There is nothing that completes my night out more than ending it at AA with the best poutine in Montreal!!! The owner is the most hardworking restaurateur serving the community since 1968😄 A must try.
Old school greasy spoon which you don't see much of anymore. The owner, an incredible man from the old school, who has owned the restaurant for several decades & clearly has dedicated his life to this place & his family. Amazing establishment, a must for anyone that wants to feel what it means to be Quebecer & Canadian.
Came here because it was the only spot open at 1:30am & was not expecting much from it. Staff is super sweet, service is fast, the food is cheap & suprinsingly super delicious!! We got the spag & poutine. Sauce was great in both, & the fries stayed crispy till the end. Great spot, ill be back for sure, thank you !!

Ok, it's not FAST food, like pre-frozen, but it's fast enough. Be patient, yall, & enjoy fresh from scratch food, including bone broth based poutine gravy. Service is good, people are kind, & the food is what we need sometimes! ❤?
