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.
In the spirit of supporting small businesses I visited this place. However, their sauce doesn't disappoint at all. I wasn't in love with their Gnocchi but it was filling & good food. The sauce is GOOD! They don't have dine-in experience, they take cash or card which is nice. You can get takeout or just the sauce. They have spicy option & regular. The spicy is super spicy!
After reading all of the reviews about the gnocchi I just had to try it. I was disappointed that the sauce had a Chef Boyardee tang to it. The price was low, but not worth the trip to get here.

For five bucks, this place is beyond worth it. An entire Chinese takeout box of gnocchi with tomato sauce & option of additional cheese &/or red pepper flakes! It's the only thing they serve, & they get it RIGHT. Pillowy soft & petite gnocchis. Super saucy, which I prefer. Do not skip this food counter as part of your Mile End Fairmount Ave tour!
Amazing deal only $5. Great portion, you can smell the delicious sauce through out the street. Fair mount bagels is right next door making it a great area to stop for food.
The only good thing about it was the cheap price - $5. We had the spicy one, & it was honestly pretty bad, putting just chilly flakes, is not enough to make a tasty spicy sauce.

I wanted to love it so much!!!...but the sauce smelled better then it tasted...I mean it's ok but definitely overrated. Food is cheap & it's at a good price but the sauce is too liquid for me. I prefer my sauce thicker. & also, the cheese is super disappointing...I was expecting fresh mozzarella or fresh cheese on top but it was very ordinary parmesan. & not the best kind either... Glad I've tried it but not going back...
Meilleurs gnocchis servis dans une belle petite boîte pour manger bien assis sur le trottoir. À 5,00$ cela fait un repas tellement savoureux! Vous avez même l'option d'acheter des litres de gnocchis dans leur sauce pour réchauffer à la maison! Un MUST à découvrir sur la rue Fairmount!
Sauce légendaire en vente en pots. Il est possible d'y trouver un carton de gnocchis avec leur célèbre sauce pour 5$. Nul besoin de dire qu'une visite s'impose lorsque nous sommes dans le quartier. À noter qu'il n'y a aucune place assise, il s'agit d'un comptoir. Le service y est rapide.

Cheap fast & super delicious. What more can you ask for. Usually a line so be patient. You can skip to the front of the line if you are buying a jar of sauce & not getting any gnocchi. Can ask for extra cheese or spicy.
Just potato dough balls in a very basic tomato sauce... stumbled onto this place thinking the line of people was for bagels... gave it a try & no big deal other than it is cheap... ate a few bites... then went to Wilenky for a real meal & dessert at theItalian place... plus I can eat out of the rain...
Stopped in on a food tour of Montreal. The sauce was tasty. The gnocchi was a bit heavy but paired with the sauce. If you are in the need of a quick hearty lunch it's a good option.
Adorable takeout counter with friendly owners, offering $5 gnocchi & they also have homemade sauce that you can buy. Today they had spinach gnocchi! Ill def be back !! 5 Stars !

Waited in line for almost an hour. But it was worth it because that first bite made me squirt a lil! Great price too! Gnocchi was pillowy & the sauce was flavourful.
I bought gnocchi with cheese & hot pepper flakes & I loved it, the tomato sauce is delicious. Just be careful & let them cool a little, because they are really hot.
