Reviews describe La frite du village as starting the summer with the owner making the poutine and being praised as the best in Abitibi, but in recent months there is uncertainty about who cooks and the poutine is said to be overloaded with sauce; some patrons ask for less sauce and still find too much, while others say the sauce is very good and that for lovers of extra sauce the fries are perfect. The place is praised as offering good value for money and as the best snack spot in the Val d'Or area, with poutine and sauce singled out for quality. Experiences vary with the first poutine being very good, but a later visit at opening with warm sauce and undercooked fries; the burger is described as acceptable. Service receives mixed feedback, with some reports of rude behavior from younger staff and others noting good service and recommending the place. Prices are described as high by some reviewers.View restaurant profile

Resto du coin is described as a casual, affordable spot where simple comfort food stays solid and prices stay low, with slush available year round. The poutine is praised for good potatoes, cheese and sauce, and the hot dog earns similar marks. The dining atmosphere feels practical and informal, with the place often busy and popular with an older crowd. Staff are consistently friendly and the service is reliable, and the overall food quality is described as good value even if not haute cuisine. Minor quibbles appear, such as pepper shakers being on other tables at times, but these do not overshadow the sense of a dependable, snack place that compares favorably to fast food.View restaurant profile
