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.
A great grab & go option that really adds to the dynamiam of the street. A little on the spicy side but nothing unbearable.
Portion sizes are on the larger size so it makes a perfect on the go appetizer for two if you're on your way to one of the other great restaurants or dessert spots that are on this street.
$5 food that's actually good. The service is super quick & nice.
Only thing to note: we went on friday night before 9, said it was open till then, & it wasn't :( there were a few other people as confused as we were lol. But tbh fair, just would like to know in advance :)
We still came back the day after & were not disappointed
Solid choice! Not that spicy or cheesy, but delicious none the less. It is definitely too much for one person in my opinion. We split one box between four people & I felt like that was the perfect amount. I would totally recommend stopping by! However, like most spots in Montréal there isn't really a place to stop & sit & eat. There was a small seating area that was a public shared space & at the time we were able to get a spot. So be prepared to eat & walk or eat & stand.

Delicious, filling, & super cheap gnocchi -- what more can you ask for? This cute, Instagram-famous shop window serves nothing but gnocchi with homemade tomato sauce; you can only get it to-go, & they don't sell anything else (although you can choose to dress it up with cheese &/or red pepper flakes). Although they only make one thing, they do it incredibly well -- the gnocchi is super soft & pillowy, & it's clear that they started as a tomato sauce shop. The sauce is remarkably flavorful, with the right balance of savory, acidic, & very slightly sweet. It's especially tasty with the pepper, although beware that they like to pour a vat full of red pepper flakes on top. It's served in a Chinese take-out container with chopsticks, which is very cute & feels a bit like a clash of cultures.
The staff is super friendly, & it's 100% worth a stop, especially at their price point of $5 for a giant take-out container. They don't have any seating inside, but there are a few benches nearby that you can plop down on.
Delicious food for a great price, service is quick & direct & in a charming little place right on the street. One of the need-to-know places in Montreal.

A delicious little treat for just $5-6.50! I highly recommend adding cheese & chili flakes, it's seriously good. Just a heads-up: they only accept Canadian debit or cash. Last time I went, I skipped lunch because it was so filling for the price. Great value! The line moves quick too.
$6 gnocchi with cheese, it really doesn't get any better than this ! i didn't expect much for the price point, but the sauce was surprisingly great, the gnocchi was a good texture, & the portion size was generous
Lieu sans chichi, rapide, de très bons gnocchi avec ou sans formage, la quantité est parfaite, attention ils ne prennent pas les c'est paiement en CB crédit
