Took the kids here on a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks ago & honestly it was one of those rare spots where everyone at the table was happy. The poutine was the real deal, thick gravy & squeaky curds, exactly what you want after a morning of running around the city. Staff were super friendly & patient with my two little ones who kept changing their minds about dipping sauces. We were in & out in under an hour without feeling rushed, which is basically the dream when you have kids in tow.
The space is quite spacious with plenty of seating. It wasn't too loud, & the place has a very local, laid back feel. I went in the early afternoon on a weekday, so it wasn't busy at all. It felt calm, quiet, & comfortable.
The menu includes poutine, smash burgers, burgers, & a few side dishes. I ordered the sausage poutine. It was really good & came with a generous amount of sausage. The food arrived quickly, about 5 minutes after ordering.
There was one male server working the floor. He was friendly, attentive, & very efficient. He moved constantly, stayed flexible, & paid attention to every table. Very professional overall.
Definitely worth trying. I would come back if I am in the area again.
We visited from Alberta, wanted delicious poutine while in Montreal, & were not disappointed with our experience. In fact, my friend who had not yet experienced a poutine which she enjoyed, really enjoyed it! I was delighted that she finally could understand my enjoyment of poutine. Both the poutine & the side salad that we shared were delicious! Would highly recommend this place!
The cheese they put on the poutine is fantastic, but unfortunately there just wasn't enough of it. If you get any poutine other than the one that comes with double the cheese, I'd ask for extra cheese (can't remember if that's an option when you order online though). The fries are ok, not quite as good as the cheese but not terrible either. The gravy though is where things took a turn for the worst. It just wasn't that good in my opinion. Mine also had the pulled pork on it, which was fine & a decent serving.
If they can fix the gravy & add extra cheese it would push their poutines to 5 star.
Service was fine, but this is a takeout order placed online. There was an issue with the order not being ready when I came to pick it up, even though we were late to pick it up due to traffic. They claimed there was some issue with the tickets not printing, & thankfully I didn't have to wait very long (about 10 min). Not sure if that's a common occurrence or just a one off.
This establishment came highly recommended from a friend who has lived in Montreal for 8 years, with a few locations around the island, we were told to patronize the St-Denis location because it has seating & is very kid friendly. The children's menu includes a poutine option for double cheese curds called LA Skouik-Skouik, I strongly recommend asking your child to pronounce it fully if you're not a native Quebecian.
The Frites are double-fried Belgian style in beef tallow, which is my favorite way to cook potatoes in general. The 100% Canadian beef burgers are also fantastic.
Strongly recommend this location if you're visiting or if you want some of the best poutine in the area (sample size=3).
