Chez L'Gourmand is described as a charming family run spot by the water where a charismatic hands on owner handles the cooking with real care. The menu features handmade burgers, especially the Gros Gourmand, hearty poutine, house made fries, smoked meat sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, fish and chips, and even pizza. Reviews praise the warm, friendly service and the owner who makes guests feel at home, with many notes about excellent value for quality and a welcoming atmosphere. The food is often highlighted as fresh and flavorful, with standout components like the burgers, poutine with rich gravy and squeaky cheese curds, and crispy fries, though a few comments mention occasional undercooked fries or portions that feel small for the price. Overall the impression is highly positive with frequent returns and strong recommendations to try the menu at this waterfront spot.
Service 100/10, André made my day with his warm energy as soon as I walked in. I immediately trusted him to pick my sandwich for the day & he delivered! A crispy chicken sandwich. Bread was great, & ingredients were perfectly balanced.
The place is small inside but André will make you feel right at home. I hope I can make it back soon to try something else! 😊

Un excellent endroit pour un bon burger frais sur le grill & des frites paradisiaques! Tout est frais & fait avec amour! Venez aider une entreprise familiale!
Jai bien hâte à ma prochaine visite car la pizza offrait des odeurs enivrantes. Ça sent bon!!!
La bouffe est 10/10 & André le proprio est 15/10. Si t'es pas encore venu ici je sais pas ce que t'attends. Je voulais prendre une photo de la bouffe mais j'ai pas été capable de m'arrêter après la première bouchée. Sorryyyy
I went out of my way to try this spot because many people were praising the Poutine.
The owner was super nice & friendly, he definitely loves what he does.
The Food:
The fries were very undercooked, gorged in oil & bland tasting.
The cheese curds melted, far from'squish-squish' if that's what your standard is. Take-out or delivery would be much worst.
The sauce was good, definitely not your run of the mill poutine sauce. Closer in taste to gravy for a roast.
Price: I found it very expensive. For two small poutines & two sodas it came to $49 including tip. The price wouldn't have shocked me if the servings would not have been so tiny.
I rate MY experience a 3.5/5
*Disclosure: I went on a Saturday in the middle of the afternoon.

Amazing food! Went for the first time with my boyfriend & we got the burgers & poutine. Everything is made in house & it was truly a great experience. Also was not expensive either fairly priced.

Enfin une poutine savoureuse digne de ce nom pourtant j'en ai goûtées plusieurs dans tout Montréal. Ne ratez pas le fish & chips super tendre sans parler des frites maison croustillantes à l'extérieur & moelleuses à l'intérieur. Les ailes poulet épicées un délice. Très belle surprise ce restaurant qui mérite amplement chaque avis positif. Allez-y les yeux fermés 🤩

Gérant l'établissement en solo, son dévouement transparaît dans chaque détail. Le restaurant est impeccable, avec une cuisine bien équipée qui témoigne de son engagement envers la qualité.
J'ai commandé le trio L'Gros Gourmand, & c'était excellent. La viande du burger était incroyablement savoureuse, avec une légère note fumée grâce à un mélange parfait de boeuf & de viande fumée. La portion était copieuse, & les garnitures, très fraîches, apportaient une touche croquante & vibrante. Les frites cuites dans du suif de boeuf étaient une découverte-uniques & délicieuses, c'était ma première fois & j'ai adoré leur goût riche & distinct. L'Gourmand est un incontournable pour une cuisine généreuse & savoureuse avec une touche personnelle.

I ordered the L'Gros Gourmand trio, & it was outstanding. The burger's meat was incredibly tasty, with a subtle smoky flavor from a perfect blend of beef & smoked meat. The portion was generous, & the garnishes were fresh & crisp, adding a vibrant touch. The fries, cooked in beef tallow, were a unique & delicious surprise-my first time trying them, & I loved their distinct, rich flavor. L'Gourmand is a must-visit for hearty, flavorful food served with a personal touch.
