Décarie Hot Dog is widely described as an iconic, nostalgia-filled Montreal staple for classic steamies, hot dogs, fries and poutine, a retro spot that many visitors feel is worth the trek for the experience and comfort food. Several reviews praise the poutine for its rich gravy, cheese curds and hearty fries, with some calling it the best or among the best in the city. However, other comments note decline in recent years, with poutine that is too dry or oversalted, sauces that changed, and items that are not as hot or fresh as before. The hot dogs and steamies often remain a highlight when served hot and dressed properly, but some visits report cold buns or underdressed orders. Cash only payments and a fast, no-frills service style contribute to the old-school atmosphere, which reviewers either love for its authenticity or view as a drawback. Overall, the place is described as a beloved, long-standing institution that inspires strong loyalty and nostalgia, while also provoking debates about consistency and whether it can recapture its former level.

Bien aimer mon repas,
que j'ai appris à connaître,
avec mon menu composé de
une Frite (bon goût & texture tendre),
une Poutine (bonne vrai sauce & bien apprêté)
un Hot Dog (bonne consistance & bien rôtis)
& un Hamburger (bonne viande & belle cuisson),
pour me donner une idée globale des produits
du restaurant Décarie Hot Dogs...
& sa vaut le détour,
au point de partir de la rive-sud de Montréal
en transport collectif jusqu'à la station de Metro Côte-Vertu
& à un coin de rue de marche, etc.

One of my favourite poutine spots for a quick grab’n go but prices have been progressively going up (inflation is understandable..) however portions have also been reduced compared to a few years back

This is a Montréal institution when comes to hotdogs & poutine. Went there early to avoid any traffic on the way. Loved the way the staff interacted & offered their services. It is a small spot & on a lovely sunny day, even enjoyable to sit outside & have a bite. I don’t understand why some has complained about the restaurant being small. Do they except fine dining like seating for hotdogs? To me it is just perfect.
The steamiest were one of the best I had in Montréal. Tried their breakfast eggs, toast & fries which was decent. Sadly no poutine coz I went early.
Street parking only so plan your trip accordingly.

De plus leur service est assez rapide! Le seul probleme cest que lendroit est tres petit & serrer, bon pendant lete cest pas un probleme puisquon peut manger dehors mais appart sa si seulement cetait possible dagrandir le resto ca serait un plus!
