Les poutines sont bonnes, mais le staff pas hyper accueillant (à peine bonjour en entrant, on passe devant nous en nous ignorant...bizarre comme ambiance...). Par contre ils sont rapides au service donc c'est mieux que rien, mais un petit sourire & prendre un peu en considération le client ce serait bien.

Poutine très bonne & avec du goût, c'est très bon ! En revanche service à revoir, j'ai eu l'impression de me faire ghoster de mon arrivé à mon départ. Dommage!

L'une des institutions de la Poutine à Montréal. L'ambiance & le goûts & le rapports qualités prix font grandement plaisir. Sans doute l'une des meilleures poutine classique en villlle. Il y est également possible de déguster Hot dog & pogo.

Was looking forward to having poutine here as it was on the top 10 list. There was only one lady working the tables & take out orders. We were seated relatively quickly but it took a really long time to order. We ordered the classic poutine & also the smoked Meat poutine. Overall it was decent but not amazing. The gravy could have been hotter to melt the cheese curds. They forgot our drink order but they took it off the bill. They definitely need more than one server & not take customers for granted.

Poutine très moyenne, bon marcher mais avec des ingrédients de moyenne qualité. Édit 2024: c'est quand même bon

I think this place must have been an institution but we had burgers made from frozen preformed patties, fries which came from a frozen bag of fries that went straight into the fryer, & finally a poutine from a top 10 poutine spot which had bland flavourless gravy with cheese that melted & wasn't squeaky. I was really disappointed after all of the recommendations. The service was great. The front of house were veterans & despite a new POS system that wasn't working great, pushed the crowds through to serve.
