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.
I was a little disappointed when my mom & I got out of our Uber to learn that this was just a take away window. Boy, that disappointment disappeared quick! It's no wonder there was a line down the block for this place. Mom had never had gnocchi before & I dont think she'll ever forget trying it for the first time. DELICIOUS!!! We ate from our take-out containers & window shopped in this eclectic part of town. I've had all kinds of gnocchi before & this was by far the best!! My mouth is watering as I write this. Seriously. Sauce comes in regular marinara or spicy, & is topped with delicious cheese. I cant wait to visit Montreal again & will definitely be coming back here!!
Yummy gnochi! My rec is no spice, extra cheese. The red pepper flakes don't complement the gnocchi well, in my opinion. Hot sauce...sure. Dusty pepper, pass.

this place is a MUST try. the line is worth the wait & the menu can't get simpler. stop by here in between shopping & you'll be set for a while! my partner & i had to go back again before leaving the city.
Iconic spot for cheap eats. You're near guaranteed to end the day with a heartburn session post-gnocchi, but for $5 it's impossible to beat. Be aware of long lines at peak hours, otherwise the service is great.
This was the 2nd stop on our food tour & OMG what amazing "street gnocchi". I had no idea I needed this in my life but I totally do. I had read about it before I got there & couldn't figure out the appeal but I was so wrong. It's little fluffy pillows of goodness in an amazing sauce severed in a Chinese takeout box eaten with chopsticks standing on the sidewalk & it is pefection!!!
Un excellent rapport qualité prix :) avec un service très sympathique. Au début sceptique j'ai vite revu mon jugement ! Le goût est la & la quantité aussi ! Il y avais un peu d'attente mais bon c'est surmontable. À recommander pour un déjeuner rapide, bon & économique.
Absolute institution. Service was extremely rapid & the food is delicious, not to mention how cheap the portions are! Gotta pay extra for a fork though! Comes with chopsticks:)

Les gnocchis sont servis en bonne quantité pour le prix: n'hésitez pas à essayer surtout par une journée froide. Ajoutez épices & fromage & prenez un pot de sauce pour emporter!
The epitome of cheap & delicious food in Montreal. $5 for the best gnocchi in tomato you've ever had. An absolute must-see for anyone wanting a cheap & delicious meal to-go while you explore the Mile End.
Le concept est super ! Les gnocchis sont bons...petit bémol pour la sauce qui reste fade (bon manque d'épice). /! Les quantités ont été divisée par 2, le prix est resté le même. DOMMAGE ! Proche d'être une super place...
Un peu de queue en arrivant, mais finalement ça avance vite, gnocchi classique au fromage, très bon, surtout vu le prix, avec la fourchette en bois ( qui est en supplément) j'ai payer environ 6.20 dollars taxe & tips
