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.
Quick & delicious! When a place does only one thing, they better do it well. Drogheria's gnocchi is petite & with just the right amount of sauce. I recommend getting it with extra cheese & spice. (It's a generous spice. Since it's red pepper flakes added on top, you can ask them to hold back a little bit.) Chopsticks are free. Forks are available for a slight cost. Find a nearby bench & enjoy!
Je n'ai pas trop aimée. En effet, ils étaient pas très bien cuit & tout mou. Ça collaient beaucoup au palais & dans les dents. Pas pratique quand nous avons un appareil dentaire. Il y avait un peu trop de sauce. Toutefois le fromage était bon. & la queue était plutôt longue. Le service était rapide. Nous devons payer pour les fourchettes sinon c'est baguette ou rien. Il n'y a pas non plus de breuvages.
Yummy food at a reasonable price. The portion in that small-looking takeout makes you full for a while. The sauce & parmesan cheese are reminiscent of my grandma & my mother back in the day. There is no place to dine in & also if you have only a credit card you are going to be in trouble. It all depends on you how much love this food or the nostalgia around it.
Les gnocchis à 5$ étaient corrects. La portion était généreuse, mais les pâtes étaient un peu trop cuites & il manquait de PEP dans le plat. Ça a valu la peine de l'essayer, mais on retournera pas. Pouet pouet?
Edit: 2 years later & still the same great taste at the same great price $5 for a box of gnocchi you're unlikely to forget Simple & delicious gnocchi, tomato sauce. Just one thing & that one thing done right
