
Germany’s Big Rosti lands in the runner-up spot for our rankings. A Rosti is a crispy potato typically cooked in a pan, so in this burger, a crispy McDonald’s hashbrown tops a burger with hickory-smoked bacon and cheese. The crisp crunch of the hashbrown and bacon pairs perfectly with the soft oat-topped bun and juicy beef patty. This burger is a must-try and we understand why it is so popular in Germany.

McDonald’s Biscoff McFlurry
1. Biscoff McFlurry
Without a doubt, the best item in the McDonald’s International Menu Heist lineup is the Biscoff McFlurry from Belgium. It’s basically a worldwide consensus that Biscoff makes anything better and that is seen in this McFlurry. Vanilla soft serve is mixed with delicious bits of Biscoff cookies. It is creamy, crunchy and the perfect sweet treat to cool down with this summer.
