Le Petit Wellington created by Alveera. A young woman whose love and passion for simple food inspired her to create Alveera ‘s Gastronomique Canteen. A modern twist to traditional canteen find with a fast - casual approach, serving up smash burgers , poutines , salads and some classic dishes with a twist.
Le Petit Wellington earns high marks for a warm, welcoming, homey vibe, with friendly service and complimentary soup that often starts the meal. The menu centers on comforting fare such as smash burgers, classic burgers, chicken options, and a standout poutine lineup, including steak poutine, all described as fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned at good value. Reviewers consistently praise the soup of the day and the overall quality of food, noting that meals arrive promptly and that portions satisfy even big eaters. The atmosphere is described as cozy and neighbourhood like, a true hidden gem where the owner and staff make guests feel like family. The burgers are repeatedly praised for being juicy and well seasoned, with the smash burger a frequent standout, while the poutines are celebrated for hearty portions, rich gravies, and cheese curds. A small number of criticisms appear, such as a concern about sanitation in one instance and language barriers on the floor, but the overall reaction is overwhelmingly positive and many say they will return or recommend Le Petit Wellington to others.
Anciennement le Laterna qui faisait plus snack bar style Valentine ou Lafleur, le Petit Wellington se dit une cantine gastronomique &... ce n'est pas faux! Le décor est agréable. Les banquettes sont conviviales &'tranquilles'. Le menu est très restreint mais ce n'est pas un défaut. Au contraire! Spécialisez-vous & devenez champion dans votre niche? Rien contre ça! Le service est impeccable & la nourriture est savoureuse. J'ai pris le Smash burger Wellington. Deux boulettes, bacon, fromage & légumes? Copieux & savoureux avec la sauce smash. Les frites sont incluses,... & même une soupe du jour en entrée qui, ma fois, était excellente & réconfortante. Je n'hésiterais pas à recommander... & à y retourner! Très heureux de cette découverte.

Le personnel sait vraiment comment traiter leurs clients, j'ai reçu un très bon service & offre la soupe du jour en cadeau. J'ai commandé un sous-marin & c'était délicieux & copieux. Je recommande.
The food was much better than typical fast food & was ready quickly. They were so kind & checked in to make sure we were enjoying everything. The portions were generous & great value for the price!!
Seriously the most incredible food & service. So happened to stumble upon this place by accident & fell in love with the food immediately. Best smash burgers anyone, oh & the lentil soup is heavenly! The staff are so wonderful & kind!
I hate going to places 30 minutes before they close. We ended up staying 15 minutes past closing. It was cold -18 nd my wife & I wanted to try this place out. One word for the owner: welcoming. Amazing service, food was delicious, had the steak poutine. We spoke to Rakib one of the employees, he was warm, kind & welcoming as well. I will definitely be coming back with my wife but earlier next time
Really nice restaurant with a warm & welcoming atmosphere. The staff were very friendly & seated us promptly. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary soup, which was delicious, as well as free bottles of water. The burger & steak poutine were both very good & well prepared. Overall, a great experience,would definitely recommend this place.
A small restaurant that deserves to be known. Very good smash burgers, ordered on-site, piping hot & delicious, & a free homemade soup. Very friendly & highly appreciated. I love it & recommend it 100%!
