Review Summary

Chez Simon Cantine Urbaine is widely celebrated as a premier destination for high-quality smash burgers, flavorful poutine, and impressive hot dogs. Diners consistently praise the freshness of the ingredients, the balanced flavor profiles, and the excellent selection of microbrewery beers. While the majority of visitors highlight the friendly, efficient service and warm atmosphere as key components of their positive experience, some guests note that the restaurant space is quite small, which can lead to limited seating and occasional crowding. Although a few reviewers felt portions were small for the price, the consensus remains that it is a must-visit spot in Montreal, offering a top-tier casual dining experience that keeps locals and travelers coming back.

Very small dry burger. Ask for no pickles, that's the only condiment they put on were pickles. I expected a little more. Maybe some sauce, something not just pickles.
Ordered 2 Stewarts bottle sodas, they came warm. The only thing that was decent were the fries... they were very good.
Also ordered the marinated cabbage slaw, which consisted of about 3 tbsp of marinated cabbage.
I just think they could have done a lot better. But delivery is always the lost stepchild of the restaurant business.
It seems that if they can't see the customer, they don't really give the order too much thought.
