Fromagerie Victoria draws mixed feedback from its guests, with many noting a welcoming atmosphere, clean space, and friendly staff that contribute to a positive first impression. The cheese selections and certain poutines are praised and some reviews call the poutine excellent when prepared well, but there are recurring issues with fries texture and sauce balance, with complaints about cold or overcooked fries and sauce being sparse or inconsistent. Pricing is often described as high for the portion and quality, and wait times can be very long, especially at the counter or drive through, occasionally affecting overall experience. Order accuracy and staff attitude also vary by visit, with some nights featuring smooth service and others where staff appear distracted or abrupt. Overall, Fromagerie Victoria seems to offer a cheese forward concept with potential and a loyal following, delivering a memorable ambiance and strong cheese, while improvements in value, consistency, and speed would help achieve a more consistently positive impression.View restaurant profile
