Review Summary

G. Lafrite comes across as an unpretentious cash only neighborhood favorite where generous portions, fresh ingredients and affordable prices meet classic Quebec staples like poutine, burgers and hot dogs. Reviewers describe a warm, family atmosphere and friendly, efficient service, with poutine often praised for rich gravy and fresh cheese curds, and burgers and hot dogs highlighted as reliable favorites. The spot is repeatedly called a hidden gem, an inconspicuous hole in the wall that still delivers top quality at a fair price, making it a go to for locals and visitors alike. Some comments note the limited indoor seating and the cash only policy, which can surprise first timers, while others recall the sense of a neighborhood institution where portions are generous and meals are consistently fresh and satisfying, with outdoor seating in warm seasons mentioned as well. A few drawbacks appear, such as a burnt bun incident, but overall the reviews converge on a simple, no frills spot that keeps drawing regulars back for the poutine and the affordable, hearty fare.

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.

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.

This place is far from glamorous or fancy, in fact it looks like a old converted house, but for what it is, it's perfect. The service was extremely quick, & bilingual, no complaints there. I got home & absolutely devoured two all dressed hot dogs, & honestly one of the best poutines I've had. This isn't haute-cuisine, but the fries, gravy & curds were perfect; just the right amount of greasy & delicious. A good poutine is almost one solid chunk, & this was right on that line. Definitely must try if you're in Montreal. All the flavors of Quebec fast food absolutely done right.
