Personale disponibile e cortese, sempre attenti e veloci. Ho preso piatti tipici come il panino alla carne affumicata e la famosa Poutine. Per i miei gusti piatti molto pesanti ho faticato molto a digerirli.

Quel bonheur de découvrir cet endroit. L'ambiance avec les banquettes rouges est vraiment chaleureuse & typique.

Nous nous sommes régalés avec le sandwich à la viande fumée. La portion était très généreuse & la viande était parfaitement tendre. Le tout servi avec une belle portion de frites croustillantes & un cornichon croquant. Une excellente adresse pour un repas authentique.

I ordered the beef with onions on top & fries on the side. Unfortunately, the fries were poorly cooked, they seemed shriveled like they had been left in the oil for too long. The meat was also quite mediocre with not much flavor.

One thing I really disliked about this place is that they don't accept split payment methods. For example, you cannot pay part of the bill in cash & the rest by card.

The service was also not very impressive. The asian server also wasn't very welcoming or friendly & barely smiled.

Great tender smoked meat! It was a little fatty for my taste but very nice natural smoked flavor without relying on heavy seasoning or salt for taste. Fairly priced for a time consuming process.

The server wearing the mask was a lovely man..polite & professional. Smoked meat was delicious, but the fries were inedible. I assume they were fried in cold oil. They were soaking wet with oil..disgusting.

Their smoked meat poutine is excellent! Definitely worth a stop. Portions are also pretty massive so if you haven't planned for a large meal you may want to share your entree.
