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.

Rapport qualité prix au top !
Le service est rapide malgré la file d'attente qui peut être longue.
Il est possible d'acheter de la sauce tomate aussi.
À ne pas rater !!!

3.5 would be more accurate. You can't beat the portion & the price, & the sauce is good too - but the gnocchi itself is average at best.

The best value & experience for $5 in Montreal! Take out gnocchi in a tomato sauce! Great experience & taste!appreciated the chat with the owner who was very proud to be able to still offer this price to his clients when food costs as everybody knows have gone up in this day & age!
He could certainly charge $8 & still have a line up but his commitment to keeping it at $5 certainly has my support & it will always
be my list of places to visit in Montreal!
Authentic Italian take out experience!

The line moves quickly & all part of the experience!

Planned the trip for the bagel next door, attracted by the smell from here. Now my family only purchase tomato sauce from their online store. BTW we live in New York City :) so happy they ship to the States too.
