The food was amazing ! I especially loved the smash burgers, they were so good with just the right amount of sauce so it doesn't become soggy. Staff is also very kind & welcoming . Can't wait to come back & try the steak poutine !
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. 😊

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.
This is a hidden gem. Best steak sub I ever ate.....loaded with juicy steak, delicious. Can't wait to try their double smash burger. Very reasonable prices.
I arrived to the restaurant, I ordered a steak poutine & the gentleman at the cashier told me it will take 10 minutes & he gave me a free delicious soup. I took the poutine out, it was really good on of the best I ever try. Friendly staff, nice environment. Defiantly will go again

Nous sommes venus dîner au Petit Wellington & c'était une très belle expérience! Très bon service & la nourriture était incroyable. Nous avons pris les Smash burger & la poutine au steak. Tout était frais & délicieux! En attendant notre commande, ils nous ont servi une bonne soupe, ce qui était une belle surprise. Si vous cherchez un endroit cozy avec de la bonne nourriture, c'est la place pour vous!:)
Service remarquable, personnel très attentionné & nourriture excellente faite avec soin, la poutine steak vaut le détour, je n'ai aucun doute que les smash burgers doivent être tout aussi délicieux
J'ai de forts doutes que les avis dithyrambiques 5 étoiles soient vrais. Jeudi 18h, en entrant le resto est vide & sombre, seulement un habitué malcommode au bar. La soupe servie en attendant c'est gentil. Mais la poutine Steak Philly était tout sauf wow. Très peu de frites noyées dans la sauce, pas de vrai fromage en grains, & le mélange avec un genre de vinaigrette italienne on top donne un goût douteux de revenez-y pas. 23$ avec une liqueur & le tip, pour cette qualité ce n'est pas raisonnable. Triste expérience :-

The Montreal Steak Poutine was AMAZING!!! I also tried the smash burger. It was a classic delicious burger & their fries are absolutely delicious. Everything is made on spot so it's nice & fresh. Comes with a soup which was a nice surprise. The service was great, so friendly😊 Will definitely be back!
I came due to the great reviews & can confirm that this place is fantastic! The owners are incredibly nice & make you feel right at home. The free soup is perfect for whetting your appetite while waiting for your order. So far, the steak poutine is my favorite poutine to date, & the smash burgers were delicious & seared perfectly. A+
This is a great place for great food. You are treated like family & the place is nicely decorated & very clean. You have to try the excellent homemade soup, it is wonderful especially on these cold winter days! The steak poutine is very tasty & the fries were perfect as they did not get soggy with the sauce. This is a place everyone should try.
