Best smash burger in the Greater Montreal area, & in their poutine the gravy is so tasty to an extent that I would say its the best I ever had here, & the vibe is so cozy

Incredibly kind & welcoming service, even for a couple of us showing up near closing time (sorry about that again), you have to try the smash burger when you go & the pizza is top 👌🏻
The expansion looks beautiful & the aesthetics of the café are genuinely really nice, but unfortunately the food quality has gone way downhill. It was so disappointing to pay over $25 for a pizza that was extremely greasy, had a huge crust, & tasted like it was made with very cheap cheese - honestly like cafeteria-style cheese. Even the hot honey they give on the side was a letdown: such a small portion, watered down, & not flavorful at all.
We also tried the smash burgers, & they were just as disappointing. They were overly greasy, & you could actually taste that cheap, unpleasant oil. We honestly felt sick after eating. Even the coffees were underwhelming - having a fancy machine is not enough if the coffee itself isn't made well.
Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, especially for spending over $70 & not enjoying any of it. The space looks great, but the food & drinks absolutely did not live up to the price or the presentation.
Went for the smash burgers, & we were not disappointed. Classic crispy patty on a potato bun, greasy & delicious. The fries are fried in beef tallow so they have a richer flavor.
The vibe is modern & clean, with a barber shop adjacent to the main dining area. It does feel a little bit like you're in an episode of the Sopranos at Satriale's though…
Only downside is the location, a little out of the way.
J'adore ce type de place géré par des passionnés. Ça sort de l'ordinaire, les employés sont incroyables & le décor est wow. J'ai pris une pizza qui est servi avec du miel épicé & du nutella qui est très bonne. Le smash burger vraiment très bon aussi.

Nous avons trouvé l'endroit overhyped. Smash burger correct, rien de spécial. Cafés freddo cappucino vraiment pas de notre goût. Musique relativement forte.
Bémol sur les employés, ils étaient tous super gentils. Beau décor authentique!
Delicious! Fantastic service & very friendly atmosphere. Thank you Peter.
We tried smash burgers, poutines, onion rings, & buttery garlic fries. All amazing. Try the buttery garlic fries with the spicy honey!
We will be back for the pizza next time.
today my hubby & i enjoyed a smash burger & poutine; everything tasted great. as soon as we entered the restaurant we were greeted with a gorgeous porshe themed interior as well as the kindest staff. definitely coming back with more people :)
