Review Summary

Drogheria Fine is a beloved Montreal destination known for serving simple, affordable, and comforting gnocchi directly from a takeout window. While the menu is limited to gnocchi with tomato sauce, with options to add cheese or chili flakes, the concept is widely celebrated for its efficiency and value. Many patrons appreciate the pillowy texture of the pasta and the rich, homemade quality of the sauce, often describing it as a perfect snack for a cold day. Although opinions on the flavor profile vary, with some noting a preference for a more traditional marinara, most visitors agree that the experience is a quintessential part of the Mile End neighborhood. Be prepared for potential lineups, as the spot is popular, and ensure you have cash or a Canadian debit card on hand since they do not accept credit cards.

Very fast service $5 sounded like a bargain. Unfortunately, at first glance, the sauce looked like tomato soup. Upon tasting it, it reminded me of canned tomato soup. So dissapointed that the two of us couldn't eat more than a few bites before deciding to bring it home & doctor it up with some seasoning or real tomato sauce.

Je ne comprends pas l'engouement de ce restaurant. J'ai pris les gnocchis à 5$ régulier (pas de piquant & pas de parmesan) & j'ai été vraiment déçue. C'est sûr que le prix est vraiment très abordable mais je m'attendais vraiment à plus surtout vu les critiques extrêmement positives. Je trouve que la sauce n'était pas très savoureuse & que la texture des gnocchis était étrange (trop collantes en bouche & molles). Bref, je ne recommande pas sauf si vous avez vraiment faim & avez un budget extrêmement limité.

Quick & easy street food. I wasn't a fan of the dense, chewy texture of the gnocchi but the sauce + chili flakes were great!

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!!

This is an unreal experience. Where in the world can you find a window that just sells gnocchi? Well you can find it here, & the sauce & a gnocchi is so good..

The sauce is homemade, & it tastes like it is in a pot for hours if not days. There's no sweetness, no sugar, all you can taste is reduced tomatoes, caramelized onions, & the herbs. The sauce has a bold body & is very herbaceous.

$5 gets you a sizable container that wall keep you satisfied for hours.
