Poutine OK, j'ai pris la New-York. La gravy manque de saveurs, du coup je suis un peu mitigé.

Good poutine, but not the best I had in Montreal:
- gravy was only lukewarm, so it didn't melt the cheese curds
- even the regular gravy is a little peppery to my taste

They have more than 40 flavors to choose from which is a bit overwhelming at first. I liked my Poutine bourguignon with ground beef & onions. Oddly enough, they prepared it with added champignons first, but removed them after realizing their'mistake'. Just add them on the menu, would make it even better.

J'ai voulu faire tester à mes amis la véritable poutine & nous n'avons pas été déçu.
Nous avons été extrêmement bien accueilli, un service au top.
La poutine était excellente & les hot dog très bon.
Je valide & je recommande.

Une des pires poutines que j'ai mangé. La sauce ne goûte rien & a tellement d'épaississant qu'on dirait du jello. Mon hot-dog n'était pas cuit… hyper froid. Les frites brûlées. Le hamburger n'est pas de la vraie viande mais plutôt une galette déjà faite. C'était très décevant & en plus j'ai été malade

I have eaten here many many times & would highly recommend. I usually get the Jardiniere. The fries are great & the sauce is excellent - not too salty. Good amount of veggies as well. Portion size is good & the price point is very affordable. The decor indoors is particular, but the staff is very friendly.

Last three times I went for take out in the evening, there was an error in my order. I really love the place & the errors were not that significative, but it's just disappointing.

Great standard poutine place, no frills with a great feed. Smoked meat is disappointing though, compared to other places like this.
