Overall, reviews describe Chez Gérard as a popular, family friendly spot known for poutine topped with extra cheese and a fast, friendly service, with many calling it the best poutine in Laval and at times the world, though several notes about changes since new ownership include a shift in gravy flavor and cheese sourcing that disappointed longtime fans. Prices have risen under the new administration and the place remains cash only in some reviews, which detracts for some customers. The menu also features hot dogs, pogo burgers, and fries, with some praising the steam hot dogs and others finding portions smaller and sauces less satisfying after changes. The venue is praised for cleanliness and a welcoming atmosphere, plus indoor and outdoor play areas that make it very kid friendly, along with a large parking area and garden space in summer; staff are described as polite and efficient, though a few reports mention less clean tables or restrooms and occasional concerns about food handling. Overall, it remains a go to for poutine lovers and families in Laval, with many reviews urging repeat visits for reliable comfort food, while others caution about price increases and recipe changes affecting taste.View restaurant profile
