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.
Can we have the 5$ gnocchi?... Server: Yes that will be 6$ 🥲 The wait time was long & the portions are not worth very much more than 5$. 30¢ for a fork.
Glad to support small businesses. Interesting take on gnocchi. First time I've ever seen Italian served in a Chinese fast food container with chop sticks. Excellent flavor in the sauce & cheese. Excellent value also.
Actually I went to the street to try ice cream & there was a long line for gnocchi. Smell was so good & the line made me to try it. The sauce was good & extra cheese & pepper flakes made it even better. But I didn't like the texture. It was too soggy. It was fun to try gnocchi in a Chinese takeout box with chopsticks. Gnocchi was very tiny so folk is much easier to grab it.
Love the ambience. It's fun to buy those cute take out boxes of gnocchi, but I have to be honest about the taste. The sauce is very mid, a shockingly tangy bright orange. Reminded me of Chef Boyardee with some added basil. The gnocchi are as small as baked beans, also a bit strange. The parmesan on top is ok. I was only able to eat half before I got full. The serving size looks deceivingly small, but this stuff really fills you up! Overall a fun thing to try once....maybe twice. It was $5. SO CHEAP! (I brought my own fork, lol, but they sell wooden ones. Those are not free)
Absolutely LOVED the gnocchi!! I tried the spicy & cheesy gnocchi & it did not disappoint! Would definitely come back, it also helped that it was rainy today so there wasn't much of a line.
Great cheap eats option, although the gnocchis were overcooked, the sauce was overly salty, it was still hot, good & filling for 5$, wouldn't go out of my way to try it again but for 5$ you really can't complain.

Service was good, the story about the place was the reason we went there. Food was ok, not the best sauce, not the best gnocchi. It's a good option if you want cheap convenient to-go food
Très bons gnocchis dans sauce tomate goûteuse. Simple, dans une boite "chinoise" to-go. Pas cher: que 6$ :) Paiement comptant ou débit seulement. Pas ma 1re visite. Contente que le commerce existe encore!
