La Ligne Rouge draws praise for its doner and gyros, with notes that the meat is tender and flavorful, the tzatziki sauce fresh, and the fries and poutine solid values for the price. The place comes across as a classic, nostalgic stop for locals and visitors alike, a dependable quick bite with consistent flavors and a sense of tradition. The menu is lauded for generous portions and affordable prices, with many calling the doner and gyro among the best in town or even in the region, and the overall experience often described as tasty and satisfying. Some notes mention a cash only policy and the absence of delivery services which can be a hassle for those far away, plus occasional updates needed on opening hours and moments of brisk service. A few reviews describe the staff as straightforward or curt while still efficient, but most emphasize friendly and attentive moments and a welcoming atmosphere when time allows. Overall the impression is that La Ligne Rouge delivers reliable flavor and a convenient quick bite, though payment methods and hours can affect convenience for some customers, and the place remains a staple for those seeking a hearty, well seasoned wrap with strong street food vibes.
Portion was decent, but nothing special considering the price & the fact that it's cash only (14,5$ + tax for 2 pork doners). They're a bit stingy with the toppings (barely any onion or tomato or lettuce), except for the tzatziki sauce, which is the one good thing.

Le restaurant était sale.Il y avait des reste de nourriture sur les tables & à même le sol.Le pire c'est que j'ai trouvé des cheveux dans mon repas.C'est clair que je n'irai plus là-bas même si on m'offrait un repas gratuit.Anyway, j'espère qu'ils vont s'améliorer.
I give this a 2.5 I grew up eating in this place, went away when COVID hit . Came back & the gyros are smaller, dry meat. Soggy fries NOT at all what it used to be. This place used to be FIRE GOOD juicy. Best gyro in the city for sure. Cash only & all I used to didn't care for that. Hopefully they come back as they used to. Many new places open up & are very good. (Reply) No sir it was quite open, sad instead of inviting again you come with a joke. Your gyro is DRy & small at 2pm during the day
Généreuses portions, le gyro était excellent, la poutine à la viande également. Service rapide. Si vous avez aimé la Ligne Rouge il y a 10-20 ans, retournez-y ! C'est encore pareil! Votre côté nostalgique vous remerciera ;)
Quick & tasty. I rate service as 5 stars but it's not for everyone haha I've known these guys for years & it was great to be back after moving away from Montréal 12 years ago!!
Amazing gyro, shawarma, etc. & the fries are truly great. & for the people whining about the cook in the reviews... I honestly think it's part of the charm 😂
Le gyros est le meilleur que j'ai mangé ! Les frites sont très bonnes aussi. J'y retourne aussi souvent que possible ! Ne vous attendez pas à un décor 5 étoiles par contre. Une visite vaut la peine.
Absolutely delicious kebabs! The chickenwas tender, the veggies were fresh, & the sauce was just perfect. Quick service & friendly staff too. Will definitely be coming back for more! Make sure you bring cash tho! (CASH ONLY)
Really good doner & food. They only take cash. One of the only places that closes late at night if you ever need to grab something to eat. The worker may be rude but you don't go there for the service or vibe. Just the food
J'ai été pour la première fois à la ligne rouge suite à la recommandation d'un ami & après la réouverture du restaurant. Le menu est diversifié pour un fast food de ce type pour tous les budgets. J'ai opté pour une Poutine à la viande. La Poutine était vraiment bonne. Je recommande ce restaurant proche par le métro Jean-Talon. PS Ils prennent seulement de l'argent comptant. I went for the first time eat at "la ligne rouge" after the recommendation of a friend of mine & the reopening of this place. The menu offers a lot of options for a good range of budget. I opted for meat poutine. It was really good. I recommend this place. Moreover, it's near of Jean-Talon station. Ps Cash only
