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.

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.

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.
