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.

Le personnel était très sympathique malgré la longue queue, mais la nourriture n'était malheureusement pas au niveau. Les gnocchis n'étaient pas cuits, & la sauce dans laquelle ils baignent vous sature la bouche après trois cuillères.

Dans aucun cas cela ne valait d'attendre aussi longtemps dans la queue.

Decadently yummy gnocchi in a simple yet delicious tomato sauce. Had it with extra chili flakes for that extra kick & was not disappointed!
Expect to queue for a bit as it's the perfect food to go on a sunny day to eat in a nearby park
Tip: don't hesitate to buy a bagel from the shop next door to sauce on the remaining tomato

The gnocchi is good. The sauce is too simple. But it's hot & tastes good. Add the chili option it's really good
