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

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
