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.
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! ❤?

Gem of a spot their AA sub & poutine is a must try
Saw a review on Facebook & had to come here. Late night food is a rare thing now & to have a spot that is open late is so much fun. Food was good, the ambiance reminds me of these no nosense dinner. The place is clean & most of all the staff is so noce & welcoming. The older gentleman I think his name is André is a sweetheart. Super friendly & helpful. If you want simple fare, burger, hot-dog & poutine. AA is the place to go.
Depuis 1962 André ( proprio & cook), mène ce restaurant !!! Burger & poutine incomparable j'adore cette place depuis au moins 40 ans! Service rapide, portion plus que suffisante! En plus c'est ouvert très tard !!!!
Best poutine in Montreal! However, please note that they're temporarily closed for renovations. We saw the sign up yesterday evening. Not sure when they will open up again, but hopefully it will be soon!
