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.

Good gnocchi with a very generous portion. I tried it with extra cheese & spicy sauce-the quality was good, but the spicy version wasn't really for me.

Still, if you're a gnocchi lover & want a filling meal, this is a solid option.

I went during the week early so there wasnt a line up. For the quantity & the price, it reasonable. I don't like gnocchi but it can pass. I took the spicy, it not spicy at all.

A small hole in the wall, grab & go Italian restaurant that only sells gnocchi with tomato sauce (the only variation to it is if you want cheese or cheese & chilli pepper with it).
no indoor seatings!! There are outside seatings. Depending when you go there's a line up.

Gnocchi w/ just the sauce coat $5, gnocchi w/sauce & cheese $6 & gnocchi w/ sauce, cheese & chilli spice $6.5.

I passed the restaurant to get bagels next door & saw a walking tour bringing a group of people here. The day I went was gloomy & a bit chilli. So i got the gnocchi with sauce/cheese/ chilli pepper. Not spicy, just gives the pasta a bit of extra taste.

Gnocchi's are what they do. With or without cheese, spicy or regular tomato sauce.
The concept is simple & it works. Found the gnocchi a bit tough but still tasty & the sauce good. So for 5-6$ roughly its an amazing deal & comforting. But good luck finding a parking & a place to sit outside to eat.

Excellent. The pasta is very good, & it's an unbeatable value for 6.50$. I recommend the gnocchi with cheese & spicy.

Drogheria Fine is a small shop that sells gnocchi three ways: plain, with cheese or spicy with cheese. It is a very small shop with no seating available. It is located in a residential area filled with many places to eat & drink. There is a park nearby if you want to sit & eat your gnocchi.

Wow, glad we went here! One item on the menu for $5, but it's done very very well! I got the spicy with cheese version & my wife & son got the cheese version. We all loved it! We will definitely be going back for more!!! For those who've never been this is not a sit down restaurant, it's basically a service counter with sidewalk seating (no tables) in proximity of the location. Looking forward to trying the jar of pasta sauce we bought to bring home!!

A great grab & go option that really adds to the dynamiam of the street. A little on the spicy side but nothing unbearable.

Portion sizes are on the larger size so it makes a perfect on the go appetizer for two if you're on your way to one of the other great restaurants or dessert spots that are on this street.
