(39)

Salaberry-de-Valleyfield

Review Summary

Patate Taz comes across as a casual, affordable spot with strong burgers, poutines and homemade fries, and a friendly, patient staff. The poutine lineup draws praise for freshness and variety, with many noting that the poutine with cornichon panné is surprisingly good and that the grilled sandwich and fries are standout. While the original poutine is admired, a version with bbq sauce added to it falls short for some tasters, and the smoked meat in another poutine is described as decent but light on meat. The terrace ambiance is considered cool and inviting, and service is repeatedly praised for recommendations and attentiveness. Several reviewers say Patate Taz is among the best local poutine spots in Valleyfield and throughout Quebec, offering good value with enough options to try repeatedly, though a few comments point to room for meat portions and sauce choices.View restaurant profile

Breakfast Crêpes

Review Summary

Ben & Florentine is described as offering fast service and very good food. The reviews reflect a solid breakfast experience with some standout options like avocado lox that feel healthy and a menu that differs from other breakfast spots. Service is often praised as efficient, but there are notes of inattentive moments at the entrance with eye rolling and sighs when orders are not heard right away. Eggs Benedict are sometimes inconsistent, with reports of overcooked eggs, strong vinegar, and hollandaise that is too thick, while some dishes are described as delicious and otherwise well prepared. There are also mentions of service gaps, such as a server who took the order and brought the plates without returning, prompting payment at the counter. Prices are described as fairly high, and coffee quality is criticized as old in some visits. Overall the restaurant offers a varied menu with some excellent choices, but experiences can vary in preparation and service.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Zoto Sushi proves to be a delightful surprise when the usual sushi spot is closed on Mondays, offering fresh, neatly packaged pieces that taste fantastic after a friendly phone order and a smooth pickup at the agreed time. The staff are courteous and attentive, making the whole experience easy and reassuring. The impression is strong that this could become a go-to for future sushi cravings. Some counter staff at another location were not aware that this option existed, but that did not dampen the satisfaction and a definite plan to return remains.View restaurant profile
