Reviews describe Chez Gérard as a poutine destination where the dish is the standout, with many calling it the best in Laval and praising crispy fries, fresh cheese curds, and rich gravy that holds up to the sauce; some say it is the best poutine ever and worth a detour. The newer Concorde Boulevard location is generally viewed more favorably than the Cartier trailer, and the atmosphere is often described as retro and simple with little or no music, which some find charming and others a bit odd. Longtime patrons report consistent satisfaction and friendly, courteous service even when a bit stoic, while a few diners have encountered changes in quality, soggy fries, flat beverages, or less clean tables. A cash only policy is noted by some, and the menu, though comforting, is seen as something to enjoy rather than rely on daily. Taken together, the reviews present a beloved poutine focused spot that can deliver great meals and a distinctive vibe, tempered by occasional concerns about consistency, cleanliness, and value.

Ma famille & moi allons à ce restaurant depuis au moins 20 ans & nous sommes TOU-JOURS satisfaits. Le service est, certes, parfois (souvent haha) stoïque, mais toujours courtois. Je n'ai pas eu la chance d'essayer tout ce qui se trouve au menu, simplement parce que les hotdogs steamés, les frites & la poutine sont indétrônables, mais ma tante prend toujours un cheeseburger & elle est toujours satisfaite. Cet endroit est, à mon goût, la MEILLEURE place en son genre. Nous y allons chaque fois que mon papa nous rend visite & j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner à sa prochaine visite (si je n'y vais pas avant, hihi)!

Solid poutine & even better ambience.

This place feels like you're in a call of duty modern warfare map. Eerily retro & well kept. no music. You shush up when you eat your poutine round here.

Ive been hearing about Gerard for a couple of years & this was my first visit. The TikTok comments have since let me know that I went to the wrong one. who gives a crap. The other one doesn't look nearly as vibey.

Anyways, I'm not a big fan of fat soggy wet Quebec fries. I'm more of a thin crispy guy. For reference, my favourite poutine in Montreal is Patati patata. However! For a Quebec poutine this was very good. Delicious gravy & the cheese curd held its integrity right to the bottom of the tray.

Worth visiting this location for the aesthetic!
