We've been here three times in the last two days… & we're already planning to go back again.
The food is amazing, the service is great, & the price point makes it even better.
I originally ordered the bacon burger, & honestly-it's the best smashburger I've ever had.
I didn't realize it came with soup, & I was a little hesitant at first because I'm pretty picky about soup-but wow. It's packed with flavor & ended up being the perfect addition to the meal.
The chicken sandwich is also really good. It has a thin, slightly sweet BBQ sauce that makes it stand out from other chicken sandwiches.
The poutine steak fries are delicious, & the regular fries are absolutely perfect, in my opinion.
Best smash burgers + service on Wellington for the best price. My go to for burgers. Been nearly 10 times in the past year or so & the consistency is top notch. Great soup as well while you wait. Highly recommend 🔥
We (4 of us) ate here tonight & wow the food was so amazing!! The soup to start was just fabulous! Our smash burgers were extremely tasty along with the delicious fries! We will for sure be back!! Prices are very reasonable! Highly recommend!
As a true poutine enthusiast with a very high bar for authenticity-having tried countless spots across Montreal & the regions-I was skeptical at first. But, I'm so glad I gave this place a chance. The poutine was excellent, high-quality, & clearly made with respect for the dish with fresh potatoes.
What really set the experience apart was the hospitality & service. While I waited for my takeout that I ordered on place, the server kindly invited me to sit & brought over a complimentary homemade vegetable soup. It was such a thoughtful (& delicious!) gesture. I've never been to a restaurant that offers a free soup of the day while you wait-it was such a kind touch! Great food & even better service-I'll definitely be back!
Tried Le Petit Wellington & honestly, such a solid little spot.
For $13, you get a soup, a soft drink, a small portion of fries, & a smash burger - which is actually a really good deal for what you're getting. Everything tasted fresh & made-to-order, & I loved that it's an open concept kitchen so you can literally watch them cook your food right in front of you.
We didn't stay long & just split the burger to try it out, but it definitely hit. Simple, well done, & no fuss.
Would come back for sure next time we're in the area

Small, vintage Verdun diner with amazing food! No complaints whatsoever! Whatever you choose on the menu comes with a delicious soup-du-jour (I would have asked for seconds). I ordered the smash burger Wellington & it did not disappoint one bit! Same for the poutine with chicken nuggets!❤? So glad we went there today!
Le Petit Wellington is a successful rebranding of Wellington Street's classic Laterna snack bar.
While irradiating a hole in the wall aura, this humble restaurant offers a simple but delicious menu of burgers, fries, poutines, & a few other items. The menu is tight, the choices may be few, but you are guaranteed tasty freshness in both ingredients & preparation.
The poutines & burgers are really good & prices are decent. As of the time of writing this review, the house offers a soup, fries, smash burger & a soda can for 13,99$. Good value.
The place is clean & offers comfortable seats. The clientele is typical'Verdun' but it leads an extra eccentric charm to the place.
It took me 15 years to come here, I plan to make it a regular haunt.
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.
Quel petit bijou! Les employés sont d'une grande gentillesse, le restaurant est très propre & tout est délicieux! La soupe aux lentilles & légumes en entrée est réconfortante, le sous-marin au steak est rempli d'ingrédients frais & savoureux, le smash burger est très bon & les frites aussi. De plus, les prix sont très raisonnables! Ça sera notre nouveau « spot » quand on a envie d'un bon repas réconfortant. 😊
