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.
It was my first time trying this dish, & it tasted pretty good with a very reasonable price. Although it can be a bit much if you eat a lot, it's perfect to share with friends.
I mean, it's a storefront that serves one thing - gnocchi. Served in a Chinese takeout box with chopsticks (forks cost extra) with options of as is, extra cheese, spicy, or both. Grab a box & sit on the benches out front to eat. Very very addictive!
Nice simple dish at a very fair price. Thank you for the meal! If you're looking for some gnocchi in Montreal while walking around the mile end, this is the spot. The shop front looks nice, the staff is nice & the food tastes good.
It's a small shop, like street food. The food is simple & not too bad. Only $5, & you can get a box of Gnocchis🥡Take out option only. They offer chopsticks🥢so, it's better you prepare your own spoon 🥄, or if you don't mind to spend extra money to get a spoon ^^ They serve it hot, I think it's good for cold days to enjoy the hot food 😉 There are benches around the area that you can sit & eat. There is an ice cream shop just beside, so after Gnocchis, you can have an ice cream if it's too hot 😄 Personally, if you are very hungry, you can have the whole box of Gnocchis on your own, otherwise two to share one box is also good option, too 😊😊😊

The best gnocchi in Montreal. Cheap, but great for the value. The gnocchi & the sause are home made & they are delicious!!!! Not spice, it won't burn in your stomach...is a perfect meal for the day if you like Italian food.
Straighforward gnocchi place. A classic take-out spot in Mile-End that locals & tourists love. The prices are fairly good ($6 per box) & the sauce & pasta are rich & filling. During the early afternoon, there may be lineups of around 10-15 minutes. Note that there is also no seating, & I don't recommend buying the pasta+sauce in the jar because it doesn't cook nearly as well at home. Despite this, it's my favourite comfort food spot.
they're so affordable (5$ for a regular box, tax included) & make for a delicious snack when you're visiting mile-end!! i get some every time i'm in the area, they're served hot & in arguably big portions for the price. definitely not to miss if you're around!
Meilleur gnocchi en ville! Excellente sauce maison & la texture des pâtes est parfaite. Prix très raisonnable pour la portion & va vous remplir le bide sans problème. Sauce & gnocchi authentique. Ils offrent aussi un pot maçon de 3 portions pour 15$ afin de faire la recette à la maison.
Got to try this place on a food tour, glad they added this spot to the line up. This spot dishes out gnocchi cooked in their freshly made sauce. It's take out only & they give you chopsticks to eat the gnocchi which was different. Given the cost it's definitely worth a stop. You can buy just cans of the sauce too.
Best value for money! Great portion! Really love the sauce :) & it's super cheap given the amount of food. No seats but nice to have it at the benches & just do ppl watching.
