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.

Très bon burger. La sauce à poutine était recherchée. J'ai goûté la bbq, elle était'classique', mais avec un petit quelque chose du poulet au beurre. Le fromage en train était super frais.

Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Hochelaga! L'ambiance est parfaite pour savourer un repas réconfortant sans prétention.

La qualité est au rendez-vous. J'ai particulièrement adoré la poutine avec son fromage qui fond à merveille dans la sauce. Tout était délicieux.

Je reviendrai sans hésiter pour tester le reste du menu. Une adresse incontournable dans le quartier pour les amateurs de bons burgers.

Had the double smashed burger. Very tasty. Could have been a bit more cooked in order to get that signature crunch on the patty that you get with smashed burgers but I'm just being nitpicky. It was a nice surprise to see that they use Martin's potato buns. Love them! Got the poutine with BBQ sauce - it was a pefect addition to my burger. My girlfriend got the fries. As a heads up, they're sprinkled with spices but still very good.

Bouf est bonne mais le prix 60$ pour un petit burgers & une poutine j'avais faim 15 min après tellement les portions étaient petites. & avais pas assez de fromage dans la poutine.
J'étais dessus pour le prix & la quantité.

bon burger, mais petit, bonne poutine, mais 36$ avec le tip pour un mini burger, une petite poutine & une bière, c'est cher.

Small restaurant with mostly bar seating or small tables with two stools. One large table seats up to ~10 people

Amazing smash burgers & poutines with multiple varieties.
Highly recommend.

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. 😍🤩

Holy cow que c'était bon! Les burgers sont incroyables! Les frites aussi! La poutine qui slap!

Salle à manger un peu restreinte, mais ça aide à l'ambiance cozy & locale. Vraiment une bonne petite cantine classique!

Je leur souhaite sincèrement longue vie.
