Review Summary

Reviews describe Cantine Chez Paul as a classic, unpretentious Quebec cantine with mouthwatering poutine, especially the smoked meat version, featuring generous portions, savory gravy, and plenty of cheese curds. The poutine is repeatedly praised as among the best in the region, with the smoked meat noted as standout and the fries praised as homemade and crisp. The atmosphere is retro and welcoming, with a simple, family run vibe and fast, friendly service from attentive staff. The location is considered a Magog staple and a genuine Quebec institution, often recommended for an authentic, affordable meal. Some notes mention a change in ownership that brought a slight reduction in quantity while prices stayed the same, and a few diners wish for improved fries or payment options, but overall the place remains loved for its consistent quality, hearty portions, and nostalgic cantine experience.

Coming from overseas, I had never tried poutine before, so traveling to Québec made it only a matter of time. While driving through the Cantons-de-l'Est, I stayed one night in Magog & discovered this small roadside spot, Cantine Chez Paul, filled with local customers - always a great sign.

I decided to try the smoked meat poutine & wow, I was not disappointed! Absolutely delicious. The friendly service & the sweet elderly cooks made the experience even more authentic & memorable. A true Québec gem off the beaten path.

Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
