Cant you charge 75 cents extra for sauce & cheese on the side for ubereats like patate rouge does? I would like it seperated as the cheese gets soggy by the time its at my door. Willing to pay extra…

If you're worried about a poutine with skimpy cheese, don't be! It was loaded with curds & quite delicious.

This old school joint has been a Montreal institution since 1912. After getting no sleep trying to make a 7 AM flight & siteseeing all day I was starving. The first thing I ate in Montreal was their delicious poutine. Maybe it was because I was tired & starving but that was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Perfectly cooked fries over savory brown gravy topped with squeaky cheese, it was heavenly. I wish I could say the same about the hot dogs. Everything else was good except the dog itself. They tasted like Oscar Meyer dogs frankly so I would avoid them. Service was quick & there's ample seating. This is a cash only establishment so hit up the ATM before you come.

So when I came to visit Montreal from Alberta, this was the place I was told to come & have steamer & poutine. Best experience ever. Yes I know it's a hot dog & french fries with gravy & cheese but holy man do they ever do a great job & the atmosphere hashistory? It's a great little stop for a quick bite to eat. Thank you for my amazing Montreal poutine experience.

Great, comforting establishment. Super affordable food, great for late nights. Poutine here is perfectly done with the cheese at the right melting point with the gravy.

Decent classic style of poutine, made just how it should be with lots of gravy & cheese curds. Ordered their steamed hot dogs which were just okay. Good place to get quick poutine if you have a craving.

If you like italian poutine...this is the spot, their meat sauce is just perfect. Not a fan of the cash only policy though...but great fries, generous portion of cheese. If you need a late night dirty snack, its going to delive

The poutine is worth it all!! It's a hole in the wall in a colorful (seedyish, former red light area) part of Montreal, but the poutine is all that! Perfect fries, melty cheese curds, great gravy. The hotdogs are just plain dogs, but the steamed buns were delicious & the slaw on top rounded it all out. Yes, I was sober as a church mouse. (This place is a popular late night spot. ) It is cash only. They've been in business for over a hundred years & I'm sure it's because of the poutine. It's a dive, & there are no pool tables. It's just a great experience!
