Delicious food. The best poutine that I have ever tasted

If you're in the area & need some good junk food this is where you go. They've been around since 1912 so they're doing something right. 3rd party delivery is fine too but it's much better very hot as soon as they make it so eat there if you can.

Endroit figé dans le temps! Même décor qui rappelle les cafétérias d'hôpital. Un long babillard de photos de visiteurs connus, de cartes de visite jaunies. Un mur défraîchi, mais propre. Un vrai décor de travailleur affamé qui se fout du reste! Dès que je passe le quartier chinois sur St-Laurent, l'envie irrésistible d'y arrêter me gagne. J'ai besoin d'une poutine authentique & d'un hot-dog vapeur. Leur savoir-faire se situe à un autre niveau & inégalé à Montréal. Les vétérans derrière le comptoir sont sympatiques & d'une efficacité remarquable. Quelques dollars suffisent pour me rassasier & poursuivre ma route !
