Comfort Food Pizza Poutine Sandwiches BBQ Burgers

Review Summary

At Chez Madame Kosta, feedback blends charm with inconsistency: the service note mentions a waitress who had a bit of trouble keeping orders straight; the Italian poutine was very good with solid cheese, fries and sauce; the Smokemeat dish disappointed with meat that tasted plasticky and a sandwich that felt undersized with too little meat, leaving some doubt about value; still, the poutine in general is praised and the place is described as a small greasy spoon that is good for a poutine or a decent pita gyros or souvlaki; the souvlaki pita is highlighted as excellent and portions are noted to be very large; the quirky dolphins add to a Drive-In, Diner style that gives the place a unique charm.View restaurant profile

Comfort Food Sandwiches Poutine Breakfast Pastries

Review Summary

Overall, reviews of Resto du coin note that the food quality has dropped a little recently but remains good and cheap, with Slush available year round. The place is often busy, attracting many patrons described as older gents. Poutine is praised as tasty and well balanced, though not exceptional, with good potatoes, cheese and sauce. The hot dog is noted as very good. Pepper shakers were all taken on other tables, so pepper was not always available. For those passing through for work, a good poutine with well balanced components meets expectations. Choosing this spot over fast food chains is seen as more satisfying. Staff are consistently friendly and smiling, contributing to good service. Prices are very affordable and the food is described as excellent, though not haute cuisine; a casual snack place. Visits are described as a pleasure to make.View restaurant profile

Val-d'Or

Pizza Comfort Food Sandwiches Poutine

Review Summary

Many reviews rate Pizzéria Val-d'Or highly for the pizza, with several calling it the best or among the best in Val-d'Or and others suggesting it is the second best in town. But experiences vary, as fries are sometimes described as reheated and unpalatable, and the pizza can be overcooked or undercooked. Delivery times can be long, and some staff members are described as rude, while other reports praise friendly and attentive service. Comfort and seating are noted as an area for improvement with suggestions for more chairs for larger customers rather than only at the bar. Parking on the street exists but parking directly in front of the shop is limited, and the venue can be very noisy. Toppings are not abundant for the price but the pizza itself is still good, and pricing is considered expensive by some. On site pickup for takeout is mentioned and convenient for taking pizza home. Overall, the consensus highlights strong pizza quality with positive service in many instances, but mixed experiences around service, pricing, and comfort.View restaurant profile

Comfort Food Poutine Burgers

Review Summary

La frite du village is described in reviews as a mixed poutine spot in Val d'Or, known for poutine and a cheeseburger option, with early praise calling it perhaps the best in Abitibi and the sauce described as really good, though later comments note that it is unclear who cooks and that the sauce can be overly heavy. Some patrons request less sauce and still feel there is too much, while others say the poutine is very good when the sauce is balanced. The burger is mentioned as acceptable, and the overall food is sometimes praised along with the service. Consistency varies, with one visit being strong and another at opening featuring tepid sauce and undercooked fries. Service is a frequent target of criticism, described as lacking respect from younger staff, and prices are described as high, with complaints about hot dogs and the poutine tasting watery or bouillon like. Still, several reviews express enjoyment of the place and recommend visiting.View restaurant profile
