It's definitely the best routine in town! We had a mission to try to find the best one, and the gravey was 100% on point for flavor!

We found this place on our way to look for a local lunch. They have amazing poutine, everyone ordered a different kind to try and were all very satisfied. The also have great burgers and smash burgers, all the ingredients taste very fresh, and their burger sauce is delicious. They make very real, natural, and tasty fries. They don't have gluten free buns or bread, but most of their poutines are gluten free if you don't mind cross contamination. All in all, great lunch, the wait time was good. Our appetizers of coleslaw and fries came after about 10 minutes, the poutine came before 20, and the burgers came around 30. This was great considering we were a large group and there were a sizeable amount of other people also in the restaurant.

This was my first time having poutine & it was great! The people are super friendly and helpful, the prices were very reasonable plus it has a super cozy atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend stopping by for a quick bite to eat if you’re ever in the area.

Great poutine with lots of variety and interesting choices! Service was great, but the backless chairs are uncomfortable.

We were visiting Montreal and our friends took us here. We had the classic and it was soooo delicious. The potatoes they use was so good. Gravy and cheese were not overpowering. One of the best poutines I’ve had. But the vibe was good and it was close to Mount Royal, Olympic stadium, biodome, botanical garden. Great spot!

Great rest stop if you are going to biodome or the garden. Perfect amount for two if you aren’t starving. The food was super yummy and kind staff.
