Ordered the smoked meat poutine & it was so good! The gravy was super tasty & they piled a ton of smoked meat on top. It's the perfect classic Montreal comfort food. The place had a cool vibe & the staff was really friendly too. Definitely hitting this spot up again!

Very nice & cozy restaurant! We visited from Toronto & tried their classic poutine. It was very yummy, I would recommend adding more cheese curds if you're ordering! Also, the portion sizes are HUMONGOUS!! 1 plate can be shared by 2 people! Very nice atmosphere, & the servers are very nice!

Classic Montreal smoked meat as you'd expect. Tasted good. One of the top smoked meat places in the city. Quick service, our group of 12 were out before 1pm on a weekday.

Small issue with their own black cherry coke. Tasted watered down, despite the high sugar. Keep working that recipe.

Tried the poutine here & it was absolutely amazing! The fries were crispy, the cheese curds were fresh & squeaky, & the gravy was rich & full of flavor. A true Canadian classic done perfectly! Highly recommend if you're craving comfort food.

Absolutely delicious! I had the famous sandwich & it truly exceeded my expectations - the meat was so tender it literally melted in my mouth. Every bite was full of flavor, & the portion was generous. The experience totally worth it, especially if you're visiting Montreal & want to try something local & satisfying. *Highly recommended* - this place deserves the hype. *Must-try spot* if you love classic deli flavors done right!
