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 a small, cash or debit only takeout counter with no indoor seating that serves gnocchi in a windowed, street-food style setting, often enjoyed with the option of cheese or spicy toppings and a rich tomato sauce; reviews describe the gnocchi as pillowy and comforting and the portions generous for the price, while the sauce can range from deeply flavorful to overly sour or bland depending on the batch, with some gnocchi textures being chewy or overcooked. The experience is quick, casual, and distinctly neighborhood, aided by friendly staff and a bustling takeout line that moves, and the packaging— a simple to-go box with optional jar sauce to take home—adds to the charm. Many praise the affordability and the nostalgia of a place that started as a sauce shop before the gnocchi became iconic, while a few note that the sauce is not always to their taste and some batches feel more like a can than homemade. Overall, it’s considered a must-try for gnocchi lovers seeking a hard-to-beat value and a quintessential Montréal moment, even if every visit doesn’t hit the same high note.
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
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.
Tout d'abord, il faut reconnaître que le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Cependant, en ce qui concerne le goût, je reste un peu mitigé. Il manque un petit quelque chose, un peu de peps. La sauce est déjà légèrement acidulée, mais au bout de la moitié du plat, on finit par se lasser parce que le palais s'habitue trop vite, & on est rapidement rassasié. En revanche, le parmesan est vraiment délicieux, une vraie réussite ! Cela dit, je trouve que c'est un concept intéressant & très ingénieux, surtout pour ceux qui ont un budget serré.
Great cheap eatery in the Mile End region of Montreal. Authentic tasting Italian food for only 5-6$, yes please. In a city ravaged by inflation, Drogheria fine shines as the holy grail of cheap food. My only complait is that they charge 30 cents for forks.
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!
