Restaurant Anselme comes across as a cozy, family-run spot with a warm, attentive service and a calm, convivial cantine vibe. Poutines stand out, featuring house-made fries and fresh cheese, with the brown sauce and bbq sauce receiving praise for richness, though a few reviews find the brown sauce too salty or the overall poutine underwhelming. Burgers and cheeseburgers are described as small, almost junior-sized, while the onions are often praised; some diners feel portions or prices are not well matched. The atmosphere is nostalgic and unpretentious, and the staff are consistently friendly and efficient, making meals feel comforting and homey. A note of caution includes occasional bathroom odor, busier dining rooms at peak times, and parking challenges, with some visits not living up to expectations. Overall, this restaurant is seen as a dependable, family-friendly spot for hearty, sauce-forward dishes, especially poutine, where many leave impressed by the flavors and homemade touches and express a willingness to return despite some inconsistencies.View restaurant profile
