Reviews depict G. Lafrite as a casual cash only neighborhood spot known for poutine, generously portioned fries, and classic hot dogs, with many noting the poutine as among the best in Quebec and the cheese curds and gravy as consistent strengths, along with solid burgers and homemade fries. Service is described as fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, with takeout available and some seating in the back. While many customers fondly recall authentic Quebec flavors and fair prices, caveats include hot dogs that can be bland or overwhelmed by a very sweet slaw, the cash only policy, and limited seating. Still, the overall impression is that the spot is a reliable local favorite, a hidden gem for poutine and fries, and good value for a casual bite, making it a common go to for locals craving simple comforting fast food in a neighborhood setting.
If you are looking for that real delicious old school quebec experience & taste this is definitely the place!! Generous portions. Reasonably priced. Quick polite service. I am dissapointed i didn't know about this place sooner. That poutine brought me back to high-school. 10/10 do recommend ill definitely be back. If youre from out of town. Stop over here & grab a poutine & a cheese burger or some hot dogs. 🔥
Food. Only had the steamy hot dog.
It was a classic steamed bun, but the coke slaw was crazy overly sweet & dominated the taste over the mustard & the dog. The dog itself had very little discernible flavour. Sadly I was looking to find a cool patate chien chaud place outside of La Bell & La Fleur, but unfortunately the dogs were not as good at $1.99 a dog it's on par for price it's jus not a tasty hot dog is all. They do make a home made fry but did t get a chance.
Service is nice & also prompt.
Atmosphere. Up front it's a take out but they do have seating in the back.
I had been yearning for a classic hot dog in Montreal style & was pleased to try this place. Everything seemed nice, placed smelled clean, looked clean & organized & well spoken team.
Food was made in like 30 seconds.
I'm sad to say that the hot dog itself is not a tasty variety. The wrapper says Schneider, not sure if this is the brand. I have had Schneider at Wilensky & they were to die for. This is meh, bland at best. Then you add the super sweet slaw & what seemed to be a minute amount of mustard & you have a pore Montreal steamy hot dog.
I am not saying that their other offerings are not good, I'm only referring the steamed hot dogs is all.
Go again. No, not for a hot dog but I would try a fry or poutine.

Inconspicuous hole in a wall that hides a real gem. Cash only spot for classic quebec cuisine. Burgers are good, hot dogs are always the best, & the cheese curds are always fresh.
Always a pleasure visiting this place a real family atmosphere love watching the poutine guy put so much love into his craft very rear these days & supporting a local business makes it just a little more special great food at an incredibly fair price👍
A true local joint where the poutine never disappoints - from the portion size to the rich gravy. Onion rings are just right - crispy & not too greasy. Heads up though, it's cash only, so come prepared! This little gem is a must when you're craving an authentic poutine.
My New Go-To Burger Spot!
This is hands down one of the best double cheeseburgers I've had in Montreal.The portion is generous & the price is very fair for the quality you get. It's incredibly satisfying, with a great ratio of meat, cheese, & toppings in every bite. I'm already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!❤?
