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 !
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.
Definitely worth a visit!

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. 😊
Every single time we go service & food are on point. Today my son went & he told me that they were vraiment gentil avec moi. Their smash burger & poutine are next level :)

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!!
