Review Summary

Drogheria Fine is widely celebrated as a quintessential Montreal staple, offering a unique and authentic street food experience centered on fresh, pillowy gnocchi served with a signature tomato sauce. While opinions on the sauce's flavor profile vary, with some diners finding it incredibly comforting and others noting it as overly acidic or simple, the overall consensus highlights the exceptional value and generous portion sizes for the price. The minimalist, quick-service takeout window frequently draws lines, yet the efficient staff and fast turnover make it a convenient stop for locals and tourists alike. Visitors should be prepared for a cash or Canadian debit-only policy and limited seating options, though the cozy neighborhood vibe and proximity to other local gems make it a highly recommended experience for those seeking a hearty, affordable, and warm bite.

Bon, je dois avouer que j'avais hâte de les essayer, après tout j'en avais tellement entendu parler. De plus la longue file qu'on peut apercevoir devant l'établissement me donnais envie d'essayer.

Personnellement, je n'ai pas aimé, pas du tout même. Si vous avez déjà manger des vrais gnocchis, je vous suggère de vous abstenir.

On goûte très peu les patates & la sauce…de provenance incertaine.

C'est mangeable, sans plus.
(Pasta Express sur Fleury est encore un des restaurants qui se rapproche le plus du vrai goût des gnocchis traditionnel)

The hardest store name to remember but also the easiest to find because when you search up'delicious 5$ gnocchi' Drogheria Fine is the first place that pops up. All year long no matter the weather, when I'm in a rush for a quick meal this place is my first thought. The gnocchis are chewy, plump & everything you can wish for in a comfort meal. The portions are seriously generous + the tomato sauce is always so rich & with little extra cheese it becomes perfection. If you want to feel like you're on cloud nine from the flavours come here. I love this place (& it's vegetarian).

Stopped in yesterday & despite a long line, it moved rather quickly.
Menu is definitely very limited (gnocchi with cheese with option to add spicy or gnocchi with extra cheese & spicy).
The gnocchi was pillowy & filled to the brim of the takeout container for $6. Sauce tasted good but would've paid more for them to use real parm cheese than the typical store bought parm.
Chopsticks come with the gnocchi but charged extra for forks which is a bit annoying as chopsticks were not ideal for it.

For a quick, cheap snack we would definitely go back.

The food was good but not sure why they were handing out chopsticks instead of forks.

The price is great, that's about the only positive thing about the gnocchi. They're a bit too chewy, like they were overcooked. The sauce is basically chef Boyardee's, its oily, acidic & tastes like basic tomato sauce. The parmesan is not fresh so it smells. Also dislike the chopstick gimmick.

Great window takeout

Portions généreuses & ambiance conviviale à la Drogueria Fine. On sent le souci d'offrir une cuisine maison réconfortante. Les gnocchis, bien que satisfaisants, manquaient un peu de complexité - simples, avec une texture correcte mais sans véritable éclat en bouche. Une formule à plat unique qui a son charme, mais qui pourrait gagner à être un peu plus audacieuse. Cela reste une belle adresse de quartier pour un repas sans prétention.

Une perle cachée. Un petit comptoir sans prétention, mais incroyable & pour 5$ seulement. J'en ai pris 2, parceque je suis un peu gourmand mais les portions sont quand même généreuse & bien chaude, nappée d'une sauce maison à tomber . Texture parfaite, moelleuse & sans être pâteuse. Les gnocchis sont bien dorés là où il faut. Du pur bonheur dans une petite boite.
