A good place to bring your friends. Their poutine is actually the best.

I was very happy to see so many vegan options ! I was in a hurry & received the best service. I was able to get my poutine & leave within 30 min ! A bit salty for my taste, but loved the place:)

A friend from work suggested this spot for our recent visit to Montréal. It was extra appealing for their accommodations for dietary restrictions, since we're traveling with someone who can't have lactose or gluten.
We were initially seated at a high, very small table. When we asked to switch to a booth, we were accommodated as soon as it was possible. The waitress was very attentive & helpful.

Our friend was very happy with having'low gluten' options, which he is okay with. The options & transparency on the menu makes it perfect for the dietary restrictions.

The vegan poutine was good, as was the Eggplant-Ricalstta alla Cannelloni. My cauliflower wings were fantastic. (& we might just be traveling with someone who doesn't appreciate poutine. We will forgive him).

Loved the drink options for cocktails & beers, ultimately went with the original cider which was perfect.

The dècor & atmosphere was great, nice lighting, cool posters, & live music was starting as we were leaving.
Very cool scene, good food & great service!

Malheureusement mauvaise expérience pour nous. La poutine était bonne mais tout le reste était très fade. Très cher pour la qualité de la cuisine & service chaotique

Tout le concept est très original & a un immense potentiel avec l'approche zéro déchet. C'est très chaleureux & le personnel hyper accueillant. Mention spéciale aux deux serveuses hors pair. Là où ça se gâche c'est l'expérience rapport qualité & prix. Si on se prétend être gastronomique, on doit l'incarner. On ne peut servir une assiette de rosbif à 27$ & présenter cela comme un repas de CHSLD. Du brun & du mou même si ça goûte super bon, ca reste de la sauce brune & de la purée de patate douce avec du rapini bouillie détrempé sans goût. Même chose pour le supposé steak de lion's mane. Vous aurez compris qu'on répète le concept du brun & du mou sans aucune créativité, on a droit au même accompagnement que pour le rosbif... & pire, on a déjà coupé le lion's mane en morceau. Pour ceux qui connaissent se succulent champignon, on a même pas le droit de vivre l'expérience de pouvoir le couper soi-même comme si on mangeait un steak. Pour terminer, on nous propose le chômeur renversé aux pommes. Bon au goût mais encore là, grande déception, ça n'a rien à voir avec un pouding chômeur, faut changer l'appellation car c'est un gâteau moelleux mais sec & sans aucune sauce avec 2 mini tranches de pommes. & pour gâcher encore plus le plaisir, on noue noie ça dans une épaisse couche de sucre en poudre. 12$ pour une maigre portion qu'on peut retrouver aisement à 6$ dans un café quelconque. Avec 2 breuvages sans alcool, on termine l'aventure à 100$... Pourtant à voir les assiettes passer, les burgers & les poutines étaient fichument bien garnis & à moindre prix. Un déséquilibre marqué dans ce menu. Je recommande d'éviter la section Saisonnier & vous en tenir aux poutines & burgers. L'équipe devrait abandonner l'appellation gastronomique pour le terme gourmand & s'en tenir a sa partie fastfood de pub.
