Cantine L'Ami Du Passant earns largely positive reviews for its poutine, with praise for generous cheese, tasty toppings, and affordable portions that bring customers back, and many call it one of the best poutines in town, especially after the recent renovations and the new building. Service is frequently described as fast, friendly, and patient, and the staff are noted as courteous while the venue remains a simple year round cantine with a small on site counter and a popular takeout vibe, plus outdoor seating by the water for a lunch stop, particularly for cyclists. Some feedback points to inconsistency after the changes, including reports of fries that are too soft or undercooked, a sauce that lacks flavor, and a few long waits, but others say the poutine still delivers and the setup is an improvement. Prices are highlighted as affordable and portions satisfactory, and overall the place is seen as a reliable casual dining option that offers good value and repeat visits.View restaurant profile
