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.
Saw this place on TikTok so grabbed some lunch in my car when I was in the area, oh my god. For $5?! How can you go wrong. It was so good. I practically inhaled it. If I didn't have a work meeting to be at I would've got another 😂
Cheap fast & super delicious. What more can you ask for. Usually a line so be patient. You can skip to the front of the line if you are buying a jar of sauce & not getting any gnocchi. Can ask for extra cheese or spicy.
Just potato dough balls in a very basic tomato sauce... stumbled onto this place thinking the line of people was for bagels... gave it a try & no big deal other than it is cheap... ate a few bites... then went to Wilenky for a real meal & dessert at theItalian place... plus I can eat out of the rain...
Honestly the 2 girls that were there deserve some encouragement. It has a long line up & they are working hard to serve the people. I don't know if they are married or have bfs but they will make a man real happy one day.

Stopped by on a food tour. Didn't know street gnocchi was a thing & now I'm sad it's not a thing near where I live. The lines were long but moved quickly. Would absolutely stop by when I'm in town & I'd bring solid Tupperware to make the trip home with!
Stopped in on a food tour of Montreal. The sauce was tasty. The gnocchi was a bit heavy but paired with the sauce. If you are in the need of a quick hearty lunch it's a good option.
Adorable takeout counter with friendly owners, offering $5 gnocchi & they also have homemade sauce that you can buy. Today they had spinach gnocchi! Ill def be back !! 5 Stars !
Waited in line for almost an hour. But it was worth it because that first bite made me squirt a lil! Great price too! Gnocchi was pillowy & the sauce was flavourful.
The gnocchi was def some of the best I've had outside of italy!! Would def reccomend if you're a gnocchi fan. Is just a "stand", but is in a cool part of town & benches around.
Porción grande y bastante económico. Afuera del local hay bancas en la cual puedes sentarte a comer. Sería excelente si tuvieran más sabores. Venden frascos de pasta de tomate también.
