Chez Simon Cantine Urbaine is described across reviews as a go to spot for smash burgers and poutine, with crispy fries, house sauces, and bold Cajun flavors that earn repeated praise. The beer selection from Quebec microbreweries is a major plus, and the overall vibe is lively and welcoming, with a friendly staff and generally fast service when not crowded. Some feedback notes occasional slow or uneven service and a small, noisy setting that can feel crowded, plus occasional order errors or changes to the menu such as the removal of the Michigan sauce. Standout items many users praise include the smash burger and the poutines, though a few find certain poutines too salty or the sauce balance inconsistent. Overall, Chez Simon Cantine Urbaine is seen as a must try for burger and comfort food lovers, offering generous portions, fresh ingredients, and a spirited atmosphere that keeps guests returning to explore more toppings and sauces.
The burgers & hot dogs were out of this world some of the best I've had in the whole city genuinely insane every component in the burger was outstanding & the hot dog just awesome. Poutine fries cheese curds up there for the best in the city sauce slightly sweet awesome
SUPERBE restaurant. Le baconburger est un des meilleurs burgers que j'ai mangé de ma vie & j'ai aussi adoré ma poutine cheeseburger. Le sandwich chopped cheese, par contre, il est bon mais vous allez devoir le manger avec un couteau & une fourchette. C'est un désordre. 😅
Maintenant parlons du service: Je pense que j'ai jamais été servi aussi rapidement dans un restaurant. L'équipe Chez Simon est incroyablement efficace. Bravo!
Sérieusement, moi je donne un 5 sur 5. J'ai vraiment hâte d'y retourner & essayer le reste de leur hamburgers & poutines. 😍🤩
Burgers here hit the spot! People working there are quite friendly. The only downside is that there is limited space to dine in if you are more than 2 people! Many people do end up doing takeout!
Great spot. I highly recommend the bacon burger. The staff is pretty friendly & nice too. The only problem is that there are not that many tables to sit if you're in a group of bigger than 2 people

Commande Uber eat quelle déception ..
On a commandé 2 burgers 1 frite & 1 hot dog . Au vu des commentaires on s'attendait à quelque chose d'incroyable .. mais pas du tout. Frites qui baignées dans la graisse. Burgers écrasés & sauce hyper poivrée immangeable. Hot dog sans goût, bref vraiment déçus
Commande sur uber eat les burgers ne ressemblent pas du tout à ce qu'on peut voir sur les photo Google… mon burger était tout humide avec le pain trempé. Les frites immonde,trop cuites & trop salé.
Enfin! Des bon burger & la sauce à poutine WoW surprenante 😊 hâte d'y retourner pour essayer d'autres choses. Une équipe super sympathique & souriante.
Des plats copieux, les frites sont croustillantes & l'assaisonnement est original & délicieux. La poutine est excellente bien qu'un peu trop épicée pour moi. La sauce burger maison une tuerie.
Dommage que le service ne soit pas rapide mais surtout pas logique. Les clients après nous sont servis bien avant nous. La dame de la caisse prépare les boissons dans l'ordre sur les plateaux mais le serveur mélange tout !
Changez le serveur & ce sera parfait !

I was conflicted whether to order a burger at the Time Out Market or something more exotic but I kept getting drawn to Chez Simon & boy was that the right decision. I wanted to try poutine in Montreal but found my one attempt earlier in the week anti-climatic. I decided to try it again here & it was everything I dreamed of. Crispy fries (the fries were great), nice brown sauce & millions of squeaky cheese curds. This is what I thought poutine should be & I loved it, they did an incredible job. I took out the middle bun in the Mr Big burger (could not understand the French menu) & it was an excellent burger, but it was the poutine that stole the show.
