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.
Die Drogheria Fine ist definitiv ein guter Spot in Montreal - die Gnocchi schmecken frisch und hausgemacht, aber es war ehrlich gesagt nicht das Beste, was ich je gegessen habe. Die Portionen sind eher klein, der Preis dafür aber noch in Ordnung. Ein kleines Extra wie etwas Brot dazu würde das Ganze abrunden. Insgesamt gut, aber kein absolutes Muss - eher etwas für zwischendurch, wenn man gerade in der Nähe ist.
Efficient service, super affordable ($5) & tasty gnocchi. I would definitely go back for a quick local bit to go. The gnocchi were very soft & fresh & the sauce was pretty good, I had the cheese gnocchi.

Bon, je dois avouer que j'avais hâte de les essayer, après tout j'en avais tellement entendu parler. De plus la longue file qu'on peut apercevoir devant l'établissement me donnais envie d'essayer.
Personnellement, je n'ai pas aimé, pas du tout même. Si vous avez déjà manger des vrais gnocchis, je vous suggère de vous abstenir.
On goûte très peu les patates & la sauce…de provenance incertaine.
C'est mangeable, sans plus.
(Pasta Express sur Fleury est encore un des restaurants qui se rapproche le plus du vrai goût des gnocchis traditionnel)
The hardest store name to remember but also the easiest to find because when you search up'delicious 5$ gnocchi' Drogheria Fine is the first place that pops up. All year long no matter the weather, when I'm in a rush for a quick meal this place is my first thought. The gnocchis are chewy, plump & everything you can wish for in a comfort meal. The portions are seriously generous + the tomato sauce is always so rich & with little extra cheese it becomes perfection. If you want to feel like you're on cloud nine from the flavours come here. I love this place (& it's vegetarian).
Stopped in yesterday & despite a long line, it moved rather quickly.
Menu is definitely very limited (gnocchi with cheese with option to add spicy or gnocchi with extra cheese & spicy).
The gnocchi was pillowy & filled to the brim of the takeout container for $6. Sauce tasted good but would've paid more for them to use real parm cheese than the typical store bought parm.
Chopsticks come with the gnocchi but charged extra for forks which is a bit annoying as chopsticks were not ideal for it.
For a quick, cheap snack we would definitely go back.
The price is great, that's about the only positive thing about the gnocchi. They're a bit too chewy, like they were overcooked. The sauce is basically chef Boyardee's, its oily, acidic & tastes like basic tomato sauce. The parmesan is not fresh so it smells. Also dislike the chopstick gimmick.
Portions généreuses & ambiance conviviale à la Drogueria Fine. On sent le souci d'offrir une cuisine maison réconfortante. Les gnocchis, bien que satisfaisants, manquaient un peu de complexité - simples, avec une texture correcte mais sans véritable éclat en bouche. Une formule à plat unique qui a son charme, mais qui pourrait gagner à être un peu plus audacieuse. Cela reste une belle adresse de quartier pour un repas sans prétention.

Une perle cachée. Un petit comptoir sans prétention, mais incroyable & pour 5$ seulement. J'en ai pris 2, parceque je suis un peu gourmand mais les portions sont quand même généreuse & bien chaude, nappée d'une sauce maison à tomber . Texture parfaite, moelleuse & sans être pâteuse. Les gnocchis sont bien dorés là où il faut. Du pur bonheur dans une petite boite.
This is the best dang Gnocchi place i have ever eaten. I live in Ottawa & I purposefully pass by Montreal to stop here EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it is GOD send. Eating the Gnocchi here feels like I died & went to heaven. Eating the food here feels like an oasis in the Sahara dessert. The sauce is amazing. The service is fire. Everything is good.

Un bon rapport qualité-prix mais je m'attendais à des gnocchis plus savoureux & plus riche en fromage malgré le supplément extra-fromage. C'est bon & ça dépanne pour le prix!
Cool little street food-type stall offering a nice cheap meal! The gnocchi are basically little tiny balls of dough after steeping in the sauce for a while but they're still good! The sauce was nicely spiced & tasted great. Can't complain for the price.

J'ai décidé d'y faire un arrêt puisque j'étais dans le coin. Vue le hype sur tik tok. Bon service. Cependant, les gnocchi étaient pâteux, & la sauce très acide. Je n'y retournerai pas. Puisque j'ai eu de la difficulté à digérer le tout. #relux. De plus, isl n'ont pas ouvert à l'heur indiqué sur Google.
