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.
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.
Delicious, filling, & super cheap gnocchi -- what more can you ask for? This cute, Instagram-famous shop window serves nothing but gnocchi with homemade tomato sauce; you can only get it to-go, & they don't sell anything else (although you can choose to dress it up with cheese &/or red pepper flakes). Although they only make one thing, they do it incredibly well -- the gnocchi is super soft & pillowy, & it's clear that they started as a tomato sauce shop. The sauce is remarkably flavorful, with the right balance of savory, acidic, & very slightly sweet. It's especially tasty with the pepper, although beware that they like to pour a vat full of red pepper flakes on top. It's served in a Chinese take-out container with chopsticks, which is very cute & feels a bit like a clash of cultures.
The staff is super friendly, & it's 100% worth a stop, especially at their price point of $5 for a giant take-out container. They don't have any seating inside, but there are a few benches nearby that you can plop down on.

Knew about this place from its hype online but actually just stumbled past it unintentionally as it's located near lots of other popular eats! Simply cheap & tasty. It is a bit plain & the sauce kind of reminds me of Chef Boyardee, but it was delicious nonetheless. After all it's only 6$ (cheese is 1$ extra).
Cheap, tasty, fillings hmm what else I can say? This place is located next to Fairmount bagel, so after I got my bagels I went & got $5 gnocchi with cheese. It came on chinese take out boxes with wooden chopsticks. There's an extra $ if you'd like the fork. Taxes included on the price.
There was a long queue but it went relatively fast (about 25 mins) & was worth the wait. Tasty gnocchi & big portions for what you pay! While waiting you can grab a bagel from the shop next door.
Drogheria Fine's gnocchi are soft, flavorful, & covered in a tasty Calabrese tomato sauce with parmesan on top. The mix of spice & cheesy makes every bite amazing. Simple, quick, & delicious - perfect street food! Special mention to the chopsticks that helped me very well

Super friendly & kind staff & amazing prices! One serving fills me up personally & it's one of my go to spots in the city for an affordable & tasty meal. Despite the line being long at times the service is fast & efficient so don't be intimidated by how long the line might seem
Nice business Idea with an Excellent quality/price gnocchi, only take out with no seats available but you can eat your gnocchi in any benches & enjoy the weather on a sunny day. Gnocchi are tasty & authentic enough to be called an Italian dish, very hard working & nice people at the business. Great location, after gnocchi you can enjoy a nice espresso at Cafe Olympia located just a few minutes walk from Drogheria Fine.
