Drogheria Fine's mission is to provide the food service industry innovative products and ingredients and to contribute to Quebec gastronomic and culinary growth.
Drogheria Fine is known for its simple, affordable gnocchi served from a street window with a tomato-based sauce that can be topped with cheese and chili flakes. The value is repeatedly praised, with generous portions and low prices, though indoor seating is not available and payments are cash or Canadian debit only. Reviews highlight a comforting, pillowy texture and a sauce that ranges from rich and flavorful to a bit sour or generic depending on the batch. The vibe is described as quick, casual, and charming, with fast service and friendly staff, making it a popular go to on a cold day. For many, it remains a must visit in Montreal's Mile End, famous for a takeout box that delivers a satisfying, inexpensive gnocchi experience.
Drogheria is such a Montreal classic. You really can't beat $5 gnocchi for that level of quality, simple, delicious, & always satisfying. Perfect takeout to enjoy on a bench in Mile End while soaking up the nice weather. A go-to spot every time!
The gnocchi was soft but the sauce tasted like chef boyardee. Maybe it was too much oregano or burnt onions but I found the sauce oily. It's not for me, but the kids liked it on a cold day.
Unbelievable flavor for such a small price (5$). You can taste the passion & tradition in every bite. Fresh, comforting, & genuinely satisfying. If you're nearby, don't think twice-just go.'
It's a street walk by counter the sauce is homemade as a Italian that makes his own sauce with the family... It is delicious the owner I'm guessing took the time to explain everything I've asked super Patience & friendly service. Fyi they only take debit or cash. Thank you for bringing a little of Italy & homemade to Montreal!
Best & affordable place for some hot & warm pasta on a cold day. Ive been comming here for years. I rarely go to places like this where they have like one thing on the menu. Back during covid, the pieces of gnocchi were bigger but they had less pieces. Now the pieces are smaller but they include more pieces of gnocchi. I would DEFINETLY recommend to get it with the parmesean cheese & the chilli flakes (chilli flakes are optional) in my opinion. Because I once got it without parmesean & chili flakes & it tastes kind of bland. But when I got it with the spices, it tasted A LOT better. Its only $1.50 extra

One of the best pasta in Montreal. Such soft gnocci, & tangy sauce. & such kind workers. All of this for ONLY 5 DOLLARS.Everyone in the reviews saying this & that, should remember it's only five dollars, & it's still amazing.
My friends & I were visiting montreal & had heard about this place. We were super excited to try but when we arrived we were informed that you had to pay in cash or a Canadian debit card which we did not have. Be warned if you are visiting from outside of Canada to have some cash! Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy. Wish we had known before making the trip over that we couldn't use our credit cards.
I'd give them 6 stars if I could. They don't need any recommendation, they are the proof of you don't need to have an infinite menu to do things well. Always a pleasure to pass by!
