Tasty smoked meat but a bit too fatty for my taste. Good portion sizes, very good service.

Pendant longtemps, j'ai considéré ce restaurant comme l'un de mes endroits préférés & je le recommandais constamment à ma famille & à mes amis de passage. C'est justement pour cette raison qu'il est encore plus décevant d'écrire cet avis aujourd'hui.
L'expérience de cet après-midi (16:30) a complètement été gâchée par l'attitude du personnel au moment du paiement. Après avoir laissé un pourboire, j'ai subi une pression insistante pour donner davantage d'argent. Les employés ont même regardé les billets que j'avais en main & m'ont indiqué lequel je devais donner. Le plus inconfortable a été qu'un employé a pris de la monnaie dans son propre portefeuille afin de compléter & garder le pourboire lui-même.
Un pourboire doit être un geste volontaire basé sur le service reçu, & non quelque chose imposé par la pression ou l'inconfort envers le client. La situation était extrêmement inappropriée & peu professionnelle.
C'est vraiment dommage qu'un endroit que je recommandais avec autant de confiance me laisse finalement une telle impression. Après cette expérience, je n'y retournerai plus & je ne le recommanderai plus non plus.

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!

Not what it used to be smoked meat was good, poutine wasn't as good as before. The curds quality has gone down hill.
