Reviews for G. Lafrite highlight hearty portions, fair prices, quick polite service, and a welcoming neighborhood vibe that feels like classic Quebec comfort food; the poutine earns frequent praise for its cheese curds and rich gravy, fries are described as outstanding, and burgers and hot dogs are reliable favorites, with many noting the casual cash only setup and a true local joint atmosphere; while a few comments mention a steamed hot dog that is bland and the slaw is overly sweet, the overall experience is viewed as worth a repeat visit and a go to spot for a quick satisfying meal.
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.
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.
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.
