The tofu baguette and vegan options get particular mentions for flavor, while the attieke bowls are a standout for some and less favorable for others depending on preparation. Some experiences note inconsistency in quality with overcooked chicken, hard bread, or reduced portions, and a few order mistakes or delays from phone orders. Despite these caveats, many reviewers say it is a strong go to for a casual meal in the area, especially for those seeking distinctive options and a friendly, reasonably priced dining experience.View restaurant profile

Canadian Poutine Comfort Food

Magog

Review Summary

Valentine is described as a fast food stop in a rest area where the service is welcoming and the staff feel trustworthy, with a note about a mistaken order at another location followed by a refund confirmed by the team. The reviews highlight the poutine as possibly the best around with a generous portion, while the meat sandwich fell short and could have benefited from toasted bread; otherwise the service was solid. A chicken burger with poutine was a hit, making this spot a go-to quick dinner on Fridays or Saturdays, and the crew are praised for being very friendly.View restaurant profile
