I had such a great experience at Le Petit Wellington! The hospitality really stood out-while we were waiting for our food, they kindly offered us soup, which was such a thoughtful touch.
The food itself was fantastic. I highly recommend the smash burger & the poutine both were absolutely delicious.
Delicious, reasonable price, the owners gave a nice healthy little soup while waiting. Tried both a smashburger & the tandoori chicken salad; both were simple & excellent. Wholeheartedly recommend.
More eating room inside than it looks from the outside.

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.
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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Le Petit Wellington - Une vraie belle découverte!
Excellent choix de repas, vraiment! Chaque plat est préparé avec soin & a un goût authentique qui fait du bien. Mais alors la soupe… wow! Un vrai coup de coeur. Riche, savoureuse, pleine de saveurs & parfaitement assaisonnée - on sent que c'est fait maison & avec amour.
Service agréable, ambiance simple mais chaleureuse. Franchement, une adresse à retenir sur Wellington. Je recommande sans hésiter!
Very warm welcome with a soup on a cold day, staff super friendly & nice
Soup was fresh & perfectly seasoned. Loved the soup
Smash burger was very well seasoned & really good. My preferred burger
Chicken burger was also very good. Extremely saucy
Fries are decent, not really seasoned so add some salt & pepper yourself.
The smash burger was amazing & is probably the best in Montreal. Additionally to the smash burger we got legume soup. The owner was very kind & attentive. Definitely a recommend & we will visit again.
