Review Summary

Drogheria Fine is widely celebrated as a quintessential Montreal staple, offering a unique and authentic street food experience centered on fresh, pillowy gnocchi served with a signature tomato sauce. While opinions on the sauce's flavor profile vary, with some diners finding it incredibly comforting and others noting it as overly acidic or simple, the overall consensus highlights the exceptional value and generous portion sizes for the price. The minimalist, quick-service takeout window frequently draws lines, yet the efficient staff and fast turnover make it a convenient stop for locals and tourists alike. Visitors should be prepared for a cash or Canadian debit-only policy and limited seating options, though the cozy neighborhood vibe and proximity to other local gems make it a highly recommended experience for those seeking a hearty, affordable, and warm bite.

A walk up window. Cash only. You get a carton of gnocchi with sauce. It reminded me of chef boyardee. It's a fun experience while waiting for bagels next door.

What a gem. Ran into this place with a bunch of folks outside on our way to finding Fairmount bagel (which also has awesome bagels).

We were wondering what everyone was eating, & saw that this spot was serving 1 item - to go gnocchi. 6 bucks. Can get it with cheese & red pepper for some spice.

Honestly shockingly good. Got some of the best sorbet/gelato next door to it too. What an experience!

Oh, one downside - cash only establishment.

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!

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.

Cute hole in the wall place! Came here for the $5 Gnocci. Add 1.50 & you get chili flakes & Parmesan cheese.

It's the best thing I've eaten since my Grade 4 teacher's rigatoni sauce. I remember eating it as a kid, & even after all these years I still crave it & I'm glad I found this on my trip to Montreal cause it was nostalgic lol

They take cash or Canadian debit only.

We were brought here as part of a food tour on the Montreal Mile End. The gnocchi + tomato sauce was really delicious & for the price nothing can be beat!

We wouldn't have heard about this place had it not been for our tour guide Eric so we were glad to have it as a stop on the tour. There was a large lineup outside (there is no seating inside) but it seemed to be moving quickly.

They don't accept credit - cash or Interac only!

A delicious little treat for just $5-6.50! I highly recommend adding cheese & chili flakes, it's seriously good. Just a heads-up: they only accept Canadian debit or cash. Last time I went, I skipped lunch because it was so filling for the price. Great value! The line moves quick too.
